Abstract

The main requirements in proving a criminal case must be based on valid evidence according to law and the judge's conviction on deciding a case. In the practice of the criminal justice system, there is often a lack of accuracy by judges in deciding a case, so unclear cases are still decided guilty by judges. That was only the accused's statement that proved the criminal act. What is the regulation regarding the minimum limit for proving a crime as a strength of the accused's statement as evidence of a crime in terms of the unus testis nullus testis? The imposition of decisions for perpetrators of criminal acts is regulated in Article 183 of the Criminal Procedure Code. However, there is no minimum limit for judges to consider proving a crime. Based on Article 189 (4) of the Criminal Procedure Code, the accused's statement is insufficient to prove a crime. This is because the interpretation of the article could be more precise. However, in practice, the accused's testimony has been used as the only evidence in deciding the accused's guilt in a criminal case in an Indonesian court. So, a minimum limit is needed in proving a criminal case. Criminal law as an ultimum remedium is not used arbitrarily by law enforcers and guarantees the protection of citizens' human rights as the goal of criminal law.
论刑事证据最低限度在法庭上实施无证不为原则的重要性
刑事案件举证的主要条件必须是依法有有效证据和法官审案时的认定。在刑事司法制度的实践中,法官对案件的判决往往缺乏准确性,因此不明确的案件仍然被法官判有罪。只有被告的陈述证明了犯罪行为。就“无证据不为罪”而言,以被告人供述作为犯罪证据的力量证明犯罪的最低限度有何规定?《刑事诉讼法》第183条规定了对犯罪行为人的判决。然而,法官考虑证明犯罪并没有最低限度。根据《刑事诉讼法》第189(4)条,被告的陈述不足以证明犯罪。这是因为这篇文章的解释可以更精确。然而,在实践中,在印度尼西亚法院的刑事案件中,被告的证词被用作判定被告有罪的唯一证据。所以,证明一个刑事案件需要一个最低限度。刑法作为最后手段,不被执法者任意使用,保障公民人权的保护是刑法的目标。
