Every December 10th, the international communities celebrate World Human Rights Day to honor the adoption and proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). ICJR seeks to raise a concern regarding the Indonesian Government’s commitment to fulfill their obligation under UDHR and other human rights instruments to uphold human rights principles, including the right to life and the right to be free from torture, as disscussed in these two research reports:
(1) Series 2 of the ICJR Thematic Report on Death Penalty “Torture in the Cases of Death Penalty in Indonesia: One Too Many”, and
(2) a study on Recommendation on the Specific Regulations of Fair Trial Rights for People Facing the Death Penalty in the Bill of Criminal Procedure Code.
