4. Conclusions and Recommendations
Conclusions
Komnas HAM has carried out the SDGs activities in accordance with its
objectives, functions, duties, and authorities, including based on the seven
strategic issues of Komnas HAM for 2020-2024.
The role of Komnas HAM in encouraging the achievement and monitoring
of the SDGs has not been explicitly identified in the 2020 Annual Report of
the National Commission on Human Rights, making it difficult for external
parties more specifically the government and the community to know
whether Komnas HAM has carried out its role in supporting the SDGs
achievement that is linked to human rights more broadly.
Komnas HAM has the authority to optimize supervision over the
implementation of the SDGs achievements from a human rights perspective
on various types and forms of activities presented in the 2020 Annual Report
of the National Commission on Human Rights. Internal optimization of the
SDGs is needed to synergize Komnas HAM’s performance in relation to the
SDGs, while external aspects are required. Thus, the stakeholders
understand the position of Komnas HAM regarding the SDGs.
Komnas HAM needs to continue to make efforts to mainstream human
rights in the process and support towards the implementation as well as the
SDGs achievements. It should be underlined that although the goals,
targets, and indicators of the SDGs reflect the protection and fulfillment of
human rights, in the process of achieving them, they are not necessarily in
line with human rights principles and norms.
The strategic role and position of Komnas HAM are to ensure that the
process and implementation of the SDGs achievement are in line with
human rights. One of the activities to achieve this is by making use of the
SDGs monitoring instruments prepared by Komnas HAM and UNESCO and
encouraging the implementation of the Standard Norms and Settings by
Ministries, Agencies, and Local Governments.
