Legal Politics Dynamics of Law Number 5 of 2023 Ratification of the Indonesia-Singapore Extradition Treaty

The extradition agreement between the Republic of Indonesia and the Republic of Singapore, signed in Bintan, Riau Islands, on January 25, 2022, was ratified through Law Number 5 of 2023 concerning the Ratification of the Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and the Government of the Republic of Singapore on the Extradition of Fugitives. This ratification represents a continuation of earlier bilateral commitments and aims to strengthen legal cooperation by ensuring that individuals who commit criminal offenses and subsequently flee to Singapore can be prosecuted in accordance with the laws of both countries. The enactment of this law reflects a complex legal-political process shaped by national interests, evolving bilateral relations, and increasing public pressure to enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement, particularly in addressing transnational crime. This study examines the philosophical, sociological, and juridical underlying the enactment of the Extradition Treaty Law. Employing a normative legal research approach, the study is descriptive in nature and is based on library research. It relies on secondary data, primary legal materials in the form of legislation and regulations, and tertiary legal materials such as legal dictionaries. The data are analyzed qualitatively using an analytical and systematic perspective.Keywords: Legal politics, Agreement, Extradition.
