RKUHP as ”Omnibus Law”

Some strategic principles in the RKUHP were previously unknown in the Criminal Code (WvS) on colonial heritage.

Minus some negative impressions on the existence of omnibus laws (OLs) in their countries of origin (US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, etc.), the functionalization of the draft Criminal Code law (RKUHP) as an OL is possible.

The reason is because, in its mission and vision, the RKUHP also contains a mission of synchronization and consolidation due to the development of the post-independence criminal law, which is very massive in scope, both inside and outside the Criminal Code Law (KUHP) on colonial heritage, which tends to be unenforceable.
