COMMISSION AND BOARD REPORTS

RECOGNITION AND SPECIAL GUESTS

LinkUS/COTA Update: Kelsey Ellingsen with COTA spoke about the LinkUS initiative, which is a comprehensive transportation plan for central Ohio to address growth, affordability, and opportunity gaps in the region. With the anticipated population growth over the next 20+ years, COTA is working to plan for the future of public transit in Columbus and the surrounding area which includes new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) routes, more service hours for existing COTA bus routes, bike and pedestrian paths, and walkable communities. COTA is currently in the planning phases for BRT routes along West Broad, East Main, and the "Northwest Corridor" which includes Olentangy River Road, Bethel, Sawmill, and State Route 161.
These plans represent a very large investment to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. While federal grants have been made widely available for these types of projects, COTA will also be asking for a sales tax increase of 0.5% this November to help pay for the new infrastructure. This would bring the total sales tax in our area to 8%, with COTA's portion being a total 1% sales tax.
Councilwoman Cottone asked a question about the note that 30% of the jobs in Franklin County are along the Northwest Corridor route. Ellingsen answered that those numbers included Ohio State, Riverside Hospital, Dublin Methodist Hospital, and various employers in Dublin and downtown Columbus. Cottone asked about question about housing and job growth in a comparable plan implemented in Cleveland. The development growth in Cleveland was more mixed-use and dense around transit stations.
Councilman Carrier pushed back on the sales tax increase, noting the Hilliard residents would be contributing a higher tax rate and not getting a transit route in our community. A COTA representative answered that they would be considering the return of a (standard) bus route from OSU to Hilliard, and that they were analyzing an increase in frequency on the existing Cemetery Road route as well as the "Rails-to-Trails" improvement along the Heritage Trail.

The video replay cut out for the first few minutes of the meeting so I wasn't able to capture everything that was said during the Invocation or Commission and Board Reports.

REGULAR MEETING

INVOCATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

The invocation was led by Councilwoman Cole and the pledge of allegiance was said by all members.

COMMISSION AND BOARD REPORTS

RECOGNITION AND SPECIAL GUESTS

Mr. Gill presented the 2024-2050 Draft Metropolitan Transportation Plan on behalf of the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission. He noted that the population in central Ohio is expected to grow to over 3 million people by 2050, up from 2.4 million people today, and that residential and job density is expected to increase as a result. Demographics and transportation needs are expected to change as well, and MORPC hopes to enhance transportation planning using a mix of federal, state, and local financial assistance. In addition to providing safe mobility options, MORPC want's to create sustainable neighborhoods that protect natural resources and reduce energy consumption.
Mr. Gill spoke about the current LinkUS initiative and explained that they are currently planning for bus rapid transit corridors along West Broad Street, East Main Street, and along Olentangy River Road to Bethel Road and Sawmill Road. They are studying future routes to the airport and between south Columbus and downtown Columbus, and have plans for transit improvements along East Broad and Cleveland Avenue. MORPC desires to study potential connectivity between Hilliard and downtown Columbus which could include some combination of (1) the planned expansion of the Heritage Rail Trail and future connectivity to the (paused) expansion of the Scioto trail, (2) inter-city passenger rail service (Amtrak), or (3) expanded and enhanced COTA bus service.
Mr. Gill said that MORPC was in the process of presenting this information to municipalities across central Ohio and is looking for public comment on the draft plan before its potential adoption in May.
Councilman Carrier asked about how much money would be going into studying transit to/from Hilliard, and noted that Hilliard has always seemed to receive less than other communities in the region (Dublin, Grove City, etc.) and had more gaps to fill when it came to transportation. Mr. Gill was unable to give a clear dollar amount. City Manager Crandall mentioned that Hilliard did receive some federal dollars through MORPC to complete the bike/pedestrian bridge over I-270 which will link Hilliard to Mill Run.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Mr. Genter's three-minute time limit was reached and Vermillion attempted to move on with the business portion of the meeting. Hale said that others were given additional time to finish their thoughts, and that he should be given the same. There was a small outcry of disagreement from the audience. Vermillion said that she tried to stop everyone close to 30 seconds after the timer went off, and she heard Mr. Genter pause at the buzzer. Hale suggested that Mr. Genter was being polite by pausing unlike the other speakers, and was now not being allowed to finish because of it. Hale moved to give Mr. Genter another 15 seconds to speak, seconded by Carrier. On the Hale motion: Three in favor (Hale, Carrier, Betts), four against (Cole, Vermillion, Cottone, Teater). Motion failed. As people exited the chamber before the business portion started, there was a slight back-and-forth between Hale and Vermilliion with a suggestion to talk about it later.

