Castration, Chemical, Human RightsAbstract
This research aims to determine international legal instruments in chemical castration cases and
seen from a criminal and health perspective. This research is a norative-juridical type of research
using conceptual methods. Data funds are used primary, secondary and tertiary. This research
focuses on chemical castration from an international human rights perspective and health impacts.
The results of this research in the form of chemical castration practitioners in Indonesia and
abroad need to be re-examined from a human rights perspective to see whether the rights of the
perpetrators have been violated because the legal action of chemical castration is a torturous and
inhumane punishment so there is a lot of negative stigma and legalization of violations of human
rights. Apart from that, the defendants' rights to health were violated
