Eroding The Understanding of Radicalism Through Strengthening Human Rights Education in Indonesia

Abstract

The government reacted to the rise of extremism in Indonesia because it was seen as a challenge to the country's integrity and a threat to the democratic process. As a result, the government is attempting to discover preventative measures to reduce this understanding. This report intends to provide advice to relevant stakeholders in the context of reforming the system or pattern of dealing with radicalism prevention from a human rights viewpoint. Based on literature investigations, this study is normative legal research using a qualitative technique that tries to reveal facts, events, and conditions that occur. The Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia plays a significant role in preventing the growth of extremism in Indonesia by providing Human Rights Education to the population, according to this report. The content of the Human Rights Education in question focuses on increasing tolerance for others and promoting Pancasila's ideology as the nation's ideology. This is significant because education is supposed to undermine radicalism through a non-threatening and non-violent method that leads to human rights values.
