Starting From 2022, The Birthday Of The Ministry Of Law And Human Rights Will Fall On August 19, Yasonna Laoly: Based On Facts And Valid Sources!

JAKARTA - Minister of Law and Human Rights (Menkumham) Yasonna Hamonangan Laoly said the determination of the Kemenkumham's birthday on August 19 or Dharma Karya Dhika Day was an effort to straighten history.

"We have no other intentions except to return to true history," Yasonna said at the commemoration of the 76th Dharma Karya Dhika Day in Jakarta, Antara, Saturday, October 30.

Moreover, continued Yasonna, the determination of the ministry's birthday did not mean or intend not to respect what the Minister of Justice had previously decided. It just returns to the correct history. "Once again this is to straighten history," said Yasonna.

On that occasion, Yasonna read the script for determining the birthday of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. The decision was made after a study, historical investigation, authentic evidence, and interviews with several legal experts were carried out to find out exactly when the relevant ministry was born.

"Based on historical facts, authentic information documents, valid sources, and the truth can be accounted for, we set the birthday of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights on August 19, 1945," said the Professor of Criminology at the Police Science College (PTIK).

Furthermore, the birthday of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights is referred to as Dharma Karya Dhika Day which is commemorated every August 19 every year, he said.

"Starting in 2022, Dharma Karya Dhika Day will be commemorated every August 19," he said.

Yasonna invited the ranks of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights to make Dharma Karya Dhika Day a momentum for evaluation, introspection, affirmation of steps to continue working, creating and ensuring that the interests of the community, nation and state are served.

"Continue to create new breakthroughs, prove that the performance of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights provides direct benefits for the community," he said.
