The crime of corruption has been categorized as an extraordinary crime because corruption is not only detrimental to the state's finances but has also been a violation of the social and economic rights of the community. The research technique in this paper is a normative juridical type, and the research approach used is the statute approach. Based on this, it can be seen that there is a link between corruption and human rights violations, namely the basic social and economic rights of the community. The results of the study indicate that there is a relationship between corruption and human rights violations. Corruption is categorized as a violation of human rights if the consequences of corruption intersect with human rights that are harmed, so human rights violations caused by acts of corruption crimes should be taken into consideration by judges in their decisions because judges' considerations must be comprehensive in order to realize an ideal decision, namely a decision that reflects the values ​​of justice, certainty, and legal expediency.
