ANNUAL REPORT 2019
SUHAKAM reiterates its call to establish
a Permanent Inter-Ministerial Tracking
System for effective coordination on
human rights issues.
Many quarters including from the
Ministries, Parliamentarians and their
committees, CSOs, UN agencies and
Special Rapporteurs, international
organisations, and ASEAN through the
AICHR, have increasingly sought to
engage with SUHAKAM on many fronts.
Considering the broad scope of human
rights issues and a growing population,
which correlates with increasing human
rights violations, SUHAKAM welcomes
these collaborations mainly to achieve
common objectives.
SUHAKAM urges the government,
all politicians and parliamentarians
to avoid using ‘human rights’ as a
tool for political gains, but rather as
an approach to right what is wrong,
and as a discourse to strive for a just,
respected, equitable and sustainable
society where no one is left out of
the equation.
