2.2.3. How is the Role in Monitoring the SDGs? Komnas HAM’s monitoring contribution to the SDGs from a human rights perspective was carried out, among others, through the VNR process in which Komnas HAM provided written comments on the VNR draft made by the government (Ministry of National Development Planning / National Development Planning Agency [Ministry of NDP / NDPA]).32 Hartono gave an interesting comment about VNR, namely Komnas HAM’s desire for the government not to stop at reporting the number of Komnas HAM recommendations on human rights violation, but rather on the government’s actions on these recommendations.33 Mimin Dwi Hartono (2021): “We want it to be more elaborated, let’s say that in 2020 Komnas HAM received 2000 complaints, then from those 2000 complaints we submitted the government’s recommendation of 200 cases. And then how would the government respond.” Komnas HAM has taken advantage of the opportunity to be involved in the preparation of VNR as a means to monitor whether the recommendations of Komnas HAM are implemented by the government.34 In addition, Hartono conveyed that the short time given to respond to the VNR was due to sudden information with a short deadline which became an obstacle to providing optimal responses.35 Hartono also said that in the future Komnas HAM needs to make Komnas HAM version of the VNR report.36 Komnas HAM is also involved in public consultation activities on the SDGs National Action Plan 2021-2024.37 However, due to the short deadline given by the government, Komnas HAM did not provide written comments.38 Nevertheless, the human rights aspect is very relevant in the SDGs National Action Plan 2021-2024.39 Another form of Internal Sustainable Development Goals di Komnas HAM: Sustainable Development Goals dalam Konteks Pemajuan dan Penegakan HAM di Indonesia”) [Sustainable Development Goals and the Advancement and Enforcement of Human Rights: Lesson Learned and the Step Forward” (PowerPoint Presentation on Webinar “Internal Campaign for Sustainable Development Goals at Komnas HAM: Sustainable Development Goals in the Context of Promoting and Enforcement of Human Rights in Indonesia”)], translated by authors, (20 December 2021), 11. 31 Ibid. 32 Ibid. 33 Ibid., translated by authors. 34 DIHR Project Interview - NHRI Role with Indonesia (n. 16). 35 Ibid. 36 Ibid. 37 Ibid. 38 Ibid. 39 Ibid. 6
