At the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Deputy Minister of Human Rights Mugiyanto advocated for increased collaboration between United Nations mechanisms and regional organizations, such as the ASEAN Human Rights Dialogue, to address financial constraints and ensure policies respect local contexts. Domestically, Human Rights Minister Natalius Pigai has promoted the ‘Human Rights Aware Village’ program. This initiative aims to protect vulnerable groups—including women, children, the elderly, people with disabilities, and indigenous communities—by integrating human rights into daily social relations at the village and hamlet levels. The program, which aligns with President Prabowo Subianto’s administration goals, utilizes human rights activists to monitor community issues like school bullying. However, officials noted that the current number of activists is limited compared to the country’s 85,000 villages. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-22: Indonesia Human Rights Minister promotes Human Rights Aware Village program Indonesia's Human Rights Ministry is strengthening its Human Rights Aware Village program to protect vulnerable groups and address grassroots issues, including school bullying, through local activists. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indonesia-human-rights-minister-promotes-human-rights-aware-village-program ### 2026-09-25: Indonesia urges UN-regional cooperation on human rights At the 63rd UN Human Rights Council session, Indonesia's Deputy Minister Mugiyanto urged stronger collaboration between UN mechanisms and regional organizations to improve global human rights protection. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indonesia-urges-un-regional-cooperation-on-human-rights --- Cite as: Indonesia human rights policy and cooperation.
