JAKARTA, MARINews-The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (MA) of the Republic of Indonesia presented the 2025 annual report at the Special Session held at the Supreme Court Building, Jakarta, Tuesday (10/2/2026).
In his speech, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court highlighted the five pillars of the institution’s main functions, namely judicial function, supervision, advising, administration and regulatory functions.
In order to carry out its regulatory function, the Supreme Court is recorded as having issued five Supreme Court Regulations (Perma) throughout 2025. These regulations are designed to respond to legal dynamics and society’s need for more inclusive access to justice.
The five regulations include:
1. Perma Number 1 of 2025: Changes to the six clerkship and secretariat organizations.
2. Perma Number 2 of 2025: Guidelines for adjudicating cases for persons with disabilities.
3. Perma Number 3 of 2025: Guidelines for handling criminal cases in the taxation sector.
4. Perma Number 4 of 2025: Procedures for adjudicating OJK lawsuits as an effort to protect consumers.
5. Perma Number 5 of 2025: Procurement of first level court judges.
“The issuance of this Perma is proof of our commitment to filling legal gaps and strengthening administrative procedures to protect the rights of the community, especially vulnerable groups and consumers,” said the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Readiness to Implement the New Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Code
Apart from internal regulations, the Supreme Court pays special attention to national criminal law reform.
As the new Criminal Code (UU 1/2023) and KUHAP (UU 20/2025) come into effect on January 2 2026, the Supreme Court is moving quickly to strengthen cooperation across ministries and institutions.
In order to provide operational guidance for judges in the field, the Supreme Court has issued Supreme Court Circular Letter (SEMA) Number 1 of 2026 concerning Implementation Guidelines for the 2023 Criminal Code and 2025 Criminal Procedure Code as quoted on the Supreme Court’s JDIH page.
