The Eradication of Terrorism Acts: Effectiveness and Human Rights Violation

Abstract

Indonesian government requires the amendment of Law of No 15 of 2003 on Eradication of Terrorism Crime because it is considered not effective and has not well implemented in eradicating terrorism in Indonesia. One of the critical points of this amendment is the deradicalisation program. This program is being criticised because it potentially infringes human rights, in particular the right to fair trial and presumption of innocence, right to liberty and security and freedom of thought, expression, and opinions.
