List of Acronyms Final Report Introduction Introduction and Acknowledgements Following an invitation from the National Election Commission of Indonesia (KPU), the European Union deployed an Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) to Indonesia to observe the Legislative and Presidential Elections. The decision to deploy the EU EOM was taken following an Exploratory Mission carried out in October 2003 and reflected the ongoing interest of the European Union in Indonesia. This was the second Election Observation Mission carried out by the EU in Indonesia, after the observation of the General Elections in 1999. Mr. Glyn Ford (UK), a Member of the European Parliament and member of the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy Committee, was appointed as Chief Observer of the EU EOM in Indonesia. In addition to the Chief Observer, the EU EOM had a core team of experts: Deputy Chief Observer, Oskar Lehner (Austria); Election Expert, Domenico Tuccinardi (Italy), Legal Experts, Alexis Michel (France) and Renata Tardioli (Italy); Country Expert, Frank Feulner (Germany); Media Expert, Gillian McCormack (United Kingdom); Press Officer, Sarah Fradgley (United Kingdom); LTO Coordinator, Fabio Bargiacchi (Italy); LTO Coordinator Assistants Michel Paternotre (Belgium) and Rosie Rahamim (United Kingdom); Operations Expert, Scipion du Chatenet (France); Operations Expert Assistant, Alessandro Parziale (Italy); and Security Adviser, Robert Berneheim (Sweden).1 The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) was the Service Provider, responsible for providing logistical and administrative support to the EU EOM. The purpose of the EU Election Observation Mission to Indonesia, as well as that of other EU EOMs around the world, is to provide support for the development of a country’s democratic institutions and procedures, and to assist partner countries in their objective to hold elections of a high standard. The key objectives of the Election Observation Mission were to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the electoral process and to offer an impartial and informed assessment of the elections. In addition, through the presence of observers, the mission sought to strengthen the confidence of voters to participate freely. In its conclusions, the mission was guided by seven criteria on democratic elections. In order to apply the same standards for election observation, the European Union adopted the following election assessment criteria in 2000: • The degree of impartiality shown by the Election Administration; • The degree of freedom of political parties and candidates to assemble and express their views; • The fairness of access to state resources made available for the election; • The degree of access for political parties and candidates to the media, in particular the state media; • The universal franchise afforded to voters; • Any other issue which concerns the democratic nature of the election (e.g. campaign violence, rule of law, legislative framework); • The conduct of polling and counting of votes. Regular meetings were held throughout the country with election officials, political parties, candidates, other observer groups, national and international non-governmental organisations and the media at the national, provincial and village levels. The EU EOM also held weekly meetings with representatives of the EU Member States in Indonesia. 1 Michel Paternotre was LTO Assistant for the Indonesian Legislative Elections. For the Presidential Elections, Alessandro Parziale moved from Operations to LTO Coordination. Frank Feulner left the Mission after the first round of the Presidential Elections. Renata Tardioli took over from Alexis Michel as Legal Expert for the second round of the Presidential Elections. 5 Final Report Introduction During the campaign for the 5 April Legislative Elections, the EU EOM deployed 231 observers to follow the process in all 32 provinces. Initially, there were delays in receiving permission for EU observers to be deployed to Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD), Maluku, North Maluku and Papua, with the result that it was only possible to conduct short-term observation in these provinces. There was also a small delay in receiving permission to visit these areas during the first round Presidential Elections. For the second round, EU EOM observers were deployed without delay to those areas. For the first round of the Presidential Elections on 5 July, the EU EOM deployed 232 LTOs and STOs, and for the second round on 20 September, 224 observers were deployed.

Compilation © 2016 Washington International Law Journal Association THE RISE AND FALL OF HISTORIC CHIEF JUSTICES: CONSTITUTIONAL POLITICS AND JUDICIAL LEADERSHIP IN INDONESIA By Stefanus Hendrianto † Abstract : In the decade following its inception, the Indonesian Constitutional Court has marked a new chapter in Indonesian legal history, one in which a judicial institution can challenge the executive and legislative branches. This article argues that judicial leadership is the main contributing factor explaining the emergence of judicial power in Indonesia. This article posits that the newly established Indonesian Constitutional Court needed a strong and skilled Chief Justice to build the institution because it had insufficient support from political actors. As the Court lacked a well- established tradition of judicial review, it needed a visionary leader who could maximize the structural advantage of the Court.

