1. Introduction In 2020, the Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR) and the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) conducted a survey on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Human Rights joined by 17 human rights institutions from various countries around the world in the Asia Pacific that are members of the Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions.1 The questions asked include what SDGs activities they had carried out, what the challenges were, and what they wanted to improve.2 The countries that have participated in the survey are Australia, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, South Korea, Maldives, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Oman, Qatar, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Timor Leste.3 From the geographical aspect, these countries are located in Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Thailand, Timor Leste, and Malaysia), East Asia (South Korea and Mongolia), West Asia (Iraq, Oman, and Qatar), Central Asia (Kyrgyzstan), South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka), and the Australian Continent (Australia and New Zealand). This report aims to complement the survey, especially from countries participating in the webinar titled “The Role of NHRIs in Monitoring SDGs Achievements in their National Context” organized by the DIHR and Komnas HAM on 22 November 2021.4 The countries discussed further in this report are Indonesia (Komnas HAM) and Kyrgyzstan (Institute of the Akyikatchy of the Kyrgyz Republic / Ombudsman Office of the Kyrgyz Republic). There is one additional state, Palestine (Independent Commission for Human Rights / ICHR). The ICHR itself was not a participant in the survey conducted in 2020 by DIHR and Komnas HAM. However, the ICHR is chosen because of its willingness to be involved in this research aside from having an interesting experience to be elaborated in this report. This report is hoped to provide beneficial new information for human rights institutions in the Asia Pacific. The selection of three countries, namely Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, and Palestine, was carried out based on the level of readiness and availability of the human rights institutions of these countries. Communication has been initiated with other countries involved in the survey conducted in 2020. These countries are Australia, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, South Korea, Maldives, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Oman, Qatar, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, (1) “Our Members”, Asia Pacific Forum of National Human Rights Institutions, accessed on 23 October 2021, asiapacificforum.net; (2) Danish Institute for Human Rights and Komnas HAM, “NHRI Survey on SDGs” (2020); and (3) Danish Institute for Human Rights and Komnas HAM, “Summary of Respondents from the Asia-Pacific Region to the NHRI.EU SDG Survey” (2020). 2 (1) Ibid., Danish Institute for Human Rights and Komnas HAM, “NHRI Survey on SDGs”; and (2) Ibid., Danish Institute for Human Rights and Komnas HAM, “Summary of Respondents from the Asia-Pacific Region to the NHRI.EU SDG Survey”. 3 See footnote number 1. 4 Danish Institute for Human Rights and Komnas HAM, “The Role of NHRIs in Monitoring SDGs Achievements in their National Context”, YouTube video, accessed on 9 December 2021, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v41YMZqv0rg. 1 1
