established standards of human rights training. In addition, training of human rights by
the Government of Indonesia, if any, have not demonstrated results. This is evident
from human rights abuses committed by security forces, especially police. According
to the National Human Rights Commission complaint data, in 2009, there were 4926
complaints. From many of them, some 891 cases are citizen concerns about the
process of investigation by police and as many as 177 complaints questioning the
legality of detention by the police. National Human Rights Commission asked the
international community to support the Government of Indonesia to make human
rights education and training programs organized by National Human Rights
Commission as one of the conditions to be met by all law enforcement officers.
b. Ratification of a number of standards and international human rights treaties, namely
(1) of the Rome Statute, (2) Additional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the
Child on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict, (3) Additional Protocol to
the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of children, child prostitution and
child pornography; ( 4) Additional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and
Other Forms of Treatment and Punishment Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading not Human
(5) The International Convention Concerning the Protection of All Persons from
Enforced Disappearance. Until now, the government has not met these
recommendations. National Human Rights Commission recommends the Government
of Indonesia to immediately ratify a number of standards and international human
rights treaties.
c. Community Empowerment. In the process of UPR 2008, the UPR Committee
recommends that the government of Indonesia to support and protect the community
work and human rights defenders, including at the provincial and local level as well as
regions with special autonomy. Cases of enforced disappearance or arrest of action or
acts of violence by security forces against citizens reasonably suspected to be linked
with the struggle for human rights. The absence of the right to security guarantees for
human rights defenders has led to the birth of the Draft Law on Human Rights
Defenders are expected to protect the fighters and human rights activists. However, the
bill is still pending discussion in the House. National Human Rights Commission
recommends the Government of Indonesia and the Indonesian Parliament to speed up
endorsement of the Act of Human Rights Defenders.
d. Impunity. In the process of UPR 2008, the UPR Committee recommends that the
government of Indonesia to combat impunity. The issue of impunity strongly
associated with the completion of the settlement are not cases of gross human rights
violations that occurred in the era of the Soeharto regime, namely: (1) May 1998 riots
case, (2) case Semanggi, and Clover II in 1998, (3) Case People are Forced
Disappearance 1997-1998, (4) Case Talangsari, (5) Case Wasior Wamena. These cases
are followed up by Komnas HAM inquiry. The results of the investigation the
Commission stated that in those cases there is probable cause as a follow Crimes
Against Humanity which is a clump of Serious Human Rights Violations.
Nevertheless, the results of Komnas HAM is not acted upon the Attorney General who
acts as investigator and prosecutor in the Justice system of human rights in Indonesia,
so in these cases there has been a legal impasse. Komnas HAM recommended to the
government to immediately follow up the results of investigations carried out ad hoc
National Commission on Human Rights, so that cases of gross human rights violations
