Whenever regulations must be amended, adequate measures are adopted.

 

– A Plan of Action on IHL Implementation for the Indonesian Committee of IHL (PANTAP)[1] for the period of 2019-2023 is adopted, including on the implementation of the Law No. 1 of 2018 on Red Cross Affairs adopted as a pledge to the 32nd International Red Cross and Red Crescent Conference.

The PANTAP consists of representatives of the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs; the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; the Ministry of Defence; the Ministry of Law and Human Rights; the Ministry of Health; the Ministry of Education and Culture; the Indonesian Red Cross; and academics. The Directorate of Central Authority and International at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights acts as the Coordinator of PANTAP.

The study will first and foremost involve the relevant departments from the Armed and Security forces, with the support of independent experts and partners. Concrete steps are expected to be adopted at the beginning of 2020.
