Abstract

The law enforcement concerning the crime of human trafficking has not been implemented optimally regarding the less accommodation of court decision to the rights of the victim. The criminal imposition by judges does not adequately address the sense of justice for the victim, especially if there is no restitution of the perpetrators required in the victims' recovery process. The criminal case of human trafficking mostly causes the victim suffering from either material or immaterial losses. Victims need special attention and protection, mainly children who become victims of trafficking about their human rights. Legal protection of victims, including children, is one of the state's obligations in the recovery process and to realize the welfare of children. So far, the legislation gives more focus on accommodating the perpetrators' rights than the victims, and in the court examination, the victim usually only acts as a witness. Optimal fulfillment of the victims’ rights can be done by providing opportunities to victims in the criminal justice system that plays a role in the examination in court to convey considerations in determining the criminal, the number and form of restitution. Especially for children victims, it can be done with the role of the state in the recovery process, accommodating the role of the victims in the criminal justice system and renewing the restitution.
