Abstract

The issue of human trafficking has recently appeared to be a much debated
problem both at the regional and global levels and is said to be a form of slavery
today. Government Regulation Number 7 of 2018 concerning Providing
Compensation, Restitution and Assistance to Victim Witnesses was signed with the
consideration of providing protection to victim witnesses.
This research was conducted in Bengkalis Regency. The sampling method
was purposive sampling method, so the number of samples was 6 people. Data
collection techniques by interview, observation and literature review. Data
analysis using qualitative analysis.
Based on the results of research, The implementation of Article 2 of the
Government Number 7 of 2018 concerning the Provision of Compensation to
children as victims of criminal acts of trafficking in persons in the Bengkalis
Regency jurisdiction has not been implemented properly, there are weaknesses in
the compensation arrangement, so that it is not fully oriented to the protection of
victims of criminal acts. Constraint factors that hinder the implementation of
compensation in cases of criminal acts of trafficking in persons are the role of law
enforcers who do not pay attention to the rights of victims as a result of criminal
acts of trafficking in persons, legal factors, namely overlapping laws and
regulations governing the provision of compensation, the victim's low legal
awareness of rights and mechanisms to obtain compensation, lack of ability and
willingness of the defendant to pay compensation. Efforts to overcome obstacles
to the implementation of Article 2 of the Government Number 7 of 2018
concerning the Provision of Compensation to children as victims of the crime of
trafficking in persons is to increase the role of law enforcement when handling
cases, the application for compensation should be carried out since the victim
reports the case he experienced to the local Indonesian National Police.
