Abstract

In early 2018 the Aceh Government through the Office of the Islamic Sharia in Aceh proclaimed the application of the beheading (qishash) law to the perpetrators of the murderous crime through the addition of the murder Jarimah (the prohibited act in Qanun) of the beheading law uqubat in Qanun on Jinayat. This application is claimed to be able to suppress the crime rate, especially the killings crime that occurrs in Aceh. This research describes the problem on how constitutionality and future arrangement of uqubat qisash (law of beheading) in Aceh’s qanun about Jinayat could be applied. The method used in this research is legal juridical, normative research method or doctrinal law research. The result of the research shows that the application of qisash uqubat in Aceh Province qanun jinayat in the future is a necessity, for: 1. the provision of Article 18B of the 1945 Constitution of Aceh Provincial Government gets the recognition and respect as a special regional government units; 2. The provisions of Law Number 11 Year 2006 also authorizes the Provincial Government of Aceh to establish a Qanun on Jinayat that may contain crime penalties as provided in the provisions of Article 241 paragraph (1) and paragraph (2) of Law Number 11 Year 2006; 3. Law Number 11 Year 2006 does not impose limits on crime threat material contained in a Qanun jinayah either.
