JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Expert Council of the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team (TKN), Budiman Sudjatmiko, emphasized the importance of Indonesia moving up to class towards human rights discussions. “Indonesia needs to rise to a level of transformative human rights discussions and in accordance with the development of the digital era. When looking at the data, there are so many components of human rights that have not been fully achieved. So that transformative human rights ideas are needed that are very suitable for conveying the vision and mission of Prabowo-Gibran,” Budiman explained in an electronic message received in Jakarta, Tuesday, December 12. Some of the rights in the digital era, explained Budiman, include the right to physical and digital space, the right to digital infrastructure, the right to data, and the right to education and community. Data from the Center for Indonesian Policy Studies (CIPS) in 2022 shows that there are still 73 million people and more than 100,000 thousand schools that do not have internet access. “ This is also the main concern of Paslon number 2. For example, we will make a lot of improvements in the digital sector, including building digital infrastructure evenly up to villages. No village is not accessed by the internet. This is in accordance with Asta Cita 3 at Point 26 on Visi Misi Prabowo Gibran,” he explained. For human rights in general, Budiman assessed that Indonesia under the leadership of President Joko Widodo had improved the value of civil liberties and the implementation of human rights. “ Even Indonesia was chosen to be one of the members of the UN coordination team for human rights as a representative of Asia with Japan and Kuwait. This is Indonesia's success in its committee in carrying out its national and international mandates. ” he explained. However, Indonesia's excellent achievements, continued Budiman, could be a challenge if Indonesia could not move on from past records.

This “ Human Rights discussion in Indonesia is synonymous with human rights in opinion. Issues like this are often played and then become a political commodity that is always played. Even though the challenges are in sight, regarding Digital Rights, for example, we must also prepare. ” explained Budiman.
