Aksi Kamisan as an Effort of Non-Governmental Organization in Constructing an Agenda for the Restoration of the Victims Rights of Past Gross Human Rights Violations: A Case Study of 1965-1966 Massacre in Indonesia

This article described the restoration agenda prepared by non-governmental organizations, in particular the Victims Solidarity Network for Justice (JSKK) and the 1965/1966 Murder Victims Research Foundation (YPKP 65). This agenda was constructed in a series of activities and poster that uploaded to Instagram account of Aksi Kamisan, as an effort to encourage the Government to form special policies for victims of gross human rights violations in 1965. The research conducted in this article uses qualitative methods to produce descriptive data. By using the agenda setting as a conceptual basis, it was found that the Aksi Kamisan was one of the main aspects capable of constructing the restoration of the victims rights of past gross human rights violations as an institutional agenda. This is proven by the stipulation of a policy to handle past gross human rights violations through Presidential Decree No. 17 of 2022 concerning the Team for the NonJudicial Resolution of Past Serious Human Rights Violations. This study contributes to showing that nongovernmental organizations are able to optimize the use of social media which can encourage the formation of special policies for victims of past gross human rights violations, even though they cannot be fully accommodated.
