Abstract

Using a Socio-Legal Studies approach, this article analyses the primacy of the universal values of Pancasila, a decolonizing ideology, in tackling crimes of terrorism in Indonesia. In Indonesia's last two decades, radical movements have become more widespread, and the public easily follows their developments. Intolerance is the seed for radicalism, and terrorism is the forerunner of the emergence of acts of terrorism. In tackling crimes of terrorism, it is important to apply Pancasila as a way of life; ideals and nationalism have an important role in every aspect of the life of the nation and state. The policies for inculcating Pancasila values must be carried out in a synergistic and coordinated manner by involving various existing sectors, and the material content of programs of deradicalization must be comprehensive, integral and sustainable by taking into account the condition of the target participants, educational background, experience and age with a dialogical, democratic, and participatory approach.
