This research aims to examine the reconstruction of Indonesia’s criminal justice system by integrating Pancasila values as the philosophical and moral foundation of national law. The current paradigm of Indonesian criminal law, rooted in the civil law system, is predominantly positivistic, viewing law merely as written norms detached from moral values and social justice. As a result, the application of law often loses its humanitarian dimension. This study employs a normative legal research method, drawing on statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, as well as qualitative analysis of relevant primary and secondary legal materials. The first finding reveals an urgent need to shift from a positivist to a Pancasila legal paradigm—one that is more humanistic, dynamic, and substantively just. This paradigm shift is essential to harmonize legal certainty, utility, and justice as an integrated triad of national legal values. The second finding underscores the importance of reconstructing the criminal justice system by adopting a restorative justice model grounded in humanitarian and social justice values. This model places the restoration of social relationships, the offender’s accountability, and the victim’s participation at the core of Pancasila-based criminal justice. The scientific contribution of this research lies in its conceptual synthesis of legal positivism and substantive justice, grounded in the Pancasila legal paradigm, as a foundation for reforming Indonesia’s national criminal law.
