Abstract: The spirit
of fighting corruption
in Indonesia based
on the spirit
of the Declaration
of the 8th International Conference
against Corruption and
Indonesia United Nations
Convention against Corruption
(UNCAC) UN 58/ 4 dated October 31, 2003, and Law No. 7 of 2006 on the
Ratification of the UN Convention on
Anti-Corruption of 2003 and Act
No. 20 of 2001. The implementation of the Law
on Corruption tends
not optimal. As
a new breakthrough
reached the imposition
of criminal sanctions in
the form of
revocation of political
rights for the
accused of corruption.
Although in practice the
criminal is considered
unconstitutional. Given the
enormous impact of
corruption, namely the loss suffered by the people and the state, the
current criminal disenfranchisement for perpetrators of political corruption
has been duly applied.
