Goal: To promote democracy, human rights, accessibility and sustainability of the security and justice sector through strengthened institutions which are Transparent, Participatory and Accountable.
Security and justice reform is critically important to the Indonesia reform agenda. It is only through the full cooperation and competent administration within this area that Indonesian measures to enact governance reform may take root and grow. Security and justice reform is a highly sensitive area for Indonesia. It includes: national defense by military institutions; internal security as provided by an accountable and professional police forces; and above all it includes the upholding of an accessible, fair and accountable judiciary system responsible for ensuring the rule of law as proclaimed by the unitary state of Indonesia.
Each of these themes focuses on institutions which represent fundamental aspects of Indonesia’s status as a sovereign nation. Collectively they are each entrusted with responsibility for maintaining the core principles of the Pancasilla, the moral statue defined by Indonesia’s 1945 constitution. They are a reflection of what the Indonesian people hold in greatest esteem. Through effective law enforcement supported by an independent and impartial judiciary, the Indonesian state will ensure that rule of law takes precedence over the vested interests and corruption which have to date continued to undermine the full potential of the nation.
Partnership initiatives in support of Security and Justice Governance for the strategic period 2007-2011 will be conducted by the specialized Security and Justice Governance cluster (SJG). Through an innovative suite of programs and activities which is closely integrated with Partnership’s two other thematic clusters, SJG will build capacity of vital institutions within the context of the cross-cutting areas of decentralization and anti-corruption.
SJG will focus on five priority areas:
- Governance within the Criminal Justice System
- Governance in Policing
- Governance of Defense Policies and Military Institutions
- Governance in combating Trans-National crime
- Governance of the State’s Intrusive and Control functions