2022.12.02 14:32 Affectionate_Cat293 Explaining Criminalisation of Zina and LGBT in Indonesia

There is a lot of questions raised about the new Indonesian Criminal Code. Here I want to focus on two issues that often appear in the media (and in public discourse): criminalisation of zina and LGBT. In fact, some international headlines only focus on these aspects, like this or this. In this post, I just want to give some context as to why the DPR spends so much time mulling a new criminal code and discussing these issues.
Context: New Criminal Code?
Before we discuss the two issues, some people here might ask: why do we need a new criminal code?
The most commonly cited reason is that the current criminal code is directly inherited from the Wetboek van Strafrecht voor Nederlands-Indië. Article II of the Transitional Provisions of the 1945 Constitution says: "All existing laws and regulations shall remain in effect as long as new laws and regulations have not yet taken effect under this Constitution." And then you have UU No 1 Tahun 1946, which says:
Pasal 1: "Dengan menyimpang seperlunya dari Peraturan Presiden Republik Indonesia tertanggal 10 Oktober 1945 No. 2, menetapkan, bahwa peraturan-peraturan hukum pidana yang sekarang berlaku, ialah peraturan-peraturan hukum pidana yang ada pada tanggal 8 Maret 1942."
Pasal 3: "Jikalau di dalam sesuatu peraturan hukum pidana ditulis dengan perkataan "Nederlandsch-Indie" atau "NederlandschIndisch(e) (en)", maka perkataan-perkataan itu harus dibaca "Indonesie" atau "Indonesishc(e) (en)".
This law, however, was really problematic because of the following reason:
“(…) the law did not translate all articles in the criminal code into the Indonesian language. Since then, no official translation of the criminal code has been enacted by the government and judicial institutions have had to rely on various translations published by Indonesian legal scholars. Because of this, the role of criminal law lecturers as expert witnesses in trials has been influential in helping judges to interpret the element of the crimes stipulated in the code.”
Since then, some provisions have been added/amended. For example, Penetapan Presiden RI No. 1 Tahun 1965 added the crime of blasphemy.
That's why many academics and politicians believe that after 77 years of independence, Indonesia really needs to adopt its own criminal code as soon as possible, a criminal code which reflects the values and norms of Indonesia. Examples:
Wamenkumham Tegaskan RKUHP untuk Hilangkan Nuansa Hukum Kolonial
Dosen Fakultas Hukum Universitas Jember, I Gede Widhiana Suarda, menjelaskan, penyusunan RUU KUHP telah melewati perjalanan yang panjang. Satu tahun terakhir ini, kata dia, RUU KUHP menjadi salah satu prioritas legislasi yang dapat disahkan di tahun 2022. "Alasan diperlukannya KUHP baru bahwasannya kalau bangsa sudah merdeka, maka secara politis dia juga harus merdeka dalam berhukum," ujarnya.
Zina and LGBT in the old/current Criminal Code
The old/current Criminal Code from the Dutch era does not criminalise consensual sex between unmarried adults, including homosexual sex. It does criminalise adultery under Article 284:
(1) By a maximum imprisonment of nine months shall be punished:
a. any married man who, knowing that Article 27 of the Civil Code is applicable to him, commits adultery;
b. any married woman who commits adultery;
  1. a. any man who takes a direct part in the act knowing that the guilty co-partner is married;
b. any unmarried woman who takes a direct part in the act knowing that the guilty copartner is married and that Article 27 of the Civil Code is applicable to him.
(2) No prosecution shall be instituted unless by complaint of the insulted spouse, followed, if to the spouse Article 27 of the Civil Code is applicable, within the time of three months by a demand for divorce or severance from board and bed on the ground of the same act
Article 284(2) is very important, because this is a delik aduan, which means that the police cannot just go to people’s houses to find adulterers; there needs to be a complaint from someone who is legally competent to do so, in this case only the spouse can initiate a case. Here is a good summary from Hukumonline:
