Since the fall of the New Order, Indonesia has adopted various legal and institutional instruments to address gross human rights violations. The country’s history includes several instances of serious human rights abuses, most notably the 1965 - 1966 Tragedy. This period saw a series of large-scale killings and civil unrest primarily targeting members and perceived sympathizers of the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI), with an estimated 1 million lives lost.
Similarly, from 1949 to 1987, Taiwan experienced a prolonged period of martial law and systemic political repression known as the "White Terror." Under Kuomintang (KMT) rule, thousands of people were tortured, imprisoned, executed, or exiled for being deemed threats to national security. To address such legacies of abuse, transitional justice has emerged as a conceptual framework and a set of mechanisms designed to provide accountability and healing. This webinar will explore how transitional justice is implemented in Indonesia and Taiwan, incorporating perspectives from CSOs and victim communities. Event details are provided below:
