Abstract

An important feature of a legal system is the prosecution of crime by the public prosecutor, who is the main advocate of applying the law according to social norms. In carrying out its strategic role, it turns out that there are several practical problems related to its capacity and ability to carry out functions in accordance with the principles adopted in the rule of law. Not only does this matter for technical expertise, knowledge, and implementation of the law, but also for the integrity of a public prosecutor. However, integrity does not only refer to law enforcement that emphasizes legal aspects, but to morality and upholding norms that govern society. This paper explains that these morals and rules are actually contained in Pancasila as the source of all sources of law in the Indonesian rule of law. Therefore, to build the integrity of the Public Prosecutor, it is necessary to prioritize the role of Pancasila in order to realize justice that is not only legal justice, but also justice that respects human equality. Law enforcement must reflect the values of virtue in society, so things that pollute it must also be removed. To enforce the law appropriately, it must comply with what society expects from laws, and it must have to be fair because justice is the fundamental goal of all laws.
