President Joko Widodo recently signed and issued Presidential Regulation No. 75 of 2015 on National Human Rights Action Plan (RANHAM) 2015-2019. This continuation from President Yudhoyono’s administration, under Presidential Regulation No. 23 of 2011 contains targets, strategies, and focuses on the priority activities of Indonesian national plan of action regarding human right issues. It will serve as guidelines for ministries, institutions and local governments to honor, protect, fulfill, enforce, and develop human rights in Indonesia.
It is also stated in RANHAM 2015-2019 that ministers, institution chairmen, governors, and regents/mayors are responsible for its implementation based on their respective authority. The funding for RANHAM implementation will be included in state budget for ministries and institutions, while local governments obtain the funding from their respective regional budget.
To ensure the implementation of RANHAM 2015-2019, President Jokowi also establishes a joint secretariat, consisting of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights—as the Chairman, the Ministry of Social Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of National Development Planning/National Development Planning Agency.
The joint secretariat is responsible to coordinate, observe, and evaluate the implementation of RANHAM at the ministerial, institutional, and regional level. Aside from that, the secretariat will submit annual RANHAM implementation reports from the ministries, institutions, and local governments to the President, before publishing the report to the public.
As a supplement, RANHAM 2015-2019 also reveals and evaluates the implementation of the previous RANHAM along with the National Action Plan for People with Disabilities 2004-2013. The formulation and establishment of RANHAM and its working group were collectively conducted by most of the ministries, institutions, and local governments. The results were shockingly disappointing since only very few of the mechanism of coordination, observation, evaluation, and reporting for both National Action Plans were operating effectively.
