Freedom of Choice in Religion
March 16th, 2009, in News & Issues, by Patung

Indonesia’s unique interpretation of human rights in respect of freedom of choice in religion, and secularism.


Professor Dr. Suyahmo of the Universitas Negeri Semarang (Unnes) said recently that human rights are basically universal and applicable to all but will take different forms in practical terms in each country, according to differing circumstances, history and culture.

Every country is free to determine human rights values in accordance with their ideology.

Because of this human rights in Indonesia would be different than in other countries, for example in the area of religion.

In secular countries people are free to adopt whatever religion they want, or none at all.

But Indonesia was founded on the Pancasila doctrine and it required that all citizens belong to a particular religion. However the country did allow people to choose which religion they wished to belong to, although the fact that this choice was limited to only six officially recognised faiths, they being Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, was a violation of human rights, he said.