  • Bab Ii Pemikiran Mahfud Md Dalam Memaknai Konstitusi Dan Demokrasi
    BAB II PEMIKIRAN MAHFUD MD DALAM MEMAKNAI KONSTITUSI DAN DEMOKRASI A. Biografi Mahfud MD 1) Asal Nama Mahfud MD Mahfud MD lahir di Sampang Madura pada tanggal 13 Mei 1957. Tepatnya di Desa Rapah, Kecamatan Omben. Kabupaten Sampang. Ayahnya bernama Mahmodin, ibunya bernama Khadijah. 1 Sebenarnya Mahmodin dan Khadijah berasal dari daerah Pegantenan. Pamekasan, tetapi karena Mahmodin bekerja sebagai pegawai negeri sipil di kantor pemerintah daerah, maka tempat tugasnya sering berpindah- pindah sesuai dengan penugasan oleh pemerintah. Saudara- saudara, Mahfud MD yang berjumlah 7 orang dilahirkan di tempat yang berbeda-beda. Saat diangkat menjadi pegawai negeri sipil, Mahmodin, di beri nama baru menjadi Mahmodin 1 Masduki Baidlowi dan Rizal Mustari, Mafud MD Bersih dan Membersihkan, (Jakarta: Murai Kencana, 2013), h.37. 29 30 alias Emmo Prawirotruno. Awal-awal kemerdekaan, sebelum ada badan administrasi kepegawaian negara sehingga siapa saja yang ingin menjadi pegawai tinggal menyebut nama atau menerima nama yang diberikan oleh atasannya. Mahmodin hanyalah lulusan sekolah rakyat zaman Belanda yang tamat hanya sampai kelas 5. Tetapi Mahfud MD mengatakan, tulisan ayahnya yang hanya lulus kelas 5 sangatlah bagus. Pada saat Mahmodin bertitugas di kecamatan Omben, Kabupaten Sampang itkah Mhafud MD di lahirkan. Ketika dilahirkan nama yang diberikan oleh ayahnya adalah Muhammad Mahfud saja, tidak ada inisial MD di belakangnya. Ketika Mahfud MD berusia sekitar dua bulan, ayahnya pindah tugas ke Pameksaan, tepatnya di kecamatan Waru, yakni 30 km sebelah utara kota Pameksaan. Di Waru inilah masa kecil Mahfud MD dilewati sampai berumur 12 tahun. Mahmodin dikaruniai 9 orang putera dan putri tetapi yang hidup hanya ada 7 orang yaitu Dhaifatun (Mbak Ifah), Maihasanah (Mbak Mai), Zahrotun (Mbak Zah), kemudian Mohammad Mahfud (Mahfud MD), Siti Honainah (Dik Ina), Achmad Subki (Dik Uki), dan 31 Siti Marwiyah (Dik Yat).

Rivin, Chair Hugh D. Spitzer, Co-Chair Walter J. Walsh Mark E. Cammack Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Law ©Copyright 2017 Andy Omara University of Washington Abstract Protecting Economic and Social Rights in a Constitutionally Strong form of Judicial Review: The Case of Constitutional Review by the Indonesian Constitutional Court Andy Omara Chair and Co-Chair of the Supervisory Committee Professor Beth E. Rivin and Professor Hugh D. Spitzer School of Law The 1999-2002 constitutional amendments to Indonesia’s Constitution inserted some important features of a modern constitution. These include the introduction of a comprehensive human rights provision and a new constitutional court. This dissertation focuses on these two features and aims to understand the roles of this new court in protecting economic and social rights (ES rights). It primarily analyzes (1) factors that explain the introduction of a constitutional court in Indonesia, (2) the Court’s approaches in conducting judicial review of ES rights cases, (3) Factors that were taken into account by the Court when it decided cases on ES rights, and (4) the lawmakers’ response toward the Court’s rulings on ES rights. This dissertation reveals that, first, the introduction of a constitutional court in Indonesia can be best explained by multiple contributing factors –not a single factor.

  • Politics in Indonesia: Resilient Elections, Defective Democracy
    Politics in Indonesia: Resilient Ben Bland elections, defective democracy April 2019 POLITICS IN INDONESIA: RESILIENT ELECTIONS, DEFECTIVE DEMOCRACY The Lowy Institute is an independent policy think tank. Its mandate ranges across all the dimensions of international policy debate in Australia — economic, political and strategic — and it is not limited to a particular geographic region. Its two core tasks are to: • produce distinctive research and fresh policy options for Australia’s international policy and to contribute to the wider international debate • promote discussion of Australia’s role in the world by providing an accessible and high-quality forum for discussion of Australian international relations through debates, seminars, lectures, dialogues and conferences. Lowy Institute Analyses are short papers analysing recent international trends and events and their policy implications. The views expressed in this paper are entirely the author’s own and not those of the Lowy Institute. POLITICS IN INDONESIA: RESILIENT ELECTIONS, DEFECTIVE DEMOCRACY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On the eve of historic elections, a conundrum lies at the heart of Indonesian politics. Successive governments have built one of the most important foundations of a successful democracy: free, fair, and peaceful elections. However, while its electoral procedures are robust, Indonesian democracy is increasingly defective in other areas. President Joko Widodo, who is the favourite to be elected again in April, rose to power thanks to the competitive nature of Indonesian elections. Yet, he has proven to be a poor guardian of democracy. Jokowi, as he is known, has sought compromises with corrupt politicians and intolerant religious leaders, and surrounded himself with former generals with little commitment to democratic principles.

