Abstract

With the pervasive violations of human rights, including mass atrocities, which happened during the authoritarian New Order administration, the literature on human rights in Indonesia has often been highly critical of the regimes’ human rights record. Indonesia’s regime change in 1998 brought in a more optimistic outlook; successive regimes have shown a stronger commitment to respecting human rights. However, the government still faces challenges in protecting such rights, and in acknowledgement and resolving past gross human rights violations. Consequently, future mass atrocities may not be readily avoided. This study aims to explore Indonesia’s capacity for avoiding future atrocities by evaluating three relevant factors: the influence of the interest-based arguments of the central government elites, the extent to which the idea of ‘sovereignty as responsibility’ has spread among Indonesian governmental institutions, and the role of non-state actors. All of these factors shape Indonesia’s capacity to respond to and prevent any occurrence of mass atrocities in the future.
评估印尼防止大规模暴行的能力
由于独裁的“新秩序”(New Order)执政期间发生了普遍的侵犯人权行为,包括大规模暴行,有关印尼人权的文献常常对该政权的人权记录提出严厉批评。印尼1998年的政权更迭带来了更为乐观的前景;历届政权都表现出更坚定的尊重人权的承诺。然而,政府在保护这些权利、承认和解决过去严重侵犯人权的行为方面仍然面临挑战。因此,未来的大规模暴行可能无法轻易避免。本研究旨在通过评估三个相关因素来探讨印度尼西亚避免未来暴行的能力:中央政府精英基于利益的论点的影响,“主权即责任”的观念在印度尼西亚政府机构中的传播程度,以及非国家行为体的作用。所有这些因素决定了印度尼西亚今后应对和防止任何大规模暴行发生的能力。
