The government will offer non-judicial solution for the settlement of human rights violation victims in 1965. Attorney General Prasetyo said the government will not be affected by the people’s court for 1965 case held in The Hague today, November 9.
“We have tried to solve this issue. We hope we can solve our problem without outside intervention,” said Prasetyo on Tuesday, November 9.
Prasetyo explained that it would be difficult to gather evidences and witnesses in court, so the non-court solution was chosen. “In order to bring a case to court, everything must be complete. The construction must be clear and perfect. If not, it’s impossible to be held,” he said.
State Secretary Minister Pratikno said in accordance with President Joko Widodo’s instruction, the government is preparing solutions to systematic human rights violations.
Pratikno added that Indonesia need no other international institutions to solve this case. “We have our own legal system. So, the government is working hard to prepare solutions for systematic human rights violations,” he said.
International People’s Tribunal (IPT) for victims of Indonesia’s 1965 massacre is held in The Hague on November 10-13. This court is specifically aimed at the Indonesian government, particularly under Soeharto.