delik aduan artinya delik yang hanya bisa diproses apabila ada pengaduan atau laporan dari orang yang menjadi korban tindak pidana. Menurut Mr. Drs. E Utrecht dalam bukunya Hukum Pidana II, dalam delik aduan penuntutan terhadap delik tersebut digantungkan pada persetujuan dari yang dirugikan (korban). Pada delik aduan ini, korban tindak pidana dapat mencabut laporannya kepada pihak yang berwenang apabila di antara mereka telah terjadi suatu perdamaian.
Also interesting to note is that this article is inherited from the Dutch. The Dutch East Indies Criminal Code criminalised overspel (adultery). Here is a summary from the ICJR:
"Sejauh menyangkut gendak (overspel-adultery), pria yang telah menikah dipersamakan dengan perempuan menikah; - pasangan tidak menikah, dengan siapa dilakukan tindak pidana; seketika Ia mengetahui status perkawinan pasangannya (turut bersalah), dikategorikan sebagai pelaku peerta (mededader). Gendak tetap merupakan delik aduan, namun rancangan tidak mengatur ihwal kewenangan pasangan yang tersinggung (merasa dirugikan) untuk menghentikan proses pidana; termasuk juga ihwal pembatasan alat-alat bukti (Pasal. 337-338 Code Pénal)."
Also an important detail: while adultery is a form of zina, zina has a much broader scope. Zina, or “unlawful sexual conduct”, also includes sex between unmarried men and women.
While homosexual sex is not criminalised, Article 292 prohibits “any obscene act with it minor of the same sex whose minority he knows or reasonably should presume”, with the threat of “maximum imprisonment of five years.” This was also inherited from the Dutch East Indies Criminal Code.
As a note, there is a debate in the fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) as to whether liwat (sodomy) is a form of zina or is a separate crime, the answer depends on the school of jurisprudence you follow (some uses analogy to say that liwat is zina). This Wikipedia article has a good summary:
According to sharia law, liwat (anal intercourse) and sihaq or musahiqa (tribadism) are considered sins or criminal offenses. The Sunni Hanafi school, unlike other Islamic schools and branches, rejects analogy as a principle of jurisprudence. Since there is no explicit call for the punishment of homosexuals in the accepted statements of Muhammed, Hanafi jurists classified homosexuality as a sin rather than a crime according to religious law and tazir offense whose punishment is left to the discretion of secular rulers. According to the Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali (Sunni), and Ja'afari (Shia) schools any penetrative sex outside of marriage or a man with his female slave is zina, a more serious crime. Zina is punishable by lashes or death by stoning; whether the death penalty is allowed depends on the school, whether the man has been married, and whether he is the active or passive partner. However, in order to apply the death penalty it requires a confession, repeated four times by the accused, or testimony by four witnesses. All Sunni schools, but not the Shia Ja'afari, consider non-anal sex between men to be a tazir offense.
Aliansi Cinta Keluarga and Conservative Judicial Activism
On 19 April 2016, Aliansi Cinta Keluarga/Love Family Alliance (whose members are conservative Muslim academics), led by a professor of “family defence and advocacy” at the IPB Euis Sunarti, filed a petition to the Indonesian Constitutional Court. They claimed that Articles 284 and 292 of the Criminal Code are unconstitutional. They said that these articles failed to criminalise zina in general and homosexual sex, which they believe are prohibited by religious morality, so the Court should expand the scope of these laws. Cleverly enough, they also petitioned Article 285, which says “Any person who by using force or threat of force forces a woman to have sexual intercourse with him out of marriage, shall, being guilty of rape, shall be punished with a maximum imprisonment of twelve years.” They said that this article failed to criminalise rape against male victims, so they also asked the Court to expand the scope of this article. I’m pretty sure redditors here agree that rape against male victims should be criminalised. This case eventually became the longest case in the history of the MK, as it took the Court more than a year and a half to decide on it.
