Abstract

Indonesia is a country of law, so all citizens and law enforcement officials are supposed to maintain the integrity and order of law in Indonesia. Effective law enforcement is one of the main pillars in maintaining justice and the supremacy of law in Indonesia. However, violations of the code of ethics by law enforcement officials, including judges, often undermine the integrity and credibility of the justice system. This article describes the legal basis for the profession of judges who have three judicial powers, namely the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Court and the Judicial Commission as law enforcement officers, the basis for the provisions of the code of ethics in the professionalism of judges, the causes and reasons for violations of the judicial code of ethics, as well as state accountability efforts in dealing with the violation. There are three levels of sanctions that can be imposed on judges who violate the code of ethics and institutions such as the Judicial Commission have an important role in monitoring and handling these violations. However, greater efforts are still needed to increase awareness of the code of ethics and standards of behavior expected of judges through training and capacity building. Awareness of the importance of the integrity and credibility of the judicial system must be maintained consistently to achieve the main goal of fair and just law enforcement. This writing uses normative juridical research methods by identifying the legal rules that regulate professional judges, including their qualifications, obligations, rights and responsibilities.
