Despite efforts to combat corruption, the system remains inconsistent, and marginalized groups struggle with limited access to justice. Key unresolved cases like Munir and Novel Baswedan contribute to a sense of impunity. While there are efforts to address corporate crime, legal reforms remain slow, and there is a need for more standardized methods in the system. This stagnation in addressing past violations and slow progress in reform highlights the challenges in achieving meaningful improvements in Indonesia's legal landscape.

Q & A

What is the main issue discussed regarding the stagnation of Indonesia's law enforcement index?

The stagnation of Indonesia's law enforcement index is primarily attributed to inconsistent benchmarks, limited data sources, and challenges in addressing underlying systemic issues in law enforcement. Despite some progress in anti-corruption efforts, broader issues remain unresolved.

How does the speaker suggest improving the assessment of law enforcement in Indonesia?

The speaker suggests that to improve the assessment, we need to evaluate the sources of information used, such as whether data comes from surveys or stronger evidence. Additionally, they stress the importance of standardized methods to assess key areas like corruption and asset recovery.

What does the speaker think about Indonesia's anti-corruption efforts?

The speaker believes that Indonesia has made some progress in anti-corruption efforts, especially in tackling corporate crimes and asset recovery. However, they also note that progress is not consistent, and there is a lack of standardized methods in dealing with corruption cases.

Why does the speaker believe that the legal system in Indonesia is still stagnant?

The speaker argues that the legal system is stagnant because many past issues, such as cases of human rights violations, have not been addressed, leading to a perpetuation of the same problems. They highlight that unresolved cases like the Munir and Novel Baswedan cases continue to hinder progress.

What is the significance of the 0.02% change mentioned in the survey data?

The 0.02% change in the survey data reflects a very minimal improvement, which the speaker argues is not meaningful. This suggests that Indonesia's legal system has not significantly improved according to the World Justice Project's rule of law index.

How does the speaker perceive the effectiveness of the KPK (Corruption Eradication Commission)?

The speaker acknowledges that the KPK has made some achievements but questions its effectiveness due to a lack of focus on larger corruption cases. They suggest that the KPK often handles cases that could be managed by other agencies, which dilutes its impact on high-profile corruption issues.

What role do human rights organizations play in Indonesia's legal system, according to the speaker?

Human rights organizations and legal aid groups, such as LBH (Legal Aid Foundation), are crucial in advocating for marginalized individuals who struggle to access justice. However, the speaker highlights that these organizations face significant challenges in bringing cases to court, especially when the police fail to act on them.

What does the speaker think about the accessibility of justice in Indonesia?

The speaker notes that only a small percentage (8%) of Indonesians can access justice effectively, particularly those from the middle class. For lower-income individuals, the speaker emphasizes that the legal system remains largely inaccessible, leading to a lack of equal protection under the law.

Why does the speaker argue that legal cases are not being resolved in Indonesia?

The speaker believes that legal cases are not being resolved due to a lack of accountability within law enforcement agencies, delayed responses to criminal activities, and a general lack of political will to address past and present injustices. The failure to resolve key cases contributes to a sense of impunity.

What is the speaker's assessment of Indonesia's progress in human rights and justice enforcement?

The speaker argues that despite some incremental progress in areas like anti-corruption, Indonesia's overall human rights and justice enforcement has worsened. They highlight the persistence of unresolved human rights violations and the lack of a coherent strategy to ensure fair and equal justice for all citizens.
