Human rights are the rights possessed by everyone regardless of race, colour, gender, ethnicity, religion, language, gender, religion and politics. Human rights are legally guaranteed by human rights law which protects the individual or groups from acts that violate the freedom and the dignity of humanity. One of the human rights law instruments which has been used as a reference in implementing the human rights norms is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 which has been formulated by the United Nations and adhered to as an international norm by countries around the world. To uphold human rights, the Indonesian government has passed the Undang-Undang No. 26 Tahun 2000 tentang Pengadilan HAM. One of the problems that still hamper for years is the legal settlements of human rights cases in Indonesia. Along with the development of democracy in Indonesia, one of the urgent issues in the Government is the legal settlement and the law enforcement efforts to solve various cases of gross violation of human rights which have been neglected for years due to the government’s insufficiency in resolving the cases. The efforts in human rights protection and human rights law enforcement became a State’s obligation to all of the Indonesian people to ensure the implementation of their fundamental rights.
