List of Ten Prominent Cases Handled by Komnas
HAM
If we look at the 10 cases stated in the table above, the number of human rights
cases handled by Komnas HAM relating to the SDGs can be seen clearly. The
research team identified at least 8 Goals and 20 Targets that are related to the 10
cases. Target 16.3 concerning the supremacy of law becomes a relevant target for all
cases.53 Whereas, other targets spread around the aforementioned cases.54
In the future, Komnas HAM can include the SDGs in dealing with cases relating
to the SDGs within Komnas HAM activities. It is expected that this matter could induce
the parties involved within this case, for instance, the government and the police to
become more familiar with the human rights aspects that are highly correlated to the
SDGs.
The last sub-chapter in the “Human Rights Enforcement” is “Mediation”. In the
case of mediation, the right to welfare and the right to life for example hold the highest
positions of number 1 and 2 in terms of the number of complaints to Komnas HAM
where the right to welfare can be linked to the SDGs in Goals 1, 2, 5, 8, 10-11, and
the right to life with Target 16.1. on Goal 16.55
