ABSTRACT:
The pre-accusation institute is currently facing an extraordinary problem. The imbalance with the lack of communication between the investigation and the prosecutor is very obvious. Beside the legal vacuum must be how long and how many pre-prosecutions do. Between norms and the relationship and communication between law enforcement officers in the prosecution institution, it can cause the value of justice and legal certainty to be harmed, so that justice seekers receive treatment that does not respect the values of human rights. Concrete step as an effort to restore the function of this pre-prosecution institution is to carry out reconstruction of this institution. The consequence is fixing positive rules as in the Criminal Procedure Code, which can be implemented in the establishment of the Criminal Procedure Code Bill.

KEY WORDS: pre-accusation, reconstruction, certainty and justice, human rights.
