Communication gaps between members of the legal profession and people outside the profession still leave a lot to be explained. This study investigates the technicality of written legal documents by studying 10 Nigerian Supreme Court rulings, specifically the outcome of cases of human rights violations by the Nigerian military regime. Nine purposively selected excerpts were analysed using generic structure potential elements. The analysis generated nine elements, five of which are obligatory and the other four optional. The obligatory elements are Review of Lower Court Proceedings, Reproduction of Issues, Reference to Authorities, Application of Authorities, and Final Verdict. The optional elements are Review of Facts, Reproduction of Pleadings, Analysis of Evidence, and Analysis of Argument. This study concludes that generic structure potential is a useful theory for demystifying complex texts.

With a historical backdrop that includes authoritarian times and armed conflict, governments are faced with serious challenges. Transitional Theory of Justice offers a framework for addressing these issues through courts, reparations, truth and reconciliation, and institutional reform.

Governments are faced with a dilemma between accountability and reconciliation, with the need to maintain a balance between justice and peace. In addition, it is necessary to consider the political implications of government actions, while institutional reform and sustainable approaches are key in addressing gross human rights violations.

Law was born to provide protection, justice and certainty in every dimension of social and state life, both individuals and groups. In this context, the law provides guarantees and principles of recognition and protection of human rights. This noble goal of the law will be easily realized when the politics of the law is clear. But in reality, the occurrence of human rights violations cannot be denied even though since the beginning the Indonesian state has adhered to the principles of the rule of law and democracy. Cases of human rights violations in the past are debts that must be resolved. Therefore, one of the problems today is how to resolve cases of human rights violations that occurred in the past and how to prepare more responsive legal instruments so that in the future human rights violations, especially those committed by the state, can be avoided. Furthermore, the resolution of past human rights violations is the key to upholding human rights in Indonesia in the future. This is where the political meaning of human rights law in Indonesia is to design more responsive legal regulations. Therefore, to create a more responsive politics of human rights law in Indonesia, we must first examine the journey of human rights in Indonesia through historical research. This is because historical research can reveal how the concept of human rights has been made in the past and how the concept of human rights should be made to build a better future. For this reason, a high commitment is needed from the government to develop the politics of human rights law in Indonesia.

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of routine peaceful actions every Thursday in front of the state palace, which is commonly called the kamisan action. Kamisan itself was motivated by the attitude of the government which kept quietly addressing and following up on violations of Human Rights (HAM) in the archipelago. In this study, the author uses the theory of social action proposed by Kotler 5C, namely Cause, Change Agency, Target Change, Channel, and Change Strategy. The research method used in writing this study is a descriptive research method with a qualitative approach. The results of the study showed that the Victim Solidarity Network for Justice (JSKK) was dominated by victims of justice. Then the target, the first is, so that the president will form a presidential decree related to resolving cases of human rights violations in Indonesia that have not been resolved, and take the initiative to re-run the adhoc court to try suspects who are now free without trial. Then the attorney general is expected to be able to objectively decide the cases of human rights violations that have occurred and have not been resolved as gross human rights violations, and the last is for the DPR to take the initiative to recommend the presidential decree to the president. Finally, the next target is that the community reminds the government in resolving cases of human rights violations in Indonesia. Unfortunately, this kamisan action is still weak in terms of quality and quantity, considering that the coordination between the members of the Kamisan action itself is still weak, supported by the government who is a suspect of impunity, which in the end produces movement goals that are difficult to achieve.

The Role and Authority of Komnas Ham in Handling, Violation and Protection of Human Rights

  • Eko Susanto + 2 more

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Komnas HAM's authority in resolving cases of human rights violations associated with the rule of law. To describe law enforcement efforts to resolve cases of human rights violations in the future to provide legal certainty. The polemic of resolving past gross human rights violations continues to be delayed. The regime in power since the reformation has not been able to solve it because of technical juridical problems and has a special nuance, making it difficult to hold a human rights court for perpetrators in a fair and impartial manner. This research uses a normative juridical research method using written data in statutory regulations (library research) using books, journals and articles as sources. The results of this study first show that Law No. 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights, Komnas HAM, was given 4 powers, namely: investigation, counseling, mediation and assessment. In terms of the authority to investigate, Komnas HAM is given full authority by the Human Rights Act, but this is still lacking if Komnas HAM is not given the authority to investigate at once because after conducting an investigation of human rights violations, usually, these cases will disappear without news and clarity. While the authority in mediation and counseling is appropriate as a form of prevention so that human rights violations do not occur, in carrying out its duties, Komnas HAM should not be intervened by anyone considering its position as an independent state institution.

