all the objectives of the SDGs related to human rights. Specific SDGs that can be
addressed in Komnas HAM’s own VNR include Target 10.3 and Goal 16 which serve
as Komnas HAM’s main core SDGs in addition to issues that are pointed out earlier
by Hartono which are: agrarian conflicts (Goals 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 11, and 17), apparatus
and citizen violence (Goals 5, 10, 16, and 17), gross human rights violations (Goals
10, 16, and 17), access to justice (Goals 5, 16, and 17), freedom of opinion,
expression, and assembly ( Goals 4, 5, 10, 16, and 17), intolerance and extremism
(Goals 4, 5, 10, 16, and 17), and institutional arrangements (Goals 16 and 17).83
Komnas HAM can also develop human rights VNR by optimizing online web-based
tools in collaboration with UNESCO (https://sdg.komnasham.go.id/en/sdgs/).
3.2.
Internal Approaches
3.2.1.
Capacity Building
The internal approach has also been discussed in the research entitled
“Strengthening the Position and the Roles of the National Commission on Human
Rights in Supporting the Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in
Indonesia”, such as capacity building on the SDGs.84 This research, as previously
stated, will use and develop the suggestions that have been presented in
“Strengthening the Position and the Roles of the National Commission on Human
Rights in Supporting the Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in
Indonesia”. Komnas HAM has 384 employees. 85 Strengthening the capacity of
Komnas HAM employees will strengthen the mobilization of Komnas HAM’s internal
activities, and it is hoped that it will maximize Komnas HAM’s external activities.
3.2.2. SDGs Inclusion in the Annual Report
Viewed from the drafting of the 2020 Annual Report of the National Commission
on Human Rights, the SDGs are explicitly mentioned and centralized in the SDGs
discussion section.86 The SDGs have not explicitly been integrated into other sections.
Despite this, as stated in Chapter 2.2., Komnas HAM’s activities in the promotion and
Komnas HAM), “DIHR Project Interview - NHRI Role with Indonesia”, interviews were conducted by the
Research Team (Handa S. Abidin, Ulya Yasmine Prisandani, and Fidela Gracia) with Mimin Dwi
Hartono and Sri Nur Fathya on 21 December 2021.
