Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI) has obligation as national defensive instrument to
preserve national sovereignty and integrity, protect the honor and welfare of the
nation, act on the military operation apart from war, as well as maintain the regional
and international conciliation. Therefore, the members of this constituted are
expected to be good exemplar in the public. However, in reality, the improper
behavior is frequently committed by the militaries and this has violated the law cited
in KUHP article 281. Martial court’s judges, as the decision maker, have own
deliberation especially for the military member who has taken the immoral action
because the action has devastated the image of TNI in the society.
