Abstract
The new Criminal Code released in Indonesia in early 2023 is intended to free the country's legal system of lingering colonial heritages. However, the Code has also stirred controversy because of its criminalization of certain sexual behaviors not previously subject to legal penalty. In this report I review the major features of the new Criminal Code, and explore their implications for human rights and sexual freedoms.
