Diplomatic Challenges Delay Execution of 300 Death Row Inmates in Indonesia
The repatriation of Atlaoui was not a simple matter. France had to recognize the Indonesian court’s decision, acknowledging that he was indeed sentenced to death under Indonesian law. However, once transferred back to France, the responsibility for his rehabilitation and custody would be handed over to the French authorities, who may decide to grant him clemency.
While the death penalty remains a legal and controversial issue in Indonesia, the country has taken steps to address it in a manner that considers both domestic laws and international relations. The recent developments demonstrate Indonesia’s cautious approach to balancing justice with diplomacy.
As Indonesia grapples with these challenges, the case of Serge Areski Atlaoui underscores the delicate nature of death penalty cases, which often involve international cooperation and complex negotiations between countries. This incident highlights how diplomatic ties and the protection of nationals play a significant role in the enforcement of death sentences. (Uki Ruknuddin)
