As corruption is rampant, police has become one of the most corrupt institutions in Indonesia. Problems related with bribery are everywhere, whether it be with police, judges, prosecutors etc. Indonesians have this culture when it comes to their dealings with the law. Mr. Chairman, SAA fully supports the above-mentioned international convention and also supports the Forum recommendation of the articles 22, 23 and 26. But our experience shows that the state, the forces that should prevent human rights abuses are at the same time the perpetrators themselves - the police, for example, is at the same time the criminal. Therefore, the Swedish-Achehnese Association strongly urge Indonesia to adhere to the ICCPR article 6 (1) and even the articles 3, 4 and 7 of the UN Basic Principles on the use of force and firearms by law enforcement officials. Thank you for your attention. Swedish-Achehnese Association Krogarvagen 28—Nb 145 52 Norsborg Org No: 802406-2062 Bankgiro No: 5862-5260 Email: saf sverige@yahoo.se Contact: +46736860164
