Indonesia and the International Bill of Rights: role and implementation
type: CreativeWork
description: The International Bill of Rights: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, are the very foundation of international human rights law. The paramount and legal significance of these instruments are unquestionable both at international and national levels. This thesis aims to identify the role and influence of Indonesia in the drafting of the International Bill of Rights and to assess Indonesia’s implementation and compliance with the standard set forth under the provided reporting system. The Optional Protocols to the Covenants are not discussed in the thesis as Indonesia is not a State party to the Optional Protocols as of today. This thesis departs from two research questions: what is the standpoint, position, and role of Indonesia in the drafting of the International Bill of Rights; and does Indonesia accept the International Bill of Rights and comply with the standard of implementation set forth under the periodic reports. In answering the research questions, the thesis is divided into two parts. The First Part focuses on the role of Indonesia in the drafting of the International Bill of Rights. The thesis first establishes the Indonesian concept of human rights which became the basis for Indonesia in approaching the International Bill of Rights. The thesis then continues to examine the role, view and position of Indonesia in the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenants on Human Rights. It examines, article by article, the position and role played by Indonesia in each provision of the International Covenants on Human Rights. The Second Part of the thesis analyses Indonesia’s implementation and compliance with the standard set forth under the periodic reports provided for the International Bill of Rights, including the Universal Periodic Review.
