Komnas HAM, Indonesia LOIPR ICCPR
65.
Komnas HAM assessed the ongoing situation of impunity that lasted a long time due
the lack of independence, impartiality, and professionalism in law enforcement. This is
evident from the law enforcement of gross human rights violations, which are strongly
influenced by political interests.

The following table lists events of Gross Violations of Human Rights and the time of
submission to the Attorney General:
List of Issues:
1) What efforts have been made by the government to resolve gross violations of
human rights as a guarantee of the right to justice for victims?
2) How will a gross violation of human rights case be resolved without impunity?
67.
Some regional governments have taken the initiative to start restoring the rights of
victims of gross human rights violations. For example, this was done by the Palu City
Government. This mechanism was replicated by several other regional governments.
Nevertheless, this initiative is still limited.
68.
The longer the resolution of gross violations of human rights, the more victims will
suffer. Justice will be delayed, as is the victim’s right to remedy. Until now, efforts to
fulfill the rights of victims of gross human rights violations are still far from the
expectations of the public and victims.
Issue:
What has the government done to restore the rights of victims of gross human rights
violations?
k. Criminal Justice System in Countering Terrorism
69.
On June 21, 2018, Law No. 5 of 2018 concerning Eradication of Criminal Act of
Terrorism was passed. Currently the government is proposing a Presidential Regulation
on the Duties of the Indonesian National Army in Countering Terrorism. Law No.5 of
2018 and the draft Presidential Regulation are problematic as they add to the paradigm
of counterterrorism from the criminal justice system and war model. This is reflected
in the regulation of military involvement in the handling of criminal act of terrorism
