Figure 4.1. Four Human Rights Situations that Can Be Used as a Focus for Monitoring
In addition to monitoring, Komnas HAM
RI has a mediation mandate. The mediation mandate is directed at efforts to
resolve human rights incidents by ensuring a balance of power between the
parties so that a sense of justice can be
achieved (OHCHR, 2010). The monitoring of human rights situation and mediation are key roles of the Commission in
accordance with Law Number 39 of 1999
concerning Human Rights.
4.2. Realization of Complaint
Management by the Complaint
Service Working Group
The Commission articulates the mandate of enforcing human rights through
monitoring and mediation functions.
These two functions are then supported
through receiving and servicing public
complaints regarding various alleged human rights violations. The reception and
service of public complaints submitted
to the Commission illustrates the situation and patterns of human rights violations that occur in Indonesia. Patterns of
human rights violations include, among
other things, regional distribution, rights
violated, perpetrators of human rights violations, and classification of victims of
human rights violations.
