Abstract

Heretofore in Indonesia, cases of gross violation of human rights have faced an indefinite stagnation of justice. Although the Indonesian government has ratified international human rights conventions and enacted its own system of human rights law, such laws have proven unable to fulfill the restoration of justice toward these victims in two particular aspects: convictions against the perpetrators and reparations for the victims. This article focuses on fulfilling the rights of women victims of past gross human rights violations. It will be based on normative legal research by which the existing laws are critically analyzed in order to expose the legal gaps which might have contributed to the inability of these laws to restore justice and the victims’ well-being. Furthermore, the article stresses an urgency upon the enactment of the Sexual Violence Eradication Bill. It contends that the Sexual Violence Eradication Bill is an essential first step for the fulfillment of women victims’ rights, inasmuch as the bill includes an exhaustive mechanism of penal provisions against sexual crimes under various circumstances, including as part of gross human rights violations.

Bahasa Abstract

Di Indonesia, kasus-kasus lampau mengenai pelanggaran berat hak asasi manusia (HAM) masih mengalami stagnasi yang tidak pasti. Meskipun pemerintah Indonesia telah meratifikasi konvensi HAM internasional dan menetapkan hukum HAM-nya sendiri, peraturan-peraturan ini tidak mampu untuk memenuhi keadilan dari para korban berdasarkan dua ketentuan, penghukuman pada pelaku dan mekanisme reparasi terhadap korban. Dari semua kasus-kasus pelanggaran HAM berat, artikel ini berfokus pada pemenuhan hak terhadap perempuan korban pelanggaran HAM berat lampau. Artikel ini didasarkan pada riset hukum normatif dimana hukum yang ada akan dianalisis secara kritis untuk melacak kesenjangan hukum yang berkontribusi pada ketidakmampuan hukum HAM di Indonesia untuk memenuhi keadilan dan kesejahteraan para korban. Selanjutnya, artikel ini menekankan urgensi terhadap penetapan Rancangan Undang-Undang Penghapusan Kekerasan Seksual yang merupakan langkah awal penting terhadap pemenuhan hak perempuan korban pelanggaran berat HAM lampau.
