problem of the uncertainty of the waiting period and the assumption that it does not provide 
a deterrent effect is a problem that interferes with the sense of justice and legal certainty in 
Indonesia. The conditional death penalty is also not regulated in the current criminal law 
in Indonesia, and the regulation of capital punishment in the future Indonesian RKUHP 
will take the "middle way" or the so-called "Indonesian Way" between the retentionist and 
abolitionist state groups. The conditional death penalty is imposed using the principle of 
balance as a limit of tolerance and legitimacy (margin of appreciation and legitimacy), 
which originates from the Pancasila ideology, the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of 
Indonesia, Human Rights & Human Obligations and general legal principles recognized 
by civilized nations. . The imposition of a conditional death penalty is in accordance with 
the principle of due process of law and to avoid extrajudicial killing, summary execution, 
and killing without trial, which are gross violations of human rights. Then there is still a 
need for guidelines for imposing the death penalty for judges, with an alternative to life 
imprisonment or 20 years in prison. Regarding the total abolition of the death penalty, it is 
very difficult  to  do in  Indonesia, because  its existence  is inseparable  from  the  social, 
cultural, and religious values of each nation as well as from the history of the nation itself.
