Abstract

This study seeks to offer insight into the paradox between two ideologies that are currently being promoted in society and identify the relationship of both towards the indigenous community of the Ifugao in the Philippines. Inclusion is a growing trend in many areas such as education, business and development. However, there is ambiguity in terms of educating and promoting inclusion for indigenous groups, particularly in the Philippines. Mandates to promote cultural preservation also present limits to the ability of the indigenous people to partake in the cultures of mainstream society. The people of the Ifugao, together with other indigenous tribes in the Philippines, are at a state of disadvantage particularly due to the discrepancies between the rights that they receive relative to the more urbanized areas of the country. The divided vantages from the desire to preserve their culture and to become inclusive in delivering equal rights and services seems to present a rift and a dilemma on which ideology to promulgate. Apart from the imbalances, the stand of the Ifugao regarding this matter is unclear, particularly if they observe and follow a central principle. Given the notions of inclusion to accommodate everyone regardless of “race, gender, disability, ethnicity, social class, and religion, it is highly imperative to provide clarity to this issue, and identify what actions to take regarding them. The study aims to understand how they are perceived, implemented and integrated and shall look for manifestations in three areas of the Ifugao, namely the Lamut, Lagawe, and Banaue. The study uses a qualitative-case study design, obtaining data through a review of documents and policies, interviews and observations in order to identify the current status of both ideologies in terms of implementation, integration and acceptance for the Ifugao people in the Philippines.

Abstract

This paper seeks to see how the Qanun Jinayah discriminates against women who are victims of rape. In Qanun Jinayah in article 52, paragraph 1, explain that the victim of rape must include evidence at the time of report. The Qanun Jinayah clearly makes a double burden on the victims where women victims of rape must present evidence and witnesses. Whereas in the criminal law (KUHP), evidence and witnesses are the responsibility of the investigator. This study seeks to see how the discriminatory impacts experienced by victims (women) after the Qanun Jinayah is implemented. Furthermore, this paper uses qualitative method with in-depth interview. The hypothesis of this paper is that Qanun Jinayah has discriminated against women especially the victims of rape and this allows the occurrence of injustice and violation of human rights.

Abstract

The Southern Philippines is known as one of the areas that never get out of conflict. Even in 2017 the public was shocked by the emergence of the Maute group in Marawi which affiliated with ISIS or Daesh transnational terrorists. They undertake a lot of human rights violations such as kidnapping and murder. In addition, terrorist groups that have existed before like Abu Sayyaf often operate by crossing several Southeast Asian countries waters boundary, so the problem is transformed into a regional issue. To face this problem, the Philippines government formed a Muslim special unit in their military power. On the one hand, it’s has a positive impact: (1) Religious and cultural approach will open up a larger dialogue space compared to a conventional military approach; (2) More adaptable and diffuse to gain local community support; and (3) Greatly facilitate coordination and cooperation with the military of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam as a country with Muslim majority population. But on the other hand, it’s also has a negative impact: (1) Potential emergence of factions within the military or gap between the Muslim units with other soldier; and (2) Reinforcing the stigma that Muslims are terrorists and must be fought with hard-core Muslim behind military uniform.

Abstract

Abstract This paper aims to interrogate the representation of identities of sexual minorities, also known as LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer), on Magdalene.co, an Indonesia-based feminist web magazine which provides a slanted guide to women and issues and offers and engages with fresh perspectives beyond traditional gender and cultural confines. The representation of sexual minorities is observed through a selection of six published articles written by editorial members and from contributors’ submissions, varying in age, gender, self-identification as sexual minorities, and degree of anonymity. The articles are analysed via discourse analysis, primarily based on discourse theory by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. Also, incorporated into the analysis are Adrienne Rich’s theory of politics of location to look at bodies of sexual minorities, and Gilbert Herdt’s(2009) concept of sexual panic to look at the increasing religious-conservatism in Indonesia in contrast to the sexuality of sexual minorities. Through this research, I aim to examine the ways in which the representation of sexual minorities in the media opens a space of resistance against heteronormative public discourse.

Abstract

Since the 1970s Indonesia has been a transit country for refugees searching for resettlement. While it has not signed the 1951 Refugee Convention, Indonesia does allow the UNHCR to operate within its borders. Furthermore, Indonesian President Joko Widodo recently pledged humanitarian assistance to Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. This paper asks what motivates Indonesia to assist refugees, despite not being a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention? What principles underlie Indonesia’s approach to refugees? Based on interviews conducted with government officials, practitioners, activists and academics in Indonesia, this paper finds that Indonesia is guided by Pancasila (Indonesia’s state ideology) and the preamble to its constitution in playing a humanitarian role in international society. At the same time, however, this humanitarian imperative is in tension with pragmatism. This means that there are a number of problems for refugee protection in Indonesia. This paper argues that while Indonesia is driven by humanitarian ideals in assisting refugees, it must sign the 1951 Refugee Convention to endorse its commitment to Pancasila and the preamble to the constitution, otherwise it risks using these foundations as simply pencitraan, or ‘window dressing’. Keywords: Indonesia, refugees, Pancasila

Abstract

Millions of the most deprived people worldwide live in slums with a lack of access to adequate water, hygiene and sanitation. Inadequate housing and living conditions increase vulnerability to other problems. For example, people living on the river banks in Jakarta regularly experience flooding due to adverse environmental conditions. Not only do the river bank settlements suffer from floods, but also other settlements as well as offices in Jakarta encounter similar effects. These regular floods cause billions of Indonesian Rupiah’s (IDR) in damages annually. As part of flood prevention programmes, the Jakarta government has evacuated and emptied the river bank settlements and has relocated the residents to rented, public high-rise housing provided by the municipality. This article will not address the legal issues of the relocation. Rather, it will examine whether relocation and resettlement due to development programmes can be addressed from a different perspective focusing on human rights as a means to eliminate poverty. It will also investigate the available accountability mechanisms at both the international and national level. Furthermore, it will assess whether these mechanisms can be employed to address the effect of development programmes which disproportionally affect people living on river banks. This study will use the classic legal research method, i.e. the normative legal method, to answer the research questions. In addition, it will also employ the human rights-based approach in assessing the regulation and policies adopted by the Indonesian authorities. The final part of this article will provide conclusions and recommendations for policymakers to address the societal problems by employing the human rights approach in tackling poverty and reducing the negative impacts of developments.
