Kemanakah Arah Perjuangan HAM OKI?

Posted by Human Rights in Islamic Countries on February 29, 2012


Perbincangan Radio KBR68H dan Tempo TV tentang OKI dan Penegakan HAM.

Bersama: Muhammad Hafiz (OIC Program Manager – HRWG) dan Lutfie Assyaukani (Director of Freedom Institute)

Host: Saidiman Ahmad dan Novri (KBR68H/Tempo TV)

KBR68H – Indonesia dipercaya menjadi tuan rumah kongres pertama Komisi HAM OKI (Organisasi Kerjasama  Islam). Kongres ini merupakan lanjutan dari Deklarasi Kairo. Pembahasan Kongres ini fokus kepada pemahaman dan definisi HAM yang bakal diperjuangkan.

Sedikitnya ada 18 negara yang ikut terlibat dari 57 negara Anggota OKI. Kongres berlangsung dari 19 hingga 24 Februari 2012. Seperti apa idealnya HAM yang bakal diperjuangkan oleh OKI?  KBR68H memperbincangkannya dalam  program Agama dan Masyarakat Rabu 22 Februari 2012.

Independensi Komisi HAM OKI

Sejak diproklamirkan 1991 dengan kemunculan Deklarasi HAM dalam Islam (Deklarasi Kairo), OKI tidak menunjukkan keberadaaan yang berarti bagi negara-negara anggotanya. OKI seperti tenggelam dari isu-isu internasional. Memasuki tahun 200-an baru OKI menunjukkan taringnya, ini terlihat  pada pertemuan ke-38 di Astana Kazakhstan 2011, keluar satu rumusan pembentukan satu komisi Independen. Komisi ini dinamai Komisi Independen Permanen Hak Asasi Manusia OKI (OIC IPHRC).

Human Rights Working Group dipilih menjadi partner yang mengadvokasi Komisi ini. Menurut Manager Program HRWG Indonesia Muhammad Hafiz, komisi HAM OKI ini sangat independen, termasuk kebijakan yang diambil oleh anggota komisonernya.

“Beda ya, keanggotaan komisioner Komisi HAM OKI dengan keanggotaan pada Organisasai seperti ASEAN. Di Komisi ini, anggotanya bebas mengambil kebijakan dengan pendapat pribadi. Mereka tidak harus mempertanggungjawabkannya ke Kepala Negara masing-masing, bukan seperti anggota ASEAN, mereka masing-masing mempertanggungjawabkannya ke peada presiden/kepala negara masing-masing”, ujarnya.

Namun menurut Akademisi Paramida, Luthfi Asyaukani, OKI tidak perlu repot-repot untuk memperjuangkan HAM, kata dia semuanya telah ada dalam Al-Qur’an.

“Islam itu telah memiliki teologi yang jelas, kalau merunut pada teologi itu maka Islam itu juga mengajari tentang HAM. Bahkan Almarhum Nurkholis Madjid menyebutkan, Qur’an pun mengajarkan tentang liberal”, ungkapnya.

“Dalam teologi Islam, tidak perlu membuat deklarasi khusus tentang HAM. Karena di dalam ajaran islam sudah diatur. Jadi saya heran, kenapa harus dibuat resolusi atau organisi serupa di OKI.

Tapi satu sisi saya memahami, karena ini sebagai bentuk jawaban secara kelembagaan, dari setiap sikap negara -negara Barat. Tapi yang jelas Islam, mengajar semua tentang HAM atau Human Rights”, tambahnya.

Luthfi menyebutkan salah satu dalil-dalil yang menjelaskan ketegasan Islam menghormati keberagaman adalah kalimat “la Ikhraha Fiddiyn- Tidak ada pemaksaan dalam memeluk agama”. Tapi yang terjadi, katanya banyak pemahaman teologi yang berbeda antara ulama yang menafsirkannya. Maka menurutnya HAM itu telah diajarkan dalam Islam.

Luthfi meragukan Komisi HAM OKI bakal independen, alasannya tidak mudah memberikan pemahaman HAM kepada masing-masing negara anggota.

