A A comparative study on the use of consent decree in addressing abuse of dominant position under competition law in indonesia and the united states. the research problem of this study centers on the use of the consent decree mechanism and the role of competition authorities in each country. this research employs a normative juridical method with a descriptive approach. the data sources consist of primary legal materials (laws and regulations), secondary materials (literature, journals, case reports), and tertiary materials (legal dictionaries and encyclopedias). data collection was conducted through literature study, then analyzed qualitatively with conclusions drawn using a deductive method. the research findings show that in the united states, the use of consent decrees is regulated under the tunney act and implemented through agreements between business actors and competition authorities such as the doj and ftc, without requiring an admission of wrongdoing from the parties involved. conversely, in indonesia, although the concept of a consent decree is implemented through the behavioral change mechanism based on articles 36 and 47 of law no. 5 of 1999 and kppu regulation no. 2 of 2023, it requires an admission of violation as a prerequisite. differences in terms of judicial involvement, transparency, and admission of guilt reflect the legal systems of each country. therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the regulatory mechanism in indonesia to prevent the recurrence of similar violations and to ensure a deterrent effect against breaches of competition law.
