torture and arbitrary detention among law enforcement officers, human rights training
for law enforcement officers, information on humanitarian law, a special programme

4. Implementation of the international human rights instruments that have been
ratified by Indonesia
This section focuses on the two major international human rights treaties that had
been ratified by Indonesia at the time the plan was launched, the Convention on the
Rights of the Child and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of
Discrimination against Women. The plan provides for activity through national
institutions, international cooperation, social mobilization, legal reform, law
enforcement, training and monitoring.
Provision is made for the establishment of a National Committee on Human Rights as
the implementing body for programme activities under the plan. It will be composed
of both government officials and community representatives. The plan envisages
regular evaluation and states that aspects of human rights not covered by the present
plan will be addressed when it is upgraded following evaluation of its initial
implementation.

Mexico (1998)
The Mexican “National Programme to Promote and Strengthen Human Rights” is set
out in a 23-page document. The Ministers of Foreign Affairs and the Interior launched
the programme, which is coordinated by the Mexican National Commission on
Human Rights. The programme invites civil society to support and join its activities.
There is no specific time frame for its implementation.
The programme makes specific reference to the federal nature of the Mexican State. It
was developed as an initiative of the executive branch of government and was
coordinated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It requests the other branches of
government – the legislature, the judiciary and state Governments – to take
complementary action in their own spheres of responsibility.
The programme begins with an introduction that outlines the place of human rights in
Mexican history and notes the growing development of a participatory and democratic
political culture. It refers to the establishment of the National Commission on Human
Rights and the place of human rights in the National Development Plan 1995-2000.
