Abstract
From the Summary:
The Truth Commission Law fails to meet Indonesia’s duties as a State, and fails to respect the rights of victims, families and society under international human rights law to truth, reparations and justice. In particular, the law fails to meet minimum international standards in regard to:
- investigating and disclosing the truth about cases of genocide and crimes against humanity committed in Indonesia before the year 2000,
- providing reparations to victims and families, and
- prosecuting and appropriately punishing perpetrators.
