[ABSTRAKKetentuan mengenai penghinaan terhadap Presiden dan Wakil Presiden diatur dalam pasal 134, 136bis, dan pasal 137 KUHP. Pasal ini muncul sebagai adopsi dari pasal penghinaan terhadap Raja dan Ratu Belanda yang turut diberlakukan di Indonesia pada era sebelum kemerdekaan berdasarkan asas konkordansi. Setelah kemerdekaan, ketentuan tersebut dipertahankan namun dengan penyesuaian berupa perubahan pada frasa "Raja" dan "Ratu" menjadi "Presiden" dan "Wakil Presiden". Sejak periode rezim pemerintahan Soeharto, ketentuan tersebut, khususnya pasal 134 KUHP banyak digunakan untuk mengkriminalisasi ungkapan, tulisan, atau perbuatan yang dinilai mencemarkan nama baik Presiden dan Wakil Presiden. Ketiadaan parameter untuk mengidentifikasi rasa keterhinaan menyebabkan unsur menghina dimaknai secara kabur oleh para hakim yang mengacu pada politik hukum pidana masing-masing rezim tanpa mempertimbangkan situasi kebatinan yang ada. Adanya potensi kelenturan pemaknaan pasal yang bisa melanggar kebebasan berekspresi mendorong adanya pencabutan pasal penghinaan terhadap Presiden dan Wakil Presiden oleh Mahkamah Konstitusi. Skripsi ini berusaha membuktikan kecenderungan pemaknaan pasal 134 KUHP secara luas melalui analisis terhadap putusan pengadilan, ditunjang dengan dokumen-dokumen sejarah yang ada, di samping membandingkan keberadaan ketentuan tersebut dengan ketentuan serupa di beberapa negara lain.
ABSTRACT;Defamation towards President and Vice President of Republic ofIndonesia is regulated in Article 134, 136bis, and article 137 Indonesian PenalCode. These articles were adopted from the originals regulating defamationtowards King and Queen of Dutch Monarch, which was enforced in Indonesia inpre-independence period upon concordance basis. After the independence, thosearticles were maintained after getting through a conformation?replacement of?King? and ?Queen? phrases with ?President? and ?Vice President?. Since theSoeharto era, those articles, especially article 134, were regularly used tocriminalize oral or written expression, and also dissent behavior which werevalued as insulting and jeopardizing the image of President or Vice President. Theabsence of parameter to identify the feeling of being insulted caused the obscureinterpretation of the ?defaming? aspect in article 134. The judges gave theinterpretation in the compliance with the politics of criminal law of each regime,neglecting the ongoing social situation. The possibility of interpreting the lawwidely could result on the abuse of freedom of expression, and according to it,Constitutional Court of Republic of Indonesia decided those existing laws ondefamation towards President and Vice President were void. This thesis aims toprove the flexibility in interpreting the law, through analyzing court decisionssupported with studies on historical documents regarding defamation towards thehead of the State. This thesis also compared the law of defamation, especiallydefamation towards the President and Vice President in Indonesia with other countries., Defamation towards President and Vice President of Republic ofIndonesia is regulated in Article 134, 136bis, and article 137 Indonesian PenalCode.
