Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (MA) Prof. Bagir Manan/ANTARA

JAKARTA - Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (MA) for the period 18 May 2001 to 31 October 2008 Prof. Bagir Manan gave a 'graduate' to Harnoto, a candidate for ad hoc judge of human rights (HAM) at the Supreme Court in an open interview selection held by the Judicial Commission. "The ad hoc is the judge or his job," asked Prof. Bagir Manan opened his first question at Harnoto during the selection of ad hoc HAM judges at the Supreme Court in Jakarta, Antara, Thursday, February 2. Harnoto immediately answered this question by answering the judge. After that, Bagir Manan asked about the reasons for the existence of ad hoc human rights judges while there were still ordinary Supreme Court judges. On that question, the active police officer answered that the need for ad hoc HAM judges to the Supreme Court was a mandate from the human rights judicial law, including the mandate of the MPR TAP that the human rights court mandated that there must be an ad hoc judge. In the selection, the former Chairman of the Press Council asked about the object of the human rights court. This is because killing a person's life is also included in the context of violating human rights. "Based on Law Number 26 of 2000 concerning Human Rights Courts, it is emphasized that the object of human rights violations is a gross human rights violation," replied Harnoto. Entering the next question about human rights developments, Harnoto, who currently serves as the 19th Intermediate SPN of the East Java Police, did not seem able to answer Bagir Manan's question properly. To Bagir Manan, Harnoto mentioned the declaration of human rights, but it was immediately refuted by Bagir because it was not in accordance with his question. "It's not the setting, but the object of human rights is experiencing developments. The first generation human rights, second generation human rights, third generation, which one is Bung?" he asked. Harnoto again tried to answer by saying the beginning of the development of the right to human life. In the modern era, development becomes the right to life, political rights, freedom of opinion including social, political and cultural law. Hearing the answer of the ad hoc judge, Bagir Manan immediately straightened it out. He explained the first generation of human rights regarding civil and political rights, the second generation was related to social, economic and cultural and the last generation regarding the community.
