the poor, the vulnerable and minorities, and take effective measures against corruption by
public officials responsible for the administration of justice, including judges, prosecutors,
police and prison personnel.
Death penalty
89. The death penalty should be abolished. While it is still applied, the secrecy
surrounding the death penalty and executions should stop immediately.
Children
90. The age of criminal responsibility should be raised as a matter of priority. Through
further reform of the juvenile justice system, Indonesia should take immediate measures to
ensure that deprivation of liberty of minors is used only as a last resort and for the shortest
possible period of time and in appropriate conditions. Children in detention should be
strictly separated from adults.
Women
91. In consultation with the Commission on Violence against Women, the Government
should establish effective mechanisms to enforce the prohibition of violence against women,
including in the family and wider community, above all through further awareness-raising
within the law-enforcement organs.
Recommendation to the international community
92. The Special Rapporteur requests the international community to support the efforts
of Indonesia in reforming its criminal law system. In particular, all measures to establish
well-resourced and independent national preventive mechanisms in compliance with
international standards that cover the entire territory of Indonesia should be treated as a
priority and supported with generous financial assistance.
