Islam Dan Hak Asasi Manusia: Penegakan Dan Problem Ham Di Indonesia

Abstract

: Islam and Human Right: Its Application and Problems in Indonesia. This paper explains the compatibility of Islam and human rights as well as efforts to protect human rights in Indonesia as a Muslim country. This paper thus rejects the opinion of a number of observers about the incompatibility or conflict between Islam and human rights just because of the fact that the majority of Muslim countries does not fully protect and enforce human rights. Since the beginning, Islam has recognized the protection of human rights, which were then formulated by the ulama with the concept of maqâsid al-sharî‘ah (objectives of shari'ah). As a Muslim country, Indonesia in the Reform era has committed to the protection and enforcement of human rights in line with the implementation of substantive democracy. Yet there remain a number of problems or obstacles in the protection of human rights caused by several factors, be they substantive, structural or cultural. The government, parliament as well as civil society and religious organizations have conducted efforts to solve the problems and obstacles
