# Coordinating Ministry for Legal, Human Rights, Immigration, and Correction

The Coordinating Ministry for Legal, Human Rights, Immigration, and Correction is an Indonesian ministry that coordinates administration of laws, human rights, immigration, and correction. Previously named Ministry of Law and Human Rights, it changed to Coordinating Minister by Prabowo Subianto. It has been responsible for the president and led by the Coordinating Minister of Legal, Human Rights, Immigration, and Correction, Yusril Ihza Mahendra, since 20 October 2024.

## History
### Nomenclature

The Ministry of Law and Human Rights was established on 19 August 1945 as the Department of Justice (Departemen Kehakiman). The preceding agency in the Dutch Colonial Era was Dutch: Departemen Van Justitie, based on Herdeland Yudie Staatblad No. 576. In 2001–2004, this ministry was known as the Department of Law and Legislation (Departemen Hukum dan Perundang-undangan). From 2004–2009, this ministry was known as the Department of Law and Human Rights (Departemen Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia). Since 2009, it has been known as the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights (Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia).

### Responsibility

The Department of Justice, as of 1945, was responsible for matters of court, jail, and attorneys. Its responsibilities were expanded to include the Attorney and Topography Agency in 1945. However, the Topography Agency was transferred to the Department of Defense in 1946. The creation of the Department of Religious Affairs resulted in the transfer of the Islamic High Court (Mahkamah Islam Tinggi) to a new department on 3 January 1946. Since 22 July 1960, the office of Attorney General has been elevated into a position that is equal to a ministerial office. Thus, the Attorney General has been independent of the Minister of Justice since then. The transfer of the General Court (Peradilan Umum) and State Administration Court (Pengadilan Tata Usaha Negara) to the Supreme Court (Mahkamah Agung) was started in 1999 and finished on 31 March 1999. Thus, the Ministry has different responsibilities.

### Elevation and Division

Until the Onward Indonesia Cabinet, the ministry was named the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, which primarily focused on coordinating, managing, and developing state matters in legal affairs, human rights affairs, immigration, and correction. Due to the broad focus and responsibilities of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights on the Red and White Cabinet, President Prabowo Subianto split the Ministry of Law and Human Rights into four ministries:
* Coordinating Ministry for Legal, Human Rights, Immigration, and Correction (coordinating ministry)
* Ministry of Law (technical ministry)
* Ministry of Human Rights (technical ministry)
* Ministry of Immigration and Correction (technical ministry)