In December 2017, the MK rejected the petition in a 5 to 4 vote. Here is the full judgment, and here is a summary:
“In this case the Constitutional Court did not make a bold interpretation that stated if the attempt to criminalize LGBT as unconstitutional, they only stating that the legislature rather than the Constitutional Court was the proper institution to expand the scope of criminal law, so the claimant aspiration should be channeled to the drafting process of the new criminal code which at that time is taken by the government and the legislature.”
It was a really close call because it was clear Patrialis Akbar was going to side with Teteh Euis Sunarti:
In the latest hearing of a judicial review of the Criminal Code, which is aimed at outlawing casual sex, justice Patrialis Akbar concurred with three expert witnesses presented by the plaintiffs, who argued that Indonesia’s legal system was “too liberal”.
“Our freedom is limited by moralistic values as well as religious values. This is what the declaration of human rights doesn’t have. It’s totally different [from our concept of human rights] because we’re not a secular country, this country acknowledges religion,” he said.
Patrialis, a former National Mandate Party (PAN) politician, asked the experts whether or not all laws in Indonesia should accommodate religious norms.
“If the principles that have been comprehensively explained [by the expert witnesses] are not enforced in the existing law in this country, would this country be a secular country where religion no longer needed to be respected?” After asking the question, Patrialis pointed out that the Constitutional Court was an institution that was “guided by the light of God”.
He was eventually arrested for bribery:
"Saya ingin mengatakan, demi Allah sampai ke Arsy, saya bertanggung jawab, tidak pernah satu rupiah pun saya terima uang dari Basuki dan Fenny," ujar Patrialis.
Well, eventually it turned out that he received 10,000 USD instead.
His replacement, a professor of law from Andalas University West Sumatra, Saldi Isra, voted against AILA. Given where he is from, he received a degree of backlash because of this. Had Patrialis Akbar remained, you having a fun night with an FWB would be illegal (and without delik aduan!). Same with consensual homosexual sex.
What is interesting is the pendapat berbeda (dissenting opinion) that would have become the law had Patrialis Akbar not been so greedy. The dissenting opinion was written by the Chief Justice at that time, Arief Hidayat. I will just put here some excerpts (the official translation is kind of horrendous, but we have to live with it):
Pancasila is the source of all sources of the country’s law. The positioning of Pancasila as the source of all sources of the country’s law was in conformity with paragraph four of the Preamble of the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, namely Belief in One Almighty God, A Just and Civilized Humanity, a Unified Indonesia, Democracy Led by the Wisdom in a Consensus or Representatives, Social Justice for All Indonesians. The positioning of Pancasila as the basis and ideology of the country as well as basis of the state’s philosophy [means] all material contained in the Laws and Regulations should not contradict with the values contained in Pancasila.
In Pancasila, value of belief in God was read and interpreted as hierarchical. Value of Belief in God was the highest value because it related to an absolute value. (…)
In the context of Article 28J verse (2), the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia affirms its character and identity as a Godly Constitution, so it is clear that religious value and public order is given a position and function by constitution as one of the signs or guidelines that should be obeyed in establishing norm of Law so that, once there is a legal norm which reduces, confines, oversteps limitation, and/or in fact, contradicts with religious values, then it is that norm of Law that should be adjusted in order to be not contradictory with religious value and Godly teaching.
Regarding zina, they claimed:
