The widespread spread of COVID 19 influenced various aspects of life in all nations across the globe, including the effect on the judicial and penal systems. People were unable to appear in court because lockdowns were implemented; therefore, electronic court is a solution to such a challenge. This article aims to investigate how the widespread COVID-19 epidemic has affected the efficiency of the of electronic criminal justice proceedings. In addition, this article describes the implementation of an electronic criminal justice system in another country due to the Covid 19 pandemic. The research method employed is normative legal research through a statutory approach and a comparative approach between Indonesia and the Netherlands. The study found that the electronic criminal justice system has been implemented quite effectively, despite the fact that it was still encountering obstacles. In both Indonesia and the Netherlands, technological issues have posed obstacles to the implementation of electronic courts for criminal cases. However, the difference lies in the suspect's and attorneys' responses. While Indonesian attorneys viewed electronic court as beneficial, Dutch attorneys argued that it violates the freedoms of the accused.

“…This followed extensive civil society protests following the arrest of the health minister on allegations of graft.

COVID-19 presented countries with unprecedented health policy challenges. For low-income countries in particular, policymakers had to contend with both the direct threats posed by COVID-19 as well as the social, educational, and economic harms associated with lockdown and other infection prevention and control measures. We present a holistic and contextualised case study of the direct and indirect impacts of COVID-19 on women and children, with some assessment of their uneven distribution across socio-economic, age and gender groups. We used different types of primary and secondary data from multiple sources to produce a holistic descriptive analysis. Primary data included: qualitative data obtained from 28 in-depth interviews of key informants, six focus group discussions; and 40 household interviews. We also extracted data from government reports and announcements, the District Health Information Software version 2 (DHIS2), newspaper articles and social media, as well as from published research articles. Our findings show that the direct and indirect adverse impacts of COVID-19 were compounded by many years of severe political economic challenges, and consequent deterioration of the healthcare system. The indirect effects of the pandemic had the most severe impacts on the poorest segment of society and widened age and gender inequalities. The pandemic and its accompanying infection prevention and control measures negatively affected health service delivery and uptake. The management of COVID-19 presented enormous challenges to policymakers and public health specialists. These included managing the greatest tension between direct and indirect harms; short-term and long-term effects; and the unequal distribution of harms across different segments of society.
