Abstract

The threat of criminal punishment of same-sex relationships has revived in Indonesia. Despite the remarkable improvements that were made in recent years, such as the Yogyakarta principles in 2007 and the organisation of the Jakarta Q-film festival, homophobia has been gradually observed throughout the country. The criminal punishment of both prostitution and homosexuality in the (Islamised) region of Aceh by virtue of local laws (perdas) and incidents such as the raid of a Jakarta gay sauna in late 2017 that resulted in several prosecutions demonstrate that the struggle for non-discrimination and equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) communities is still ongoing in this extremely diverse country. The present paper discusses this situation, highlighting the need for Indonesia to comply with its human rights obligations.

印尼的LGBTI权利：人权视角

对同性关系进行刑事处罚的威胁在印度尼西亚死灰复燃。尽管近年来取得了显著的进步，例如2007年的日惹原则和雅加达Q电影节的组织，但同性恋恐惧症在全国各地逐渐出现。根据当地法律（perdas），亚齐（伊斯兰化）地区对卖淫和同性恋的刑事处罚，以及2017年末雅加达同性恋桑拿浴室遭到突袭等事件，这些事件导致了几起起诉，这表明为女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、，跨性别者和双性人（LGBTI）社区在这个极其多样化的国家仍然存在。本文件讨论了这种情况，强调印度尼西亚必须履行其人权义务。
