JAKARTA - Attorney General Sanitiar Burhanuddin said his party would conduct a general investigation into a number of cases of gross human rights violations to complete the results of the investigation by the National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM).
This is one of the efforts to overcome the deadlock and resolve arrears in cases of severe human rights.
"I believe this policy will break the deadlock and resolve human rights cases that have been in arrears so far," said Burhanuddin in a written statement received in Jakarta, Friday, November 26.
With this general investigation, Burhanuddin is optimistic that arrears in cases of alleged gross human rights violations will be resolved.
According to Burhanuddin, the completion of allegations of gross human rights violations that until now seems to have stopped, and there is no clarity as a result of a perceived deadlock between Komnas HAM investigators and prosecutors' investigators.
He explained that the results of the investigation by Komnas HAM were not perfect to be upgraded to the investigation stage, but the instructions of the prosecutor's investigator to fulfill the mandate of the law were never fulfilled, so that the handling of the case became protracted.
Burhanuddin said that the handling of allegations of gross human rights violations was protracted because the results of the Komnas HAM investigation had not found sufficient evidence to suspect that a person based on an event or situation was a perpetrator of serious human rights crimes.
In addition, investigators have not examined key witnesses and found documents that are expected to explain the elements of crimes against humanity and elements of widespread or systematic attacks as referred to in Article 9 of Law Number 26 of 2000 concerning the Human Rights Court.
"Therefore, in order to provide certainty and justice, and to overcome the impasse that occurred, I as the Attorney General, as a serious human rights investigator, have taken an important policy, namely legal action to conduct general investigations of current gross human rights violations in order to perfect the results of Komnas HAM investigations. ," said Burhanuddin as reported by Antara.
