JAKARTA - Member of Commission III of the House of Representatives, Arsul Sani, has encouraged Komnas HAM to seek alternative solutions to cases of alleged gross human rights violations in the past. So far, Komnas HAM has only focused on a judicial approach to resolve these problems.

"Why doesn't Komnas HAM not submit alternative proposals for non-judicial solutions in cases of past human rights violations?" Arsul said in a hearing (RDP) with Commission III of the DPR RI at the parliament complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, April 6.

He considered that cases of past human rights violations could not be resolved if they used a judicial approach. For example, the cases of 1965-1966.

"I'm not clear, even though I'm a bit confused. Why? Because we are still talking about resolving human rights violations '65 and '66 using a judicial approach. Even if it is identified, maybe the person has become the street (name) of all sirs in their respective villages. , "said the deputy chairman of the MPR.

If the case is brought up in the judicial process, who will be tried? Because Arsul said, people suspected of violating human rights could have died.

"Why does Komnas HAM not submit a suggestion to the government and the DPR other non-judicial proposals? I cannot imagine the resolution of human rights cases before 1990 such as the mysterious shooting (petrus), Talang Sari, the 1965 case, if you are still alive is it worth going through the legal process. there are other alternative steps, "he said.

Arsul also asked for a breakthrough in this regard. That way, he said, there would be no more cases of cases between the AGO and Komnas HAM.

"As previously explained the tekton between Komnas HAM and the Attorney General's Office. Komnas said it was enough to be raised to the level of investigation, then said that it had not fulfilled the AGO's instructions so that it could not be improved. This must be a breakthrough," said Arsul.

In line with the members of Commission III from the PKS faction, Adang Daradjatun also asked Komnas HAM to make alternatives so that they would no longer be a burden between Komnas HAM management in the future.

"12 events go back and forth between Komnas HAM and the Attorney General's Office. At least there is one alternative solution. If it continues, whoever replaces the father (head of Komnas HAM.red) will be a burden," he said.

Apart from that, member of Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Santoso, also asked Komnas HAM not only to be oriented towards a judicial approach in resolving past human rights cases.

According to him, the enforcement of human rights by Komnas HAM must look at the constitution, culture, and other factors that are the specialty of the institution.

"If that can be done, past cases that are burdensome for this nation can be resolved. Do not always be oriented towards the judicial form but on the other side. Do not be fixated on foreign intervention," said Santoso.
