The settlement of past human rights abuses continues to be a burden upon the nation, as it is an issue that still remains unresolved. The government’s promises during political campaigns to resolve past human rights abuses is just pandering to the votes of human rights activists. The politicians are strong in promise and rhetoric but poor in realization.
The 20th anniversary of the reform movement is a reminder for the government to repay the debt. The 1945 Constitution has been amended, the dual function of the Armed Forces (ABRI) has been terminated, regional autonomy has been implemented and corruption eradication has begun, although it has not been thoroughly applied.
