A. Presentation by the State under review

5. It was the first time that two Ministers presented the universal periodic review report

of Indonesia, which had been prepared through an all-inclusive process.

6. Indonesia had successfully held general elections in 2014, in which nearly 186

million people had voted. In April 2017, nearly 42 million people had voted in 101 local

direct elections. All of the elections had been conducted in a free, inclusive and peaceful

manner. Those democratic processes had strengthened the position of human rights in the

DNA of Indonesia.

7. Indonesia highlighted the fourth generation of its National Human Rights Action

Plan, as well as its Law on Persons with Disabilities and its strengthened partnership with

other national human rights institutions.

8. Indonesia welcomed the visit in April 2017 of the Special Rapporteur on the right of

everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health,

during which he was able to gain a comprehensive view of the progress and challenges

faced in Jakarta, West Sumatra, East Nusa Tenggara and Papua. In 2013, the Special

Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of

living, and on the right to non-discrimination in this context had visited Indonesia, where he

had observed the realization of housing-related policy planning.

9. Indonesia had presented a report in July 2012 to the Committee on the Elimination

of Discrimination against Women and in October 2013 to the Committee on the Rights of

the Child. It would present its report to the Committee on the Protection of the Rights of All

Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families in September 2017.

focused on the welfare of the poor, including poverty alleviation and the provision of health

and education facilities for them.

11. The Government had launched an agenda for “developing Indonesia from the

periphery”, focusing on advancing the rights and welfare of those who lived in remote and

frontier areas. The Government had distributed family welfare cards to 15.5 million poor

Indonesian households, smart card to 19.7 million students and health cards to 92.4 million

people. In 2014, the Government had launched a national health insurance scheme with the

objective of covering more than a quarter of a billion Indonesians by 2019.

12. The President was committed to a comprehensive and multifaceted policy to

accelerate development in Papua and West Papua provinces, which would enable the

Papuans to enjoy prosperity on the same basis as their fellow countrymen in other parts of

Indonesia. Moreover, efforts to address the issue of injustice, including alleged human

rights violations in Papua, were under way, including through the establishment in 2016 of

an integrated team under the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security

Affairs, involving the National Commission on Human Rights.

Violence against Children (2016-2020), to advocate for systematic, integrated, evidence-

based and coordinated measures.

17. Indonesia had introduced a law related to the juvenile justice system, a government

regulation on diversion and a presidential regulation on integrated training on the juvenile

justice system, which had changed the approach to dealing with children in conflict with the

law from one of retributive justice to one of restorative justice.

18. Measures to widen access to basic needs, economic, infrastructure and social

services had been strengthened for masyarakat hukum adat communities in Indonesia.

19. The Forum for Interreligious Harmony played a pertinent role as a platform for

dialogue and the promotion of tolerance. Law enforcement had been strengthened to
