- Abstract
National and state life should follow religious norms, moral norms, decency norms, and legal norms. In social life, especially where interaction between humans and expressing opinions is the right of everyone that cannot be limited by anyone. However, in its development, the rights of speech and expression also need to be limited in order to protect the rights of others to their honor and to protect public order from incitement. Indonesia as a state of law participates in protecting the right to honor by limiting speech that may cause people to lose their honor and also maintain public order. However, in a positive law, the legislators are still unable to formulate concrete criminal provisions against criminal acts of insult and hate speech, especially in Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions as amended by Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning Amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions. With this, the legal objectives of certainty, justice, and legal benefits are not fully implemented. Therefore, the writing of this paper will focus on guidelines for handling and criminal provisions for criminal acts of insult and hate speech in Indonesia.
