Abstract

Indonesia is a constitutional state that upholds the protection of human rights as mandated by the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. At the same time, the Constitution recognizes the existence of customary law communities along with their traditional rights as long as they remain alive and are consistent with societal development and the principles of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Consequently, the implementation of customary law must remain consistent with human rights principles. One form of customary sanction still applied in Balinese customary communities is kasepekang, namely social exclusion or revocation of customary rights imposed upon community members who violate customary regulations (awig-awig).This study aims to analyze the legal position of kasepekang sanctions within the Balinese customary legal system and their recognition under Indonesian national law, as well as to examine the conflict between the implementation of kasepekang sanctions and human rights principles. This research employs normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The legal materials consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources analyzed qualitatively.The study concludes that the constitutional recognition of customary sanctions is guaranteed under Article 18B paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution and Bali Provincial Regulation Number 4 of 2019 concerning Customary Villages. Nevertheless, the implementation of customary sanctions must not violate constitutional rights guaranteed under Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights. Sanctions resulting in discrimination, social exclusion, restrictions on religious freedom, denial of customary services, and unequal treatment before the law constitute violations of human rights principles. Therefore, harmonization between customary law and human rights protection is necessary through strengthening fair customary dispute resolution mechanisms.
