		2013-04-01 LBH Masyarakat's Submission to the 2013 SG report to the HRC on the Death Penalty Developments from April 2012-March 2013 In 2012-2013, there have been a number of positive developments taken by the Government of Indonesia. For example, in January 2012, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the President of Indonesia, granted a clemency request submitted by Deni Setia Maharwan, a drug convict. The President commuted Maharwan’s sentence from death to life imprisonment, through the Presidential Decree number 7/G/2012, on 25 January 2012. In December 2012, Indonesia abstained from voting the UN resolution on the moratorium of the death penalty in the UN General Assembly. This is a progressive step since in the last three resolutions Indonesia had always voted against the resolution. These two actions seem to confirm political statements made by the President himself and Marty Natalegawa, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, indicating that Indonesia is moving towards the abolition of the death penalty.

Humans inherently are endowed with rights, and when these rights are derogated from them, their humanity is undermined. A question then arises, in the event of a crime that poses a threat to public order what are we supposed to do with the perpetrators of the crime? Readmore...
