Komnas HAM, Indonesia LOIPR ICCPR application was born under the pretext of educating the public about various kinds of religious beliefs and groups in Indonesia, including those that were included in the heretical list by the government and the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). Among the injured party of this was the prominent figure Gerakan Fajar Nusantara (Gafatar), Ahmad Musadeq, who was sentenced to five years in prison in 2017 by the East Jakarta District Court. List of issues: 21. 22. 1) How does Indonesia ensure the protection of freedom of religion and belief with regulations such as the PNPS No.1 of 1965 still in effect? Do you have an action plan to revoke it? 2) Provide an explanation of the BAKORPAKEM mechanism to ensure that there is no violation of freedom of religion and belief, especially with the use of Smart Pakem technology? 3) What is the action plan to abolish BAKORPAKEM as it is not in accordance with the Constitution and the ICCPR? From 2015 to 2018, Komnas HAM received as many as 21 complaints related to oppositions over the construction of places of worship, with the following classification: unapproved Building Permit (6 cases), closing down, vandalism, and destruction of places of worship (3 cases), arson at a house of worship (1 case), criminalization (1 case), obstruction of worship (1 case), no recommendation on the establishment of places of worship (2 cases), intimidation (1 case), and non-compliance with court decisions (1 case). The factual case number is greater than the recorded number and can be obtained from various reports of Human Rights organizations in Indonesia. Some of the examples include the attempted construction of a church in Bantul Regency, Spc Region of Yogyakarta (2019) and obstruction of the construction of the Asy-Syuhada Mosque in the Aerujang Housing Complex, Girian Permai Village, Bitung City, North Sulawesi (2018). Some of the obstruction cases of construction of places of worship over the past years remain unresolved, as happened to the Church of GKI YASMIN, Bogor, West Java. The most recent case was the dispute over the Saint Joseph Catholic Church in Karimun Regency, Riau Islands. The numerous cases stemmed from the provisions contained in the Joint Ministerial Regulation of the Minister of Religious Affairs and Minister of Home Affairs (PBM) No. 8 and 9 of 2006 concerning Guidelines for Implementing Duties of Regional Leaders/Deputy Regional Leaders in Maintaining Religious Harmony, Empowering Religious Harmony Forums, and Establishing Houses of Worship, which regulate the establishment of houses of worship to maintain social consensus and harmony. The PBM is also further regulated in certain regions by more stringent rules requiring more approvals. This has resulted in minorities in such regions finding more difficulties to establish places of worship. This can be observed, for example, in Aceh where it initially required 60;90 to 90;120. This condition also indicates conflicting national with regional regulations. List of issues: 1) How does Indonesia ensure that there is no discrimination in the construction of places of worship? 5
