Indonesia as part of a civilized countries has an obligation to recognize and promote the interests of protecting and fulfilling human rights for its citizens. Human rights consist of many aspects, one of which is human rights in the field of citizens' access to justice through the participation of the community in the world of justice both as reporters, victims, suspects and defendants. The purpose of this research is whether there are parts of the Indonesian criminal justice system that have not shown respect for human rights. Research is carried out through empirical research using observation and library research using national and international legal data sources. The discussion in this article is carried out deductively to obtain a thorough explanation of the issues to be discussed. What is obtained from the results of this research is that the Indonesian criminal justice system still does not fully respect the implementation of human rights for suspects, defendants and victims. Legal certainty is still prioritized over justice itself. Judges as one of the main actors in the Indonesian criminal justice system are given the obligation to respect and maintain respect for and fulfillment of human rights in order to achieve justice from the criminal justice process. The judge must be able to find gaps in human rights violations committed by other Indonesian criminal justice system officials and then the judge must try to overcome them according to the knowledge he has.
