Abstract: The conditional death penalty in Indonesia is imposed using the principle of balance as a limit of tolerance and legitimacy which originates from the Pancasila Ideology, the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, Human Rights and Human Obligations as well as general legal principles recognized by civilized nations. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out more in-depth research regarding the conditional death penalty from the perspective of criminal law and human rights. The research method used is a normative legal method, namely in the form of library research using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The aim of the research is to find out how the concept of conditional death penalty is in view of criminal law and human rights. The results of this research are that the conditional death penalty which will later apply in Indonesia with the existence of the Criminal Code has taken a middle path or what is called the Indonesian way between retentionist and abolitionist groups which is very appropriate. Philosophical and sociological interpretation, especially of article 28 A and article 28 J of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, where these two articles are certainly not intended to protect perpetrators of criminal acts that have endangered and reduced the right to life of other people, society and other individuals who are victims the criminal act. The conclusion is that the conditional death penalty which has very strict procedures for imposing it is regulated in the criminal law (KUHP) does not conflict with human rights because it only exists de jure and does not exist de facto.
