Abstract

Objective: This study aims to understand the interpretation of the phrase 'demeaning' in the Article on Insulting the President and Vice President in Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP).

Methodology/Approach/Design: This research is a non-doctrinal legal study using a socio-legal method, which conceptualizes law as symbolic meanings. The interpretation process of the Article on Insulting the President and Vice President in the Criminal Code is conducted through a paradigmatic review that presents an ontological, epistemological, and methodological understanding in a stratified, sequential, and relational manner.

Results and Discussion: The findings reveal that the existence of the Article on Insulting the President and Vice President holds the nature of Primus Interpares, and insult is considered a disgraceful act. The phrase 'demeaning' is interpreted as an action with negative connotations intended to degrade or attack a person's dignity so that freedom of speech and expression cannot be criminalized under the article on insulting the president.

Practical Implications: This research has implications for the practical reading and interpretation of the Article on Insulting the President and Vice President in the Criminal Code, especially when judges and/or other law enforcement officials engage in interpreting and handling cases related to this article.

Novelty/Value: This study offers novelty by presenting a subtle, sharp, and systematic analysis through a paradigmatic review and socio-legal method to explore the symbolic meanings embedded in the intentionality of each party interpreting the article.
