Keywords:
Customary Law Law, Article 2, Legal ImplementationAbstract
The ratification of Law No. 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code (New Criminal Code) introduces
Article 2 which promises better legal protection for indigenous peoples—considering that as a multicultural
society, Indonesia has various forms of customary rules that are certainly different from national laws. However,
this article also presents significant interpretive challenges. This research aims to explore the meaning of Article
2 in the context of customary law, focusing on its implementation and application in Indonesia. Using a case
study and critical analysis approach, this article explores the various interpretations and impacts of Article 2 on
the recognition of indigenous peoples' rights and environmental sustainability. The findings of this study provide
in-depth insight into the dynamics of customary law in the changes in new laws and regulations in Indonesia.
