JAKARTA - The National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) provides several notes on the results of the 2024 general election monitoring (election) as material for the future evaluation. Komnas HAM records include the weak commitment to fulfilling the rights of women's groups (such as women and disabilities), the death of election officials who are still quite high, the neutrality of many-questioned state apparatus, as well as the spread of post-election violence conflicts in several regions. On these notes, Komnas HAM conveyed several appeals to parties involved in holding the 2024 election. Komnas HAM urges election participants, both political parties, pairs of candidates and candidates who feel their rights are harmed or rigged in the election process, should use constitutional and in line with legal rules," said Komnas HAM Deputy Chairman Pramono Ubaid Tanthowi in a press release, Friday, March 22, confiscated by Antara.

Komnas HAM also appealed to parties who voiced their voices to convey them peacefully. "Komnas HAM urges those who voice democratic setbacks or election fraud to be expressed in peaceful ways and in line with human rights principles," he said.

In addition, to the security apparatus, Komnas HAM appealed to the security apparatus to respect these parties because according to them, this attitude is part of the right to freedom of opinion and expression. "Therefore, the security forces should respond proportionally and avoid violent approaches, including criminalization and intimidation," said Pramono. Finally, Komnas HAM urges presidential and vice presidential candidates to be elected as well as future governments to continue to use the principles of human rights as the basis for developing development programs, including national strategic projects (PSN). ) Thus, the development process, both in the political, legal and security fields, and social, economic and cultural fields, does not have an impact on human rights violations for citizens, especially vulnerable groups," he said.
