How We Work
1. Judicial Reform and Access to Justice Program
- Bapas in the function of non-custodial criminal sanctions and reintegration
The Correctional Services Office (Bapas) is the first point of contact that conducts community assessments to recommend non-custodial sentencing options to prosecutors and judges. Therefore, it is necessary to provide guidance and strengthen the functions, roles, and capacities of the staff who conduct these community assessments, including internal regulations for conducting such assessments related to non-custodial sentencing. - The Judicial Commission in its oversight role (improving KEPPH enforcement mechanisms) and providing assistance in analyzing rulings on sexual violence crimes
Pusham UII has begun conducting a study of the KEPPH as stipulated in the Joint Decree of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia and the Chairperson of the Judicial Commission of the Republic of Indonesia No. 047/KMA/SKB/IV/2009 and No. 02/SKB/P. KY/IV/2009 regarding the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct for Judges, as well as the Joint Regulation of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia and the Judicial Commission of the Republic of Indonesia No. 2 of 2012 regarding Guidelines for the Enforcement of the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct for Judges. The recommendation of this study is that it is necessary to develop instruments and indicators for the implementation of the Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct for Judges (KEPPH) to ensure convenience and fairness in the implementation of the Judicial Commission’s functions. Additionally, in the context of access to justice, Pusham UII is assisting the Judicial Commission in annotating court decisions on sexual violence crimes. - Rule of Law: Yogyakarta Special Region Legal Index
Pusham UII conducted a rule of law index specifically for the DIY region, measuring the perceptions of the people of DIY regarding law enforcement by the police, the prosecutor’s office, and the courts. This research has already begun using the Faculty of Law’s research scheme (Outcome-Based Research). - Providing legal experts for human rights cases outside Java through the establishment and strengthening of human rights study centers at universities
Continuing the program with the NCHR to conduct training for university lecturers and judges on methods for mainstreaming human rights in criminal, civil, and administrative cases.
2. Business and Human Rights Program
- The availability of evidence-based tools and data on the damaging impacts of extractive business activities and TGSL to civil society, the performance of corporations related to extractive businesses and TGSL in respecting human rights, and the state’s performance in protecting human rights—which can serve as a reference for strengthening civil society movements and solidarity to pursue accountability for human rights from the state and corporations.
