Abstract

This study aims to analyze the dynamics of human rights (HR) complaints in Indonesia by using complaint data from January to June 2025. The research method combines descriptive quantitative analysis including frequency tabulations, proportions, temporal trends, and cross-tabulations with qualitative interpretation based on collaborative governance and public value governance theories. The results show that land disputes constitute the dominant issue, followed by abuses of authority by security forces, labor-related disputes, and environmental concerns. Corporations and security apparatus are identified as the most frequently reported actors, while the geographical distribution of complaints is concentrated in Jakarta, West Java, and North Sumatra, with distinctive patterns observed in Papua and East Kalimantan. Cross-tabulation analysis further reveals the correlation between issues and actors or regions, such as land disputes often involving corporations, and environmental issues prevailing in resource-rich areas. These findings reinforce the empirical literature on human rights complaint management and affirm the relevance of collaborative governance theory in addressing multi-actor conflicts. The study also highlights the importance of metagovernance to orchestrate diverse actors, as well as digital governance innovations to broaden accessibility to complaint channels. The novelty of this research lies in its attempt to connect the empirical dynamics of HR complaints with contemporary governance frameworks, thereby contributing both to the advancement of public administration theory and to the formulation of human rights protection policies in Indonesia
