Caveat - Volume February-March 2014 - LBH MasyarakatLBH Masyarakat
In this edition, Muhammad Afif Abdul Qoyim, an LBH Masyarakat’s caseworker, writes an article analyzing the possibility of the detainees, who are detained in police stations or other law enforcement agencies’ detention center, losing their right to vote. This is because the Election Committee does not seem very well prepared in securing their right to vote. He emphasizes, in the “Human Rights, Law, and Politics” column, the Election Committee must not only focus on the statutory election violations, – either those came from the political parties or the political candidates, but they also must be concerned with the detainees’ right to vote and to ensure that right is guaranteed, this is because right to vote is one of citizen’s rights protected by the Indonesia’s Constitution.
In the “Human Rights, HIV, and Drugs Policy” column, Aditiya Putra – an LBH Masyarakat’s Human Rights and Law program officer, writes an article about the new Indonesian social security and health care regulation. He criticizes this regulation on the ground that it is very discriminative against drug users. He argues that social security should be given equally to all citizens – a principle of universal coverage. However, contrary to this principle, the government, by enacting this regulation of social health security, the drug users will potentially be excluded from accessing that social security system. This is a discriminatory policy and it violates drug users’ right to health, as Aditiya argues.
Also, in this column, Ratna Dyah Kusumadewi, a legal intern at LBH Masyarakat, analyzes the inconsistencies of drug rehabilitation verdicts in Indonesia. She critically analyzes three different courts decisions. She pinpoints cases and rules, which could be precedents for judges to enforce rehabilitation based judgment for drug offenders, who are in need for drug treatments. She also recommends that judges should not merely interpret laws in black letter laws but also looking at the individual circumstances of each case for the interest of justice.
The last but not the least, Albert Wirya – an LBH Masyarakat’s volunteer and currently completing criminology studies at the University of Indonesia, will share his experience on working on a criminal casework, which the LBH Masyarakat is the clients’ legal representative. The case is
4 CAVEAT | February - March 2014
about a group of fishermen who are suspected trying to smuggle foreigners into Australia. In
“From Our Archive” column, Albert analyzes the case from the point of views of criminology. In
his essay, Albert focuses on the law enforcement performance when working on an organized
crime, which he argues that they might wrongfully prosecute minors but ironically fail to catch
the ‘big fish’.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. It has been rightly proclaimed in the American declaration of independence that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Created with certain unalienable rights….” Similarly, Indian Constitution has ensured and enshrined Fundamental rights for all citizens irrespective of caste, creed, religion, color, sex or nationality. These basic rights, commonly known as human rights, are recognized the world over as basic rights with which every individual is born.
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Rule of Law to Ensure Safety of Journalists and Combating Impunity - Nepal : Presentation by Yek Raj Pathak
1. Rule of law to ensure Safety of
Journalists and Combat Impunity
A Presentation By
Yek Raj Pathak
Lecturer, MA MCJ
2. Rule of Law
Individuals, persons and government shall submit
to, obey and be regulated by law, and not
arbitrary action by an individual or a group of
individuals.
3. Impunity
The term that is understood as a failure to bring perpetrators into justice
system, which perpetuates the cycle of violence against the society and
individuals.
Impunity not only impedes the path of justice, but it also reinforces
future threats to press freedom. Attacks against media professionals
should be regarded as abuses against the society at large as they violate
the fundamental human right to freedom of expression.
William Horsley, Media scholar
4. Freedom of press
The right of publishing books, newspapers or periodicals and
broadcast news and views from electronic media without restraint
or censorship subject only to the existing laws against libel,
sedition, and indecency.
5. Status of press freedom

7. Some events of the year
Despite the year of the general election, the incidents of press
freedom violation have radically declined in Nepal. A total of 52
press freedom violations have been recorded the monitoring
period- a year from May 2013 to April 2014. Last year, the
violations stood 131. The improvement is because of
comparatively stable politics the country had.

8. Who are against free press?
• Political cadres
• Security Persons (Nepal Police, Nepal Army)
• Businesspersons
• Government Employees
• Goons
• Unknown Persons
• Attack- injury, murder attempt, attack
• Threats- threats of physical attack, death threats
9. Now
Impunity is not fully ended but the independent judiciary and Labor
court has helped a lot to reduce it. Various journalists arrested by
security agencies have been released due to prompt action of the
courts. So, the level of impunity is positive to some extent.
• Attacks on media is decreasing
• Labor court established a precedent
• Media are united against their violence
• Professionalism is developed
• Media laws are being reformed
• No special law for media security
10. What to do?
• Nepal is still in transition
• Ensure press freedom in new constitution
• Needs effective vigilance
• Monitor media situation periodically
• Maintain transparency in investment
• Punish who attacks media
• Fight against impunity
