A number of policemen stand guard during the silent demonstration of the 612th Kamisan held by the Solidarity Network for Victims for Justice (JSKK) in front of the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Thursday (28/11/2019). Kamisan actions routinely voice injustice and fight for the rights of victims and families of victims of human rights violations.
JAKARTA, KOMPAS — To overcome the deadlock in settling cases of past human rights or gross human rights violations, the government is pushing for settlement out of court. The government will make a classification based on the length of the cases. However, a number of parties say this is not in accordance with the mechanism of the Law on Human Rights Court.
As reported, the families of victims of gross human rights violations, including human rights violations in 1997-1998, continue to push for the completion of the cases. A Kompas poll showed that 80 percent of respondents thought the human rights violations in May 1998 had not been resolved or partially resolved. As many as 59.7 percent of respondents encouraged completion through the judiciary (Kompas, 10/5/2021).
