the state, specially government. Moreover the act does not govern the state responsibilities in the empowerment of disabled people. Komnas HAM appreciates the draft bill of Disabled Persons to amend the Law No. 4 of 1997 is on the list of Indonesian National Legislation Program 2014. Komnas HAM however, does not see any significant efforts for making public buildings, environment and services accessible to persons with disabilities. 22. Komnas HAM appreciates the initiatives were taken by the local government of Jakarta Province and also Yogyakarta Province to issue the local regulations on disability. These local regulations are : a. the Local Regulations 10 of 2011 on the Protraction on Person with Disabilities issues by Jakarta and ; b). the Local Regulation 4 of 2012 on the Protection and Fulfilment of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities issues by Yogyakarta. Komnas HAM, however, notes that the implementation of these regulations is facing challenges on the issue of budget needed by the program. The local regulations also do not provide complaint mechanism. 23. Komnas HAM appreciates a few universities which accommodates disabled students. However, several universities explicitly reject disabled candidates to apply for enjoying higher education. Komnas HAM appreciates Ministry of Education plan to issue a Ministerial Decree on inclusive education for disabled person achieved higher education. Komnas HAM expect the Decree will allow them enjoy higher education without any exception. Issues relating to the specific provisions of the Covenant (Arts. 6–15) Article 9 – The right to social security 24. Komnas HAM appreciates the Social Security Program to provide nationwide healthcare coverage for all Indonesians people. However, based on its short study in West Nusa Tenggara Province, and also West Java (Bogor and Sumedang district), Komnas HAM notes that this program is facing big challenges to be overcome. The challenges consist of three big issues : a). the availability and accessibility of the facility and health workers; b). membership and ; c). the socialization and coordination. 25. Komnas HAM is of the view that those challenges can only be answered if only if the government fix all the problems by assuring the availability of facility of health and the availability and the distribution of health workers, including doctors, specialist doctors and nurses. The government should handle the problem of the data validity to overcome the problem of membership otherwise poor people (such as homeless people, street children and others) will face social difficulties in getting access to the medical treatment in the hospital. The effort should be taken to disseminate the Komnas HAM-52nd Session of ICESCR – April 2014, page 8
