Juridical Analysis of the Role and Position of the Young Attorney General for Military Criminal Affairs in Connection Cases

The Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Indonesia carries out state prosecutorial powers as regulated in Law
Number 16 of 2004 which has been amended by Law Number 11 of 2021 concerning the Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of
Indonesia (UU Prosecutor's Office). The Supreme Prosecutor's position is as the Highest Public Prosecutor (dominus litis). This is
also reflected in the Elucidation of Article 57 paragraph (1) of Law Number 31 of 1997 concerning Military Justice which explains
that the Prosecutor General in carrying out prosecutions within the military justice environment is responsible to the Attorney
General as dominus litis. However, in practice, prosecutors often do not report the implementation of the prosecution of military
criminal cases they handle to the Attorney General, so that unified implementation of the one-roof prosecution policy (one-roof
system) has not been achieved. Reflecting on the various circumstances above, a Junior Attorney General for Military Crimes was
formed in the organizational structure of the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia. Based on this description, the
formulation of the problem studied by the author is: 1) What is the role and position of the Deputy Attorney General for Military
Crimes in connectivity cases? 2) What are the implications of the presence of the Deputy Attorney General for Military Crimes in
connection cases? The research method used is normative juridical with descriptive research. The data collection technique used is
document study as the main data. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that Attorney General for Military Crimes has
the role of supporting the Attorney General in carrying out the duties and authority of the Prosecutor's Office in the field of technical
coordination of prosecutions carried out by the judiciary and handling connection cases. The presence of Attorney General for
Military Crimes has implications for efforts to eradicate issues of disparity and dualism in prosecution as well as striving for
effectiveness, efficiency and transparency in the process of handling connectivity cases.
