From institutional and historical perspectives, this study explores how Aceh-nese society addressed massive human rights violations during the insurgency years. The 2005 Helsinki Memorandum of Understanding between the Indone-sian government and Free Aceh Movement (GAM) entails expansive measures of transitional justice. However, implementation was first conditioned by the “peace vs. justice” tradeoff. Consequently, amnesty and reparation (compensa-tion) were prioritized. In addition, the failure of Jakarta to realize transitional justice at the national level prevented Aceh from pursing truth and reckoning. Despite the unfavorable context, civil society groups in Aceh, with the help of counterparts across Indonesia and the Asia-Pacific, advocated the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (KKR) at the local level. Disagreements between the elite in Jakarta and the elite in Aceh facilitated groundbreaking legislation of the KKR Qanun (bylaw) in 2013. Inspired by the grass-roots experiences, the institutional design of the Aceh KKR reflects a victim-centered approach, and rehabilitation is considered necessary for the revelation of the truth. |
