| Περίληψη: | Resisting Indonesia's Culture of Impunity examines the
role of Indonesia’s first truth and reconciliation commission—the Aceh Truth and
Reconciliation Commission, or KKR Aceh—in investigating and redressing the
extensive human rights violations committed during three decades of brutal
separatist conflict (1976–2005) in the province of Aceh. The KKR Aceh was
founded in late 2016, as a product of the 2005 peace deal between the Indonesian
government and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM). It has since faced many
challenges—not least from Indonesia’s security forces and former GAM leaders,
who have joined together in their determination to maintain impunity for their
respective roles in the conflict. Indeed, the commission would not have been
established without the tireless work of civil society actors, including
non-government organisations and other humanitarian groups. In Resisting
Indonesia’s Culture of Impunity, the editors set out to amplify the role of
these civil society actors in the KKR Aceh and in transitional justice in
Indonesia. Each chapter has been written by a team of authors, composed
predominantly of commissioners and staff from the KKR Aceh itself, members of
key civil society organisations, and academics. Further, the editors aim to
scrutinise the KKR Aceh from the inside and analyse the establishment and
operation of what is perhaps the only genuine state-sponsored attempt to
implement transitional justice in Indonesia today.
