This article examined the effectiveness of oversight mechanisms applicable when investigators fail to respond to criminal reports or complaints under Article 23(6) and (7) of Law Number 20 of 2025 on the Criminal Procedure Code. The study employed normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, and documentary case-based approaches. Primary legal materials were read alongside scholarly articles, institutional analyses, and legislative-policy documents supplied for this research. The analysis found that Article 23 establishes a significant accountability pathway: paragraph (6) permits a complainant to report non-response after fourteen days, while paragraph (7) provides for administrative, ethical, or criminal sanctions where investigators exceed or violate legal or ethical requirements. Nevertheless, the provision does not itself specify a complete review procedure, a deadline for deciding a complaint, a duty to provide reasoned written outcomes, or an independent route of review. Earlier legislative critiques and recent studies of the new Criminal Procedure Code also identify risks associated with internal-only oversight and uneven institutional readiness. The article proposed a tiered, digitally traceable oversight model combining internal review, external maladministration review, clear procedural deadlines, reasoned decisions, and proportionate sanctions, while preserving investigative discretion and due process.
