  • One of the requirements of state law is the recognition and guarantee of the protection and enforcement of human rights, this guarantee should be included in the constitution in force in a country. To guarantee the implementation of human rights protection and enforcement is then required institutions of human rights protection and enforcement of an effective and independent in exercising its functions and powers guaranteed by the constitution. Powerlessness The Indonesian National Commission on Human Rights in resolving cases of human rights violations to the fullest is inseparable from the question of institutional models that still contains a number of weaknesses. As the issue is still weak independence, functions and authority, inadequate budgets, yet the strong position of the Commission in the state system of Indonesia and the number of members who are not in accordance with the mandate of the law. These issues make the Commission has not so strong when faced with the challenges and complexities of the issues of human rights in Indonesia today. Human Rights on the Second Amendment was included in a separate chapter, Section XA on Human Rights, which includes as many as 10 (ten) articles from Article 28 to Article 28j set out in the 1945 Constitution. However, it should be noted that in Chapter XA on Human Rights on the 1945 changes is no list of institutional/ enforcement institutions Human Rights or The Indonesian National Commission on Human Rights in it, whereas the habit of setting “chapter” in the 1945 Constitution will bear State institutions that govern them. Whereas in some other countries, especially in the Asia Pacific region, where their human rights commission has been set up by a special law, even in Thailand and South Africa is set directly in the constitution.
