God creates human being as His figure and performance, so they are prestigious creature.
Based on the above fact, there are two problem formulations in this legal writing or thesis,
namely: (1) How is Catholic Church's view on Human Right and the enforcement in
Indonesia based on Social Doctrine of Catholic Church? (2) How is the Implementation of
Human Rights enforcement in Indonesia based on Human Rights Enforcement Law No.26,
2000?
Therefore the objective of the research was to obtain data concerning Catholic Church's view
on Human Right and the enforcement in Indonesia based on Social Doctrine of Catholic
Church. It was to contribute for the process of beside jurisprudence development especially
in Human Right field. Then, it can give clear understanding in the effort to enact a legal rule
by considering equal treatment for Human Right enforcement in Indonesia.
Research method used in this legal writing was normative legal one, including research that
studies the ongoing norms either in special or in general, literature material, and positive
legal norms such as regulations viewed to Human Rights in this matter studied from Social
Doctrine of Catholic Church perspective and Human Rights Enforcement Law No.26, 2000,
conducted by literature study.
The results of the research revealed the following conclusions: (1) Church's involvement in
Human Rights problems happened through a long process. History of church proved that
Church had ever rejected and challenged Human Rights, but after the Second World War
Church gradually experienced involvement and change of views on Human Right. Church's
position changed totally from challenging to defending Human Rights. (2) Normatively,
Indonesia has had high commitment on Human Right, it seems in national legal regulation
or international instrument ratification on Human Rights, but implementation of Human
Rights enforcement in Indonesia should be increased. Therefore, the researcher gives
suggestions that honor on Human Rights should be struggled, then the Church should
participate and cooperate with government in giving protection on Human Rights by giving
input for each democratic governmental system and advocacy should be established in field
of legislative policy as well as in treating witnesses and victims.
