Summary of Domestic Prohibition

Slavery and Slave Trade
Practices Similar to Slavery
Servitude
Forced or Compulsory Labour
Human Trafficking
Provisions related to slavery are found in the Constitution article 28I which recognises freedom from enslavement as a right which cannot be limited in any circumstances, and the Penal Code which prohibits dealing in slaves, or committing any act dealing in slaves, at section 324. Slavery may also form an element of an offence of trafficking under Law 21 of 2007 on combating trafficking.
There appears to be no legislation in place in Indonesia which prohibits institutions and practices similar to slavery, although adoption through the promise of consideration for the purpose of exploitation is criminalised under article 5 of Law 21. Debt bondage for the purpose of exploitation and practices similar to slavery may also form elements of an offence of trafficking under Law 21 of 2007.
There appears to be no legislation in place in Indonesia which prohibits servitude, although servitude may form an element of an offence of trafficking under Law 21 of 2007.
There appears to be no legislation in place in Indonesia which prohibits forced labour although Article 27(2) of the Constitution recognises the right to work and to ‘earn a humane livelihood’ and forced labour or services may form an element of the offence of trafficking under Law 21 of 2007.
Provisions related to trafficking in persons are found in Law 21 of 2007 which criminalises trafficking under article 2.
