Abstract

Human Rights (HAM) are rights possessed by every human being regardless of race, skin color, gender, ethnicity, or religion. They are legally guaranteed in the protection of human rights, which safeguards individuals or groups from actions that violate freedom, dignity, and human worth. One of the instruments of human rights law used as a guideline in implementing human rights norms is explicitly stated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia post-amendment. Among all these articles, Articles 27 and 28 concerning human rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, as well as Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights and Law Number 26 of 2000 concerning Human Rights Courts. The author uses a normative qualitative research method. The data sources used in this research are primary data sources, secondary data sources, and tertiary data sources. In data collection, the technique used was literature study, by examining regulations, books, and materials related to the title of this thesis. The results of this study indicate violations of human rights committed by Densus 88 in the arrest of terrorism suspects, such as the absence of arrest warrants and search warrants, as well as attempts to torture terrorism suspects leading to death. In the matter of counter-terrorism, Densus 88 violates human rights, such as the right to life, the right not to be tortured, deprivation of personal freedom, deprivation of life, and violations of the right to worship.
