Personnel, Volunteers, Facilities and
Supporting Infrastructure
Komnas HAM RI recommends rapid policies to support
medical personnel’s distribution, accelerate the recruitment
of volunteers, and proportionally provide facilities and
infrastructure so that COVID-19 can be mitigated properly,
especially in the red zones or the potential areas of becoming
ones. Apart from that, the policy should ensure the quality
standard of health facilities and supporting infrastructure.
15. Building Community Solidarity
and Ensuring that Mitigation of
theCOVID-19 Runs Smoothly
Komnas HAM RI recommends policies to facilitate solidarity
in society and provide protection for the solidarity action.
This policy can take the form of facilitating the distribution
of goods or other supporting facilities.
16. Policies for Indonesian Citizens
Abroad, Especially Migrant Workers
in the COVID-19 Countries
Komnas HAM RI recommends a policy of protection and
special services for Indonesian citizens abroad, especially
migrant workers, in countries where the COVID-19 spreads.
This policy includes information on whether there are
general Indonesian citizens or migrant workers who become
the victims and the continuity of health services for them.
Including if they are in a country that has declared a
lockdown, their basic needs must be considered and met.
17. Protection for Laborers and Workers
Komnas HAM RI recommends that the government
guarantees and ensures that there are no unilateral layoffs
of workers by collecting data of business sectors that are
vulnerable or affected by the COVID-19 and formulating
mitigation steps in collaboration with related business
associations.
18. Maximum Health Services for
Victims, Families, ODP, PDP, and
Communities
Komnas HAM RI recommends the fulfillment and guarantees
the right to complete health services for all by maximizing
all existing resources, including conducting international
cooperation, among other things, ensuring the availability
and quality of medicines, medical personnel, appropriate
treatment methods, or other supporting facilities to mitigate
the COVID-19 effectively.
The study found that at least seven SDGs intersect with the 18 recommendations (see Table
2). The following section shows these links and describes how the human rights issues
observed by Komnas HAM, and the recommendations on how to address the issues, are
directly relevant for the achievement of existing SDG Goals and targets. The table below
shows a summary of these messages, while the narrative section below the table describes
in more detail how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted negatively on human rights and
posed challenges in relation to achieving the SDG goals and targets if these human rights
issues are not addressed.
