POLICY BRIEF
•
The government will actually benefit from the NCHR’s structural involvement in
achieving the SDGs, taking into account the government responsibility of the protection
of human rights in Indonesia.20 If the NCHR is able to be added into the aforementioned
two regulations and one decision as well as adequately exercises its role in supervising
the human rights implementation of the SDGs as mentioned, then this may be said as
a significant path in the integration effort of the SDGs and human rights in Indonesia.21
The NCHR will secure a strategic position to ensure that the implementation of the
SDGs in Indonesia is conducted in accordance with human rights in a more structured
manner.22

revision of the President Regulation 59/2017, the Minister of NDP / Head of NDPA

HK/11/2018 as a supervisor in all goals of the SDGs by utilizing human rights approach.23