  • Rommy Patra

<p>Efforts to resolve human rights violations in Indonesia have been failed. It raises the question of the cause of the failure and the solution that must be taken to overcome it. The factors causing the failure of the settlement of human rights violations: (1) weak substance of legislation, especially Law number 26 Of 2000 on the Human Rights Court; (2) issues of authority and institutional relationships that are not synergistic especially between Komnas HAM and the Attorney General; (3) weak political will from the Government. The solution offered in overcoming the failure of the completion of human rights violations: (1) improve the substantial weaknesses in Law number 26 Of 2000 on the Human Rights Court by replacing it through the establishment of a new Act on Human Rights Court; (2) to organize institutional relations between Komnas HAM and the Attorney General in order to be synergistic in handling cases of human rights violations; (3) to re-establish the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (KKR); (4) The ruling government must have strong political will to resolve various cases of human rights violations with the support of civil society groups.</p>

Currently, a nursing hospital is a hospital-level medical institution in which doctors, dentists, or oriental doctors perform medical treatment mainly for inpatients under the Medical Act, and any medical person other than a doctor or oriental doctor can be opened.
 So-called nursing hospitals must inevitably have more than 30 nursing beds and have medical personnel of a certain level or higher. To open a convalescent hospital, permission must be obtained from the mayor/ province governor as prescribed by the Ordinance of the Ministry of Health and Welfare after deliberation by the City/Province Medical Institution Establishment Committee. If not, permission cannot be obtained.
 Currently, patients who are admitted to nursing hospitals are 1. Elderly patients, 2. Chronic patients, and 3. Those who have a recovery period after surgery and injury, and mainly need nursing care. With the enactment of the Medical Act in 1994, the legal concept of nursing hospitals was stipulated. Since the 2000s, the number of elderly nursing hospitals has increased rapidly in tandem with the increase in the elderly population following changes in Korea's demographic structure. In the midst of this, cases of human rights violations of the elderly continue to occur in the stages of entering and leaving nursing hospitals and living stages. The violation of the human rights of the elderly here is related to the violation of basic human rights under the Constitution and, furthermore, to the issue of elder abuse under the Elderly Welfare Act.
 Therefore, in this paper, it is hoped that policies and measures for ensuring and realizing the rights of the elderly are guaranteed and realized through the correct prevention of violations of the human rights of the elderly in nursing hospitals. First, we would like to make legislative proposals on the provision of human rights education regulations, second, the mandatory installation of CCTVs, third, the necessity of expanding medical personnel, and fourth, the unification of management and supervisory bodies for insolvent nursing hospitals.

The purpose of this study is to analyze human rights awareness and cases of human rights violations among North Korean defectors living in Korea and to identify ways to improve domestic human rights-related laws and systems in order to lay a foundation for improving North Korean human rights in preparation for future unification. This is a study to find out. In the case of North Korean defectors, it may not be easy for them to understand the concept of human rights because they lived as North Korean residents before defecting. Therefore, through an understanding of the possibility of human rights violations during the settlement process in South Korea and the human rights that they have been educated and conscious of directly or indirectly after settlement, we newly analyzed the human rights awareness and cases of human rights violations that North Korean defectors have and the human rights that are currently being applied in our country. There is a need to seek ways to improve related laws and systems, while at the same time establishing a foundation to increase human rights awareness among North Korean residents in preparation for future unification. Specifically, based on the survey conducted by the National Human Rights Commission and the Korea Institute for National Unification, the human rights of North Korean defectors are as follows: the right to physical freedom that may be violated during the investigation phase after entering the country; the right to due process in criminal cases; We examine the「Act on Protection and Settlement Support for North Korean Defectors」and the 「Unification Education Support Act」, which specify adaptation education for North Korean defectors after their settlement in the Republic of Korea, and examine the problems of our country's current human rights system for North Korean defectors. The purpose of this study is to suggest legal and institutional improvement measures to foster human rights awareness among North Korean defectors and prepare for unification.

  • Rangga Suganda + 1 more

Human Rights Violation is the act of individuals or groups, including state authorities, who intentionally or unintentionally disregard, restrict, or revoke human rights. Human rights violations committed by the Chinese government against ethnic Uighurs are also occurring in Xinjiang. The presence of human rights violations in Xinjiang is an attempt by the Chinese government to eradicate the Uighur ethnic group's indigenous culture. Also deemed to be rebels, Uighurs have joined international terrorist networks. Consequently, the Chinese government has implemented several actions and policies that are classified as violations of human rights. This study discusses two main issues, namely how cases of violations and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang in the perspective of international law and how the mechanism of settlement of human rights violations that have occurred through the perspective of international law. This research is normative legal research, the sources used are primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The data collection technique is carried out using a literature study technique, and data analysis will be carried out using a normative juridical approach or seeing the law as the norm in society. The results of this study are that among these policies have led to several violations of human rights, ranging from violations of civil and political rights, crimes against humanity, economic discrimination, social, and cultural, to human rights violations against women and children. For this reason, it is very necessary to resolve human rights violations in Xinjiang through international legal instruments, namely the United Nations Charter and the 1998 Rome Statute. Steps that can be taken to resolve human rights violations in Xinjiang are through peaceful resolution of the conflict or through international courts.
