  • The Case of Human Rights Violations Against Munir Who Has Never Found the Bright Spot
    วารสารการบริหารการปกครองและนวัตกรรมท้องถิ่น : ปีที่ 4 ฉบับที่ 1 (2563) : มกราคม-เมษายน JOURNAL OF LOCAL GOVERNANCE AND INNOVATION : Vol. 4 No. 1 (2020) : JANUARY-APRIL 307 The Case of Human Rights Violations Against Munir Who Has Never Found the Bright Spot Novia Hidayah Kartika1, Siwach Sripokangkul2 and Awan Setia Dharmawan3, Received : February 28, 2020; Revised : April 7, 2020; Accepted : April 12, 2020 Abstract Munir was a human right activist who was born in Malang, East Java. Munir died on board when Munir left for the Netherlands with the aim of studying for his Master’s degree. The goal was to continue his master degree majoring in in law and update his knowledge so that his jurisprudence is always beneficial to others. Munir was always able to solve his cases and there were many cases of human rights violations that were defended and succeeded. Friends and former enemies were amazed by Munir because he was a good figure aside of Munir’s handling his case. Unfortunately the case itself has not yet been given a bright spot like how Munir died, what was the guise the murder, who actually killed was not yet clear. Research is descriptive and tends to use analysis. The process and meaning (subject perspective) is more highlighted in qualitative research. The theoretical foundation is used as a guide so that the focus of research is in accordance with the facts in the field. Besides this theoretical foundation is also useful to provide a general description of the research background and as a material discussion of research results.

President Yudhoyono, who has himself described Munir's case as a "test of our history" has just one year of his presidency remaining, in which to ensure full justice and reparations are delivered. The President's failure so far to do so, at a time the protection of human rights defenders across the country remains seriously under threat, raises serious questions about his legacy. One of Indonesia's most prominent human rights campaigners, Munir took up the cause of dozens of activists who had been subjected to enforced disappearance. He co-founded two human rights organizations, helped to uncover evidence of military responsibility for human rights violations in Aceh, Papua and Timor-Leste (formerly East Timor), and made recommendations to the government on bringing high-ranking officials to justice.
