Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of existing statutory and organic regulations in addressing sexual violence, to examine the role of law enforcement officers in ensuring legal certainty for victims, and to assess the extent to which Pancasila values are integrated into the enforcement process. The research employs a normative juridical approach combined with a conceptual and statutory analysis, supported by secondary data from legislation, legal literature, and official reports related to sexual violence cases in Indonesia. The findings indicate that the enforcement of laws related to sexual violence has not been carried out optimally, primarily due to inconsistent interpretations of regulations, limited understanding of Pancasila-based legal values, and weaknesses in investigative and evidentiary processes. Organic regulations applied by law enforcement authorities have not yet provided adequate legal certainty or comprehensive protection for victims.
