'Reconciliation knows no limit': Minister<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: All human rights cases that cannot be settled in
\ncourt should be presented to the reconciliation commission
\nregardless of what year the abuses took place, a minister says.<\/p>\n
In order to avoid confusion, however, Minister of Justice and
\nHuman Rights Yusril Ihza Mahendra said on Thursday that cases
\nprior to Aug. 17, 1945 should not be presented to the commission.<\/p>\n
The commission has yet to be set up.<\/p>\n
He made the statement at a hearing with the House of
\nRepresentative's special commission in charge of deliberating the
\nbill on the truth and reconciliation commission (KKR).<\/p>\n
He said reconciliation would help the nation have a better
\nfuture.<\/p>\n
Yusril said that human rights abuses in the country would be
\nbrought to court as long as there was enough evidence and
\nwitnesses. \"And of course, if it is clear who the suspect is,\"
\nYusril said.<\/p>\n
But if the evidence and the witnesses were not clear, the
\nhuman rights abuses would be settled through the commission, he
\nsaid. - JP<\/p>",
