We received the confirmation from the Komnas HAM that they will accepted and process our complains.
Key Points:
Dutch Committee Findings (2021):
Investigated intercountry adoptions (1967–1998) from Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh.
Found systemic abuses, including corruption, falsified documents, child trafficking, and baby farming—known to governments and intermediaries since the 1960s.
Specific violations in Indonesia: identity fraud, coercion, child theft, and bribery.
Adoptees’ Request:
Seek permanent return to Indonesia as citizens, claiming their Indonesian nationality was involuntarily revoked.
Challenges:
Dutch citizenship complicates reintegration.
Immigration rules hinder long-term stay.
Previous appeals to Indonesian ministries (Social Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Justice) only led to advice to apply for naturalization—unacceptable to them, as they view themselves as victims of illegal adoption practices.
Victims’ Demands:
Official recognition of injustices and restoration of Indonesian citizenship without naturalization.
Simplified immigration or citizenship procedures as affirmative action for adoption victims.
National Human Rights Commission (Komnas HAM) Inquiry:
Requests:
Clarification on legal violations in adoptions (1970s–1980s), per Dutch committee findings.
Information on government follow-up actions.
A response within 30 days, in line with human rights obligations (e.g., UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 8: right to identity restoration).
Stresses victims’ right to justice and prompt redress under international law.
Highlights:
Large-scale adoption fraud with state complicity.
Adoptees demand citizenship reinstatement, not naturalization.
Komnas HAM urges government accountability under human rights frameworks.
Deadline: 30 days for an official response.
