Cooperation between Indonesia and the United States on legal matters continues on a positive trajectory and grows stronger following a one-day meeting between Amir Syamsuddin, the Minister of Law and Human Rights, and Eric Holder Jr., the United States Attorney General in Washington DC last Friday.
Both authorities have agreed to strengthen bilateral cooperation on legal issues under the Indonesia-United States comprehensive cooperation framework which commenced in 2010.
A press release issued after the meeting stated that “Both authorities believe that the current agency-to-agency cooperation between Indonesia and the United States is a constructive and effective approach and benefits both parties.”
During the meeting Mr. Syamsuddin and Mr. Holder exchanged views on several legal issues. One issue highlighted by both parties during the meeting was cooperation on the war against terrorism.
Although Indonesia has generally made positive progress in addressing terrorism related issues, further cooperation is needed, particularly on how to further follow up court proceeding for the Marriot bombing in 2009.
Another matter addressed at the meeting and that is seen by both sides as important and in need of further cooperation is the issue of international child abduction in light of The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (International Child Abduction Convention).
Mr. Holder indicated that the US Government is very concerned about issues related to child welfare and believes that stronger cooperation with Indonesia will send a strong message to the international community.
To establish more effective bilateral connections, Mr. Syamsuddin and Mr. Holder are committed to establishing an institution that facilitates cooperation between Indonesia’s Ministry of Law and Human Rights and the US Attorney General’s Office.
As a follow up, both parties agreed to appoint Indonesia’s Minister of Law and Human Rights as the coordinator for law enforcement between the two countries through the Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) and extradition mechanisms.
At the end of the meeting, Indonesia and the US agreed to establish more intense communication at technical levels to realize concrete actions and other opportunities for cooperation on other legal issues.
