The Purpose of Establishing the Human Rights Court

The purpose of the establishment of the Human Rights Court is closely related to the background of the establishment of the Human Rights Court as explained in the previous section. The Court Human Rights was established to uphold and maintain the values of human rights of every individual (community) in Indonesia.

Human rights are very fundamental in life, if the state (government) does not carry out its obligation to fulfill the needs and human rights of every citizen and results in the unfulfillment of the human rights of citizens, it will certainly be very detrimental, especially if there are human rights violations. With that, a institution is needed that can guarantee to uphold these human rights and also provide a deterrent effect for anyone not to commit serious human rights violations. That is, in addition to being a coercive effort, the presence of the Human Rights Court also aims to present preventive efforts.
