Komnas HAM had received around 2,700 complaints concerning agrarian\nconflicts over the past three years.Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia\u2019s\nNational Agrarian Reform Agency (BRAN) is exploring a memorandum of\nunderstanding (MoU) with the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas\nHAM) to accelerate the resolution of agrarian conflicts while\nprioritizing human rights protection.<\/p>\n
The initiative was discussed at a meeting between BRAN Head Dedi\nPrasetyo and Komnas HAM Chair Anis Hidayah at the commission\u2019s office on\nFriday.<\/p>\n
Prasetyo said closer cooperation with Komnas HAM was an initial step\ntoward establishing a more coordinated mechanism for resolving agrarian\nconflicts while ensuring legal certainty and protecting people\u2019s\nrights.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will continue to strengthen cooperation between BRAN and Komnas\nHAM to resolve agrarian conflicts. As a first step, we will focus on\nestablishing an MoU to improve coordination and cooperation in handling\nthese disputes,\u201d Prasetyo said.<\/p>\n
During the meeting, Prasetyo received a briefing and data from Komnas\nHAM on agrarian conflicts across Indonesia.<\/p>\n
Some disputes have persisted for years, leaving affected communities\nstruggling to secure resolution and access to justice.<\/p>\n
According to Prasetyo, resolving agrarian conflicts requires\ncollaboration among government institutions, data harmonization, and\ncomprehensive mapping of the issues.<\/p>\n
Each case must be examined based on field findings, legal\nconsiderations, land ownership and tenure history, and the social\nconditions of the parties involved.<\/p>\n
This approach, he said, would help authorities address the root\ncauses of disputes while ensuring that each institution acts within its\nmandate.<\/p>\n
Hidayah said Komnas HAM had received around 2,700 complaints\nconcerning agrarian conflicts over the past three years.<\/p>\n
The complaints involved various parties, including corporations, and\ndisputes related to state assets.<\/p>\n
The figure underscores the need for more focused coordination in\naddressing agrarian conflicts.<\/p>\n
She added that the commission had spent about two years developing a\nhuman rights-based roadmap for resolving such disputes.<\/p>\n
The document includes recommendations on institutional reform,\ngovernance improvements, regulatory changes, and preventive measures to\nreduce the recurrence of agrarian conflicts.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will also seek institutional cooperation between Komnas HAM and\nBRAN in handling agrarian conflicts so that these efforts are grounded\nin a human rights-based approach,\u201d Hidayah said.<\/p>\n
