RESEARCH FOREWORD The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are global commitments that show clearly and unequivocally that development cannot be implemented properly without the fulfilment of human rights. For Komnas HAM which is mandated in Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights to encourage the creation of a conducive situation for the implementation of human rights based on Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, the Charter of the United Nations, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the SDGs have become a very strategic instrument to support the achievement of the mandate. This research supported by DIHR aims to confirm that the role and position of Komnas HAM in achieving the SDGs is very important and strategic, so that it is necessary to strengthen the role and position of Komnas HAM both internally and externally. So far, the role of Komnas HAM has been "limited" to only one of the targets in Goal 16, whereas in the SDGs scheme it is clearly recognized that Goal 16 is an enabler or factor needed so that Goals 1 to 15 can be achieved based on the principle of essential participation or “no one left behind.” Komnas HAM expresses its gratitude and appreciation to the researchers involved in this research, coordinated by Alghiffari Aqsa, Andhy Panca, and Handa Abidin, as well as the personnel of Komnas HAM in the Research and Study Division, namely Mimin Dwi Hartono who is the coordinator of the SDGs program, Zsabrina Marchsya Ayunda and Mardhika Agestyaning Hermanto. Thanks are also conveyed to DIHR, especially Sille Stiedsen who is the supervisor for this research, so that this activity which is one of the implementations of the collaboration between Komnas HAM and DIHR can take place very well. Hopefully this research can be utilized and followed up by Komnas HAM and DIHR in a more concrete form through various activities to strengthen the role and position of Komnas HAM in encouraging the achievement of the SDGs. This is because the achievement of the SDGs is a step forward form for the state's obligation to progressively fulfilling human rights for all.