Article 284 of the Indonesian Criminal Code which governs overspel offense, in principle, is very much influenced by the philosophy and paradigm of secular-hedonistic which becomes a hegemony of establishment of norm of law in Europe in the past, which is certainly, very different with the sociological condition of the people in this archipelago, both historically, long before the concordance of Wetboek Van Strafrecht was performed by the Dutch-Indie colonial government, or in the recent context in the Republic of Indonesia.
(…)
The paradigm and philosophy as aforementioned clearly confines, contradicts, and does not at all gives room for religious value, divine light, and the value of living law among Indonesian people who perceive that the despicability nature (verwijtbaarheid) of intercourse outside marriage since long time ago in this archipelago, is genuinely more extensive, which is also because that action contradicts the religious value and living law of the people in Indonesia, because according to religious value and living law that lives and develops among Indonesian people from then until now (minus Article 284 of the Indonesian Criminal Code), intercourse can only be performed between a man and a woman within a marriage relationship
(…)
It is also the same in any religious teaching which lives and develops in Indonesia, adultery is a very despicable action. In Islam religion, for example, there is a restriction norm from Allah SWT to men, which explicitly stated, “and do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way.” (Q.S. Al Isra: 32). In the teaching of Islam, the scope of despicability of adultery action clearly includes adultery and fornication, even if the weight of threat of law against both is different.
And for homosexuality:
Historically, stating objective element of “a minor of the same sex” in the article a quo is clearly a ‘win’ to homosexual people and some of the member of the Netherland’s Tweede Kamer that are affirmative toward homosexuality practice, while homosexual practice is clearly one of sexual behaviors which intrinsically, humanely, and universally is very condemnable according to religious law and Divine light as well as the living law among the people, and therefore we opined that the word “adult”, the phrase “minor”, and the phrase “whose minority he knows or reasonably should presume” in Article 292 of the Indonesian Criminal Code should be declared as contradictory against the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and does not have a binding legal force.
Overall, as summarised in this journal article, if the dissenting opinion had passed, it would have meant that all laws in Indonesia can be declared unconstitutional not only for contradicting religious values, but also if they fail to criminalise/prohibit acts that are deemed to be against religions. Interesting here is the effort to frame it as “acts prohibited by ALL religions and ALL customary laws of Indonesia”. As once criticised by this journal article:
Supposedly, the belief in One God is hypothesised as a pan-religious value in a way that has tacit approval from virtually all major religions. It is in that vein that ‘[the] national pro-sharia movements argue explicitly that Islamisation does not undermine national unity because the State ideology, the Pancasila, has monotheism as its first principle and that this concept is moral in nature.’[25] Additionally, the acceptance of belief in One God also underlies the romanticised static vision of Indonesian society. This simplistic vision strikes a chord with religious conservatives and, eventually, legitimises illiberal social values. In effect, religious constitutionalism takes private religiosity issues seriously.
New Criminal Code?
We all already know about the controversy over the new Criminal Code. In the most recent version, consensual homosexual sex will not be criminalised. The provision that was initially intended to criminalise LGBT has been watered down so much, so we can see it as a “compromise provision” that does not threaten consensual homosexual sex in private:
Pasal 418
(1) Setiap Orang yang melakukan perbuatan cabul terhadap orang lain yang berbeda atau sama jenis kelaminnya:
a. di depan umum, dipidana dengan pidana penjara paling lama 1 (satu) tahun 6 (enam) Bulan atau pidana denda paling banyak kategori III;
