Indonesia is once again seeking for one of the seats of the United Nations Human Rights Council for the years 2020 - 2022.
Being a democratic country with the biggest Moslem population in the world, Indonesia has a lot to share and to learn from one another in terms of promotion and protection of human rights.
As one of the founding members of the United Nations Human Rights Council, Indonesia continues working on upholding the UNGA resolution 60/251 as the basis of the Council’s work, that human rights are universal, indivisible, interrelated and interdependent. Of course is not always that easy as no country in the world has perfect human rights records. Indonesia is no exception. Even those claiming themselves as 'human rights champion' do have issues here and there. But the most important part is we continue to take tireless efforts to address
As part of our campaign for this, we held a photo exhibition titled Indonesia, A True Partner for Democracy, Development, and Social Justice. It was held in Pasarelle Bridge, Palais des Nations, Geneva from June 25 - July 5, 2019
Indonesia is indeed committed to play a more active role in global human rights deliberation through constructive engagement, dialogue, and cooperation. It is not always that easy to do so but we stand ready enhance our works in the field of human rights with other stakeholders.
To further promote international collaboration to ensure that UN Human Rights mechanisms will contribute towards global stability, peaceful and friendly relations between nations, as well as creating an enabling environment for peace, security, and socio-economic development.
At the opening of Indonesia’s photo exhibition, we had our Deputy Minister for Public Diplomacy to share with you our journey in strengthening our democracy, enhancing our development and ensuring social justice for all.
Here are some photos we have for the exhibition.
I was trusted to help the preparation of the photo exhibition as well the conduct of the exp itself at UN Headquarters in Geneva, Palais des Nations. It was quite a long journey to get the photos that properly and artistically reflect the messages we have here. Most of the photos were bought from Antara, our press bureau, and some are from the Minsitry's documents.
It was really a previlidge to be here and for me, it is also part of the celebration of our partnership with the UN and other member states in promotion and protection of human rights across the globe.
Our Deputy Minister opened the exhibition officially |
