Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The National Commission of Human Rights (Komnas Ham) has
demanded that an ad hoc human rights judiciary be established to address
past human rights violations.
"We demand that whoever is elected president in the July 9
presidential election should support the creation of an ad hoc human
rights judiciary, as expected by the community, which supports human
rights," Komnas Ham Commissioner Natalius Pigai said on Wednesday.
The Commissions head of the human rights violations monitoring and
investigation sub-commission noted that he had constantly asked
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to form the ad hoc human rights
judiciary.
But he explained that the president, through the Ministry/State
Secretariat, had stated that there was not enough time to do it.
"However, we think there is still time. The next four months for
President Yudhoyono before he ends his term of office in October 2014 is
enough time for him to do it. We hope that before the transfer of
power, the president will have formed the ad hoc human rights
judiciary," Pigai noted.
He added that if President Yudhoyono issues a presidential decision
to form the ad hoc human rights judiciary, the next president should go
ahead with it.
But if President Yudhoyono fails to form the ad hoc human rights
judiciary, Pigai said Komnas Ham will continue to demand the next
president do so. (WDY)
