Prospek dan Tantangan Implementasi ICCPR

Abstract

Ratification of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) is considered as an important achievement of the human rights struggle in Indonesia. Despite of this progressive episode in the history of human rights development in Indonesia,  the prospect of its implementation  remains uncertain, whereas the victims of human  rights violations in this country still await for the settlement of their cases. The challenges faced by the Indonesian Government to comply with its international  legal obligations has to be dealt with the continuity of legal reform and immediate realization of the provisions in ICCPR as well as the socialization of the Covenant itself In doing so, necessary infrastructure should be provided and further promotion of the Covenant should be advanced.
