        "summary": "DPR Commission XIII Chair Willy Aditya has clarified that the proposed revision of Indonesia\u2019s Human Rights Law is not a power struggle between government bodies but aims to strengthen protections for citizens. The revision, included in the National Legislative Programme, will involve extensive public consultation, aligning with Komnas HAM\u2019s earlier call to enhance national human rights institutions' effectiveness.",
        "content": "<p>DPR Commission XIII Chair Willy Aditya has asserted that the revision\nof Law No.\u00a039 of 1999 on Human Rights (UU HAM) is not a power struggle\nbetween government institutions.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that the HAM law revision aims to strengthen human rights\nprotections and public interests, and has been included in the DPR\u2019s\nNational Legislative Programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If the HAM law revision is reduced to mere inter-agency\njurisdictional disputes, it would not serve citizens\u2019 interests. We must\nact collectively for the people, not for institutions,\u2019 Willy said in a\nwritten statement.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the existence of the Ministry of Human Rights and\nnational human rights commissions should be an opportunity to advance\nhuman rights in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, he said, the division of duties between ministries and\nindependent bodies must be directed towards improving the quality of\nhuman rights protection for citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, he stated that his commission will open wide public\nparticipation in the revision discussions, with public input and debates\nforming part of the legislative refinement process.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I have been following media reports and informal discussions on the\nHAM law revision. Some aspects are progressive, while others need\nstrengthening or amendment. In the DPR, we will ensure maximum public\ninvolvement,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) had\nrequested that the revision of Law No.\u00a039 of 1999 on Human Rights\nstrengthen the mandate and effectiveness of national human rights\ninstitutions in protection and enforcement.<\/p>",
