Komnas HAM plays a strategic role in the process of developing and implementing VNR. The statistics on reporting human rights violations belonging to Komnas HAM from 2015 to 2020 are reported in the analysis and impact section of COVID-19, however, Komnas HAM’s supervision of the SDGs has not been seen in other sections.76 Komnas HAM, which is the “implementing agency” of Goals 5 and 16,77 plays an important role in providing solutions to the challenges highlighted in the VNR Indonesia report such as the prevention of violence against children and women 78 and relating to guaranteeing press freedom, especially during the COVID19 pandemic.79 In the future, Komnas HAM is also advised to gradually expand its contribution to other SDGs issues apart from the seven strategic issues that have been set out in Komnas HAM Strategic Plan 2020-2024.80 It is hoped that Komnas HAM’s active role can have an impact on a more comprehensive and in-depth VNR implementation. The action that Komnas HAM has carried out through sending a letter regarding “Komnas HAM Recommendation on the 1st Draft of VNR 2021 on the SDGs Indonesia” to the Ministry of NDP / NDPA on 23 April 2021 is a positive thing that can be further improved in the future.81 To further enhance the role of Komnas HAM in VNR, Komnas HAM, for example, can create an independent version of human rights VNR that supports Indonesian VNR. This was also conveyed and supported by Mimin Dwi Hartono (Acting Head of Advancement Support of Human Rights Bureau of the National Commission on Human Rights), especially regarding the delivery of clearer ideas and suggestions which may be more difficult to accommodate if only through the VNR Indonesian version.82 This VNR can address Annexes Indonesia’s VNR 2021 (n. 68), 334, 343, and 345.
