RESEARCH to understand its bindingness to Indonesia, further analysis for each content is required).12 The international instrument mentioned above will not be discussed in a specific manner, since the identification of connection between the SDGs and human rights has been done by the OHCHR. For each of the international instruments that legally binds Indonesia in the said identification made by the OHCHR, could indeed be used as a basis to support the expansion of roles of the NCHR in all goals in the SDGs.13 In the context of this research, the main focus of discussion lies in the Law 39/1999 particularly with regards to what human rights aspects are relevant to the 17 SDGs. The NCHR has a close connection with the rights in the Law 39/1999 since the NCHR and those rights are both regulated under the Law 39/1999.14 Aside from the Law 39/1999, there are several other relevant products of national law where the NCHR is given specific roles, namely the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 40 of 2008 concerning Eradication of Discrimination against Race and Ethnicity (hereinafter Law 40/2008).15 In the Law 40/2008, the NCHR is given the authority to supervise the eradication of acts of discrimination against race and ethnicity.16 In general, articles related to the discrimination act in the Law 40/2008 are relevant with, for example, Target 10.2. in the SDGs.17 Besides that, there is also the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 7 of 2012 concerning Social Conflict Management where the NCHR is a part of the duties force in the event of national scale conflict.18 Social conflict could be connected to, for example, the significant reduction of violence which would serve to contribute to the achievement of Target 16.1.19 12 Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, “Summary Table on the Linkages Between the SDGs and Relevant International Human Rights Instruments,” accessed on 30 December 2020, https:// www.ohchr. org/Documents/Issues/MDGs/Post2015/SDG_HR_Table.pdf (first link: https://www.ohchr. org/en/issues/SDGS/ pages/the2030agenda.aspx).
