RESEARCH From the internal perspective of the NCHR, Sandrayati Moniaga stated that the NCHR does not intend to request a role.199 What the NCHR desires, according to her, is for the NDPA to understand the NCHR’s work if it is connected to the SDGs.200 Sandrayati Moniaga also expresses the importance of the NCHR to improve communication with the NDPA in this regard.201 Comprehension on the NCHR work will help the government to place the NCHR in the appropriate position, and this surely will strengthen the implementation of the SDGs based on human rights in Indonesia. Beka Ulung Hapsara also stated the situation where the NCHR has not yet to be properly involved by the ministries or other institutions in the implementation of the SDGs.202 He also said that the NDPA has not yet to see the NCHR’s role in its entirety that has demonstrated a broad range of human rights aspect towards the SDGs.203 Hairansyah (Coordinator of Sub-Commission on the Human Rights Enforcement / Commissioner for Mediation in the NCHR) agreed with the statement from Beka Ulung Hapsara on the broad nature of human rights that could be related to the SDGs.204 Mimin Dwi Hartono (Coordinator for Study and Research of the National Commission on Human Rights) also mentioned about the NCHR’s authority, which is large but has not yet been involved in a broader role with respect to the SDGs.205 Concerns on whether the NCHR is capable of supporting the achievement of all goals in the SDGs were expressed by Kurniasari Novita Dewi.206 Asri Oktavianty Wahono, Kurniasari Novita Dewi, and Nur Afifa Fauzia (Secretary for the NCHR’s SDGs Team) stipulates the SDGs had not yet been proliferated internally within the NCHR.207 Although the NCHR is indirectly supported by Law 39/1999 in achieving the SDGs, however, it is undeniable that the rules and decisions concerning the SDGs become very strategic legal products in maximizing the NCHR’s roles in achieving the SDGs in terms of technical implementation. In order to maximize the NCHR’s potential in achieving the SDGs, according to this research, it is indeed that ideally, the NCHR needs to be included in the rules and decisions to be revised as mentioned above. The inclusion of the NCHR in the rules and decisions needs to focus on the functions that the NCHR will exercise, particularly in ensuring the respect to human rights in all goals of the SDGs. According to Sandrayati Moniaga, it shall be more accurate to position the NCHR as the supervisor, instead of as an executing institution. Indeed, if the name remains to use executing institution, it is feared that it will present multi-interpretation on the NCHR’s role outside of the monitoring function. 199 NCHR Internal FGD (n. 7). 200 Ibid. 201 Ibid. 202 Ibid. 203 Ibid. 204 Ibid. 205 Ibid. 206 Ibid. 207 Ibid. 28
