Regulation of Law Enforcement of Female Circumcision by Medical and/or Health Workers has not been concretely regulated in the positive law applicable in Indonesia, and its implementation is not yet based on justice. The purpose of this research is to analyze and find out why this is the case, what the weaknesses are in the current regulation of the law enforcement in these cases, and how to reconstruct these regulation. Research results: 1. The current Regulation of Law Enforcement of Female Circumcision by Medical Personnel and/or Health Workers in the positive law of Indonesia is not yet based on justice. 2. Regarding these law enforcement, there is no legal substance that concretely regulates it. From the legal structure, there is no knowledge and understanding of health law among law enforcement officers, so there is no uniformity in the way the law is enforced. From the legal culture, there is still limited understanding and awareness of health law for the Indonesian people. 3. The Regulation of Law Enforcement of Female Circumcision is to provide balanced protection and law enforcement to female circumcision perpetrators and society in general. Reconstruction of legal norms Article 102 letter a of Government Regulation Number 28 of 2024 concerning the Implementing Regulations of the Health Law can produce regulation of Law Enforcement of Female Circumcision by Medical Personnel and/or Health Workers in Indonesia, which is balanced in terms of legal certainty, legal benefits, and the sense of justice of the community.
