Mr. Chairperson,
I have the honor of delivering this statement on behalf of the Indonesia National
Commission on Human Rights, Komnas HAM.
Komnas HAM recognizes the mutually reinforcing and complementary nature of
human rights and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Our commitment
to SDGs implementation is captured in the Nine Priority Work Program 2022 – 2027.
Several initiatives have so far been taken by Komnas HAM to promote and protect
human rights and implement the SDGs based on the “leaving no one behind”
principle. Among others through the development of Norms and Regulatory
Standards, namely: The Elimination of Racial and Ethnic Discrimination, Freedom of
Assembly and Association, Freedom of Religion and Belief, the Right to Health, the
Right Freedom of Expression, Right to Land and Natural Resources, and on Human
Rights Defenders. In addition, the National Action Plan on Business and Human
Rights was published in 2017.
Due to the multi-faceted impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic that is exacerbated by
the Russia-Ukraine conflict have led to global multiple crises, Komnas HAM strongly
recommends governments and businesses endeavor inclusive and sustainable
economic growth, employment, and decent work for all by considering the core
principles of the human rights-based approach (accountability, equity-focus, and
empowerment).
