Executive Summary
The UPR recommendations are an opportunity for Indonesia to improve the national human rights
situation, even though there are many challenges in implementing them. Implementing the 205 UPR
recommendations is a form of international commitment that must be implemented by Indonesia as a
UN member country, especially as a member of the Human Rights Council for the sixth time. The
commitment manifested in the form of ratification of international human rights instruments and
cooperation in international human rights mechanisms such as the UPR, is a form of Indonesia's
commitment to constructively participate in the international human rights regime.
A human rights approach is needed in implementing the 205 UPR recommendations. The human
rights approach will encourage the state as the duty bearer for the implementation of human rights to
have accountability and integrity in carrying out its obligations in implementing the 205 UPR
recommendations supported by Indonesia. Meanwhile, the community will have the capacity and
capability as rights holders to participate in implementing the 205 supported recommendations,
including monitoring the state in implementing them.
The strategy for implementing UPR recommendations will depend on the type or category of
recommendation. The first category is recommendations that are specific in nature and more
measurable in scope, so that they are more specific in measuring the state's steps in implementing
them. Including by using resources optimally, including through international cooperation.
Recommendations included in this category include ratification of international human rights
instruments, implementation of the National Human Rights Action Plan, national criminal law
reform, elimination of discrimination against women, children, the elderly, people with disabilities,