  • Religious and Pro-Violence Populism in Indonesia: the Rise and Fall of a Far-Right Islamist Civilisationist Movement
    religions Article Religious and Pro-Violence Populism in Indonesia: The Rise and Fall of a Far-Right Islamist Civilisationist Movement Greg Barton 1, Ihsan Yilmaz 1,* and Nicholas Morieson 2 1 Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation, Faculty of Arts and Education, Melbourne Burwood Campus, Deakin University, Melbourne 3125, Australia; [email protected] 2 Institute for Religion, Politics, and Society, Australian Catholic University, Melbourne 3065, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The first quarter of the twenty-first century has witnessed the rise of populism around the world. While it is widespread it manifests in its own unique ways in each society, nation, and region. Religious populism, once rarely discussed, has come to take a more prominent role in the politics of a diverse range of societies and countries, as religious discourse is increasingly used by mainstream and peripheral populist actors alike. This paper examines the rise of religious populism in Indonesia through a study of the widely talked about, but little understood, Islamic Defenders Front (FPI—Front Pembela Islam). The case study method used to examine the FPI provides a unique insight into a liminal organization which, through populist and pro-violence Islamist discourse and political lobbying, has had an outsized impact on Indonesian politics. In this paper, we identify the FPI as an Islamist civilizationist populist group and show how the group frames Indonesian domestic political events within a larger cosmic battle between faithful and righteous Muslims and the forces that stand against Islam, whether they be “unfaithful Muslims” or non-Muslims.

The unclear prospect of post-Soeharto reform and the chaotic situation caused by various conflicts throughout Indonesia have also motivated me to examine the response of the Indonesian military, which since the formation of the country has been viewed as the loyal guardian of the state. The idea for this dissertation came up in mid-2001, after the sudden fall of the first democratically elected civilian regime of Abdurrahman Wahid. However, the project could only begin in 2004 after I had received a positive response from the representative of the Hanns Seidel-Stiftung in Jakarta, Mr. Christian Hegemer, about my PhD scholarship for the study at Albert-Ludwigs Universität Freiburg (University of Freiburg).

Nardi, Jr. 2018 For the lawyers advocating on behalf of legal reform and social justice in Indonesia. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Despite the popular stereotype of the lonely scholar toiling away in the Ivory Tower, throughout my time at the University of Michigan I found that great scholarship requires the support of a community. I benefitted from the academic insights, financial assistance, and emotional support of numerous people around the world during the past seven years. First and foremost, I would like to thank the members of my dissertation committee, who have guided and put up with me for almost half a decade. It has been a honor for me to work with such an extraordinary group of scholars. When I first arrived at the University of Michigan, several students told me that I was fortunate to focus on Southeast Asia because I would have the opportunity to work with Allen Hicken. Allen has been incredibly supportive over the years, both as a dissertation chairman and as a mentor. He helped me navigate the sometimes intimidating world of academia and made me feel I wasn't alone in this endeavor.

  • Indonesia 2020 International Religious Freedom Report
    INDONESIA 2020 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution provides a guarantee of freedom of religion and the right to worship according to one’s own beliefs but states citizens must accept restrictions established by law to protect the rights of others and, as noted in the constitution, to satisfy “just demands based upon considerations of morality, religious values, security, and public order in a democratic society.” Individuals continued to be detained and received prison sentences for violations of blasphemy laws. In April, police arrested individuals across the country for blasphemy related to social media uploads that included altered lyrics to a popular song about the wife of the Prophet Muhammad. Some local governments imposed local laws and regulations restricting religious observance, such as regulations banning Shia or Ahmadi Islamic practice. In Aceh Province, authorities continued to carry out public canings for sharia violations, such as selling alcohol, gambling, and extramarital affairs, including caning a woman, who received 200 strokes for her extramarital affairs with two men, who each received 100 strokes for their involvement. In Riau Province, a local community had been preventing renovations at a Catholic church until President Joko Widodo’s cabinet became involved in February and mediated the dispute to ensure the renovations could begin. At the national level, government and religious leaders cooperated closely in developing restrictions to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. However, some disputes occurred between government authorities and religious groups at the local level. In December, a joint ministerial decree outlawed the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), a group known to observers for violence and religious intolerance, for its violations of law.
