JAKARTA - The Selection Committee Team (Pansel) for the Candidate Commissioner of Komnas HAM stated that Remigius Sigid Tri Hardjanto must give up his status as an active member of the National Police if elected as Commissioner of Komnas HAM.
"It must be in an inactive state," said the Head of the Committee for the Candidate Committee for the National Human Rights Commission, Prof. Makarim Wibisono when contacted in Jakarta, Friday, June 3.
Makarim does not deny that currently Remigius Sigid Tri Hardjanto is an active member of the Bhayangkara Corps. His current position in the National Police is Head of the Police Legal Division.
However, he said, it was noted that Remigius Sigid Tri Hardjanto would enter retirement in the near future.
On the one hand, Makarim is aware that the public is focusing on active members of the National Police who have passed the selection for Komnas HAM commissioners.
However, based on Antara's report, Makarim explained, referring to Law Number 39 of 1999 Article 84 B concerning Human Rights it is stated that the commissioner candidates selected have experience as judges, prosecutors, police or from other legal institutions, he said.
In fact, he continued, there are no rules or prohibitions against active members of the National Police from participating in the selection of candidates for commissioners for Komnas HAM.
"There is no such rule. In fact, in the past we had a commissioner for the National Human Rights Commission from the police, namely Inspector General (Purn) Koesparmono," he said.
According to him, while serving as commissioner of Komnas HAM, Inspector General (Purn) Koesparmono worked well as expected by human rights activists.
Separately, Komnas HAM Commissioner Sandrayati Moniaga said that in Law Number 39 of 1999 elements of all parties were allowed to register, including from the government.
However, if referring to the Paris Principles a document referred to by the United Nations, officials or retirees should not register.
The reason, he explained, is that Komnas HAM is an independent institution tasked with overseeing the implementation of state functions as the holder of the obligation to fulfill, enforce and promote human rights.
"So, the ones sitting at Komnas HAM should be independent parties from the government," he said.
He hopes that the selection committee team can take a deeper look at who really deserves to be the commissioner of the National Human Rights Commission for the period 2022 to 2027.
"Of course it concerns intellectual capacity, academics, integrity and independence," he said.
