This writing seeks to uncover whether the judicial system, administration and practices in Indonesia are capable of executing this important role, especially in respect to cases that involve human rights violations. This, especially, is because the cases of human rights violations often involve state officials or law enforcement officials, including the military officials, as the perpetrators.
- Instrumen Internasional Hak Asasi Manusia (international instruments of human rights)
- Prinsip-Prinsip Hak Asasi Manusia dalam Hukum HAM Internasional (principles of international human rights law)
- Evolusi Pemikiran Dan Sejarah Perkembangan Hak Asasi Manusia (evolution of thoughts and development of human rights)
- Mekanisme HAM Internasional (international human rights mechanism)
- Hak Asasi Manusia Di Indonesia (human rights in Indonesia)
- Instrumen Pokok Hukum Hak Asasi Manusia Nasional (main national instrument of human rights in Indonesia)
- Mekanisme Penegakan HAM Nasional (national mechanism of human rights)
- Pengadilan Hak Asasi Manusia Indonesia (Indonesian human rights court)
- Komisi Kebenaran dan Rekonsiliasi (truth and reconciliation commission)
- Hukum Humaniter (humanitarian law)
In the case of Indonesia, within the context of dealing with the past violations of human rights committed by the past regime, three main approaches have emerged. First is to forgive and forget then go on with the future. Politicians who enjoyed the “facilities” of the past regime, who in some way could be involved in or might be responsible for such human rights violations, put forward this idea. The second approach is to prosecute all of the perpetrators through criminal prosecution by creating a national “human rights court”. And the third is to, in certain stage and condition, compromise with the past and focus on revealing the truth and providing reparation for the victims by establishing a kind of “Truth Commission”, and only prosecute the main responsible actors.
This dissertation will try to analyze which is the most suitable and convenient way to deal with past human rights violations, using a comparative study of two mechanisms: criminal prosecutions in general, and the idea of the “Truth Commission”. The first choice, to forgive and forget, which is only popular in certain political community is not to be included, since it amounts to providing absolute impunity for the perpetrators.
The first section is the general introduction of Indonesian transition. This section particularly will provide general information about human rights, law, and political condition after the fall of president Soeharto. The second section will provide information, a feasibility-study and background analysis about the choices available to deal with the past gross human rights violations, such as criminal prosecution in general, the question of impunity, what legislation proposed, policies made, and steps taken, and how the idea of establishing a “Truth Commission” in Indonesia emerged. Then, the third section will analyze the principles of criminal prosecution and the idea of establishing a kind of “Truth Commission” in Indonesia, within the framework of comparative analysis: the process of establishment, limitations and benefits, consistency and compliance with international laws regarding State responsibility, and any posibility of conflicts. The fourth section, the final section, is the brief conclusion of discussions in the previous sections followed with suggestion or recommendation of remedies in light of the law enforcement, legal reforms, and human rights condition in present-day Indonesia.
