Military justice is one of the recognized judicial environments in the Indonesian legal system based on the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The existence of military justice raises its own and fundamental problems related to the authority to prosecute soldiers of the Indonesian National Army (TNI) who commit general criminal acts. This article aims to analyze juridically normatively the authority of military justice, procedural procedures, and legal implications caused when military members are faced with general criminal offenses. This research uses normative legal research methods with a legislative approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the study show that Indonesia's military judicial system has special characteristics that distinguish it from general justice, including in terms of legal subjects, absolute and relative competencies, and procedural procedures. Found a number of fundamental problems related to the independence of military judges, the guarantee of the rights of the defendants, and the effectiveness of law enforcement against TNI members who commit general criminal acts. This article recommends the need for a comprehensive reform of Indonesia's military judicial system to be in line with the principles of the rule of law, human rights, and the renewal of the national judicial system.