b. secara paksa dengan Kekerasan atau Ancaman Kekerasan, dipidana dengan pidana penjara paling lama 9 (sembilan) tahun; atau
c. yang dipublikasikan sebagai muatan Pornografi, dipidana dengan pidana penjara paling lama 9 (sembilan) tahun.
(2) Setiap Orang dengan Kekerasan atau Ancaman Kekerasan memaksa orang lain untuk melakukan perbuatan cabul terhadap dirinya, dipidana dengan pidana penjara paling lama 9 (sembilan) tahun.
So the remaining issue now is zina. The zina provision has also been watered down a lot:
Pasal 415
(1) Setiap Orang yang melakukan persetubuhan dengan orang yang bukan suami atau istrinya dipidana karena perzinaan dengan pidana penjara paling lama 1 (satu) tahun atau pidana denda paling banyak kategori II.
(2) Terhadap Tindak Pidana sebagaimana dimaksud pada ayat (1) tidak dilakukan penuntutan kecuali atas pengaduan: a. suami atau istri bagi orang yang terikat perkawinan; atau b. Orang Tua atau anaknya bagi orang yang tidak terikat perkawinan.
(3) Terhadap pengaduan sebagaimana dimaksud pada ayat (2) tidak berlaku ketentuan sebagaimana dimaksud dalam Pasal 25, Pasal 26, dan Pasal 30.
The same with the “kumpul kebo” provision:
Pasal 416
(1) Setiap Orang yang melakukan hidup bersama sebagai suami istri di luar perkawinan dipidana dengan pidana penjara paling lama 6 (enam) Bulan atau pidana denda paling banyak kategori II.
(2) Terhadap Tindak Pidana sebagaimana dimaksud pada ayat (1) tidak dilakukan penuntutan kecuali atas pengaduan: a. suami atau istri bagi orang yang terikat perkawinan; atau b. Orang Tua atau anaknya bagi orang yang tidak terikat perkawinan. (3) Terhadap pengaduan sebagaimana dimaksud pada ayat (2) tidak berlaku ketentuan Pasal 25, Pasal 26, dan Pasal 30. (4) Pengaduan dapat ditarik kembali selama pemeriksaan di sidang pengadilan belum dimulai
Notice the delik aduan provision there. Basically, the police cannot just go around the village to find “kegiatan-kegiatan yang meresahkan masyarakat”. There has to be a report from the husband/wife if one is married, OR from one of the parents/child for those who are unmarried. This is really watered down, because the previous version would have allowed the head of the village (kepala desa) to report cohabitating couples.
Conclusion
The DPR is facing pressures from different groups. Conservative Muslims insist that zina and LGBT are against all religions and customary laws, and must be criminalised. Liberals and human rights defenders criticise the lack of transparency in the drafting of the code and wanted provisions relating to zina and LGBT scrapped altogether. The DPR has to strike a compromise between all these groups, particularly as the world is watching. The watered-down versions do strike a balance. On the one hand, it symbolically recognises that most Indonesians believe zina and homosexuality are immoral (the fact that many Indonesians would happily indulge in “sinful acts” is another story). On the other hand, the provisions are written in such a way that their implementation are extremely difficult (thanks to delik aduan). As for the potential to incite people to “main hakim sendiri”, this has always happened regardless of the criminal code, like this one, and conservatives actually use the lack of criminalisation as a justification for their vigilante acts.
Are these symbolic provisions needed? You can judge yourself. But I want to highlight that while the lack of transparency has been criticised by liberals and human rights activists, this actually has a silver lining. If the process were fully transparent, which politician would go to the forefront to defend zina and LGBT, or be the one proposing the watering down of the provisions? Lack of transparency gives a room for maneuver, also for conservative Islamic politicians who want to strike a deal. Full transparency could mean a much more strict provision against zina and LGBT, as politicians could be incentivised to bolster their religious credentials. All in all, I hope this post could give a context why the DPR has to spend time discussing the potential criminalisation of zina and LGBT, and they are well aware of the potential repercussions if they go full Brunei or Uganda.
