Statute of IKOHI

THE STATUTE
OF THE INDONESIAN ASSOCIATION OF FAMILIES OF THE DISAPPEARED (IKOHI)

PREAMBLE

The recognition on basic human rights and freedom is a strong foundation to realize the independence, democracy, and justice. The term of human rights and basic freedom here does not solely concern on norms but belongs to individuals by virtue of their being human. It is not given by the state nor the people, either.

Nowadays, human rights norm protections have been recognized and accepted as a general standard by all nations. As part of the world community, Indonesia has committed and bound itself to it.

In building and developing its people and as a prerequisite to the creation of lawful, democratic and lawful countries, we proclaimed the establishment of Indonesian Association of Families of the Disappeared -known as IKOHI – as an association for the families whose members became the victims of enforced or involuntary disappearances perpetrated by the state because they stood against the ruling regime for defending political, social, economic, and cultural rights. IKOHI also serves as an organization for the victims of crime against humanity in Indonesia.

(As stated in the United Nations Declaration of Protection on All People from Enforced and Involuntary Disappearance)

"Victims" means persons who, individually or collectively, have suffered harm, including physical or mental injury, emotional suffering, economic loss or substantial impairment of their fundamental rights, through acts or omissions that are in violation of criminal laws operative within Member States, including those laws proscribing criminal abuse of power. (Declaration of Basic Principles of Justice for Victims of Crime and Abuse of Power, Adopted by General Assembly resolution 40/34 of 29 November 1985)


(4) Definition of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances
Victims of enforced disappearance are those who directly subjected to the commission of enforced disappearances as defined in Article (2).

(5)
Definition of Human Rights

Human rights means the rights individuals are said to have as human beings and as God’ creation and shall be highly respected and protected by the State, law, government, and every man in respect to the protection of the human dignity. (Article 1, Paragraph 1, Law No. 26/200..).

Since then, IKOHI was assisted by KONTRAS, until October 2002 when finally IKOHI carried out it first congress to complete its organizational structure. In the Congress, IKOHI decided its two priority of programs.

The solving of the cases means the reveal of the truth, the justice for the perpetrators, the reparation and rehabilitation of the victims and the guarantee that such gross violation of human right will never be repeated again in the future.
