K. The Reconsolidation of Ideas and
The Strengthening of Institutions
All activities throughout 2023 can be
placed as a part of efforts to understand the unique position of the Commission in human rights governance
at the national and global levels. This
unique position strengthens the potential role of the Commission as a
liaison in integrating human rights in
the national context. At the same time,
the Commission can also strengthen relations between the state actors
and the non-state actors to exchange
ideas in developing policies with a human rights dimension.
to reconsolidate ideas and strengthen
institutions, both at the national office
and at the Representative Secretariat
of Komnas HAM RI through: (1) filling
structural positions with competency
according to organizational needs;
(2) preparing a number of policies to
provide a safe work environment; (3)
increasing staff capacity; (4) strengthening institutional governance to increase accountability and transparency; (5) network development and
expansion of cooperation. These
efforts to reconsolidate ideas and
strengthen institutions leads to interpreting the mandates of the Commission which continues to face new human rights challenges.
Komnas HAM RI continues to strive
Based on the dynamics of
new human rights challenges, the Commission
tries to consolidate ideas

strengthens the institutional capacity to reach out to
corporations as important
agents in human rights gov-

ernance. The preparation
of the SNP on Business and
Human Rights is an important lesson that the mandate
of the Commission must
also reach corporations.
Corporations have paradoxical power because
they can both strengthen
and reduce human rights.
Although the formal mandate of the Commission
strengthens the role of state
actors, it has subsequently
been reinterpreted to reach
out and partner with the
non-state actors, especially
corporations.
