Every year on July 22, Indonesia celebrates Hari Bhakti Adhyaksa, or National Prosecutors Day, to honor the vital role of the Indonesian Attorney General’s Office (Kejaksaan Republik Indonesia). This day serves as a reminder of the prosecutor’s duty in upholding justice, enforcing the law, and protecting public interest.
History of Hari Bhakti Adhyaksa
The first commemoration of Hari Bhakti Adhyaksa took place in 1961, following the official separation of the Attorney General’s Office from the Ministry of Justice. The date July 22 was designated through Presidential Decree No. 204/1960, marking the institutional independence of the prosecution service.
Since then, this date has become an annual reflection on the performance, commitment, and evolution of Indonesia’s prosecution system.
Meaning and Purpose of the Commemoration
Hari Bhakti Adhyaksa is more than just a ceremonial celebration—it carries a deep message of reform and professional integrity. The key goals of this commemoration are to:
- Strengthen the integrity and professionalism of prosecutors,
- Support continuous reform in the legal sector,
- Foster public trust in the justice system.
Each year, the Attorney General’s Office announces a theme that guides the spirit of the commemoration, often emphasizing accountability, service, and public transparency.
Nationwide Commemorative Activities
Across Indonesia, various activities mark Hari Bhakti Adhyaksa, such as:
- Official flag-raising ceremonies,
- Free legal consultations and outreach,

These events aim to bring the justice system closer to the people and show that the law can be both firm and humane.