“Ada perbedaaan mendasar di beberapa negara anggota OKI. Perbedaaan itu terletak pada pemahaman yang disebut syariah atau hukum Di sejumlah negara ada yang memahami syariah  melalui Mazhab Hanbali, ada yang menggunakan Mazhab Syafi’i dan lain-lain. Sehingga sulit untuk menerapkan model HAM yang mana yang bakal didukung oleh OKI. Apakah HAM yang universal atau HAM yang termaktub dalam AL-Qur’an” tegasnya.

Muhammad Hafiz menyetujui ungkapan, Luthfi, kata dia, mungkin itu juga yang pada akhirnya berkembang dalam Kongres Pertama Komisi HAM  OKI ini. Kata dia, pada awalnya Kongres ini menekankan beberap aspek pembahasan, yakni terkait Perempuan dan anak, Palestina dan israel. Dan membangun demokrasi di negara-negara muslim. Namun yang terjadi  hanya membahas Sipil dan Politik.

Tapi Hafiz menyatakan, minimal kongres ini memberikan angin segar bahwa ada semacam kekuatan baru dari OKI untuk turut terlibat pada isu-isu internasional.

“Nantinya OKI bisa mengeluarkan resolusi dan  justifikasi dalam hal-hal yang berkaitan kekerasan HAM”.

Perjuangan HAM OKI dan Indonesia

Muhammad Hafiz menegaskan, apapun yang tengah berlangsung dalam kongres pertama OKI kali ini, intinya untuk memberikan pandangan pada dunia internasional, bahwa OKI tidak membenarkan pelanggaran HAM.

“Tidak ada konsesus Islam seperti apa yang membenarkan perbuataan kekerasan. Artinya ketika di Arab Saudi melanggar HAM, berarti itu tidak dianggap sebagai gambaran Islam secara umum. Orang tidak boleh mengatakan, begitulah Islam. Karena yang melakukannya adalah adalah Arab Saudinya”.

Lalu bagaimana Indonesia ? Kata Luthfi Asyaukani, Indonesia termasuk salah satu negara yang diusulan menjadi model penegakan HAM

“Ada yang mengusulkan Indoensia sebagai model negara islam yang mendukung perjuangan HAM. Alasannya, Indonesia negara yang mendukung demokrasi, ekonomi berkembang baik, meski disatu sisi masih ada beberapa permasalahan kekerasan HAM”. Ungkapnya.

Contoh lainya adalah kemampuan umat Islam di Indonesia beradaptasi dengan kehidupan Universal.

Kata dia, meski terjadi revolusi di Negara-negara Islam belakangan ini terutama di Timur Tengah, tapi itu tidak akan berpengaruh besar. Pelanggaran HAM tidak bakal terjadi meski yang muncul sebagai pemenang dalam revolusi tersebut adalah partai-partai Islam. Ia mencontohkan dengan PKS yang ada di Indonesia.

“Dulu PKS, partai Islam di awal-awal eklusif, tapi belakangan mereka mencoba untuk membaur secara unviersal dengan membuka diri dengan komunitas lainnya”tegasnya.

Meski yakin Indonesia sebagai contoh yang cocok. Namun Lutfi masih ragu

“Indonesia masih berada pada posisi yang membingungkan. Di satu sisi Indonesi seperti ikut dengan konsensus penegakkan HAM dengan konsep Universal. Tapi di sisi lainnya, karena menjadai negara dominan Muslim, Indonesia seperti enggan melepas jati diri bagian dari negara yang terikat konsesus Islam”.

Challenges and Expectation on the first Meeting OIC Human Rights Body (IPHRC)

Posted by Human Rights in Islamic Countries on February 27, 2012


Press Release

Challenges and Expectation on the first Meeting OIC Independent Commission Human Rights have to work as with in International Standard

Indonesian Civil Society Organizations encourage in the First Session of the OIC human rights commission, IPHRC (Independent Permanent Human Right Commission), in Jakarta February 20th-24th, 2012, in order IPHRC dealing with procedure concept (Procedure of Rule) its not contrary to universal human rights principles. In this first session of the crucial agenda is the formulation of rules procedure, which must be in accordance and compliance with the universal human rights principles.

These principles include:

  1. Principles of openness and open engagement of civil society. The principle is important in the context of accountability of the IPHRC, especially in the historical character of the OIC Member States has closed and many Members who reject human rights and accountability principles.
  2. Civil society engagement is important for strengthening and advancement of human rights in the OIC Member States. This cooperation can be open for complaints communication of human rights violations and also given the range develops dynamic report of human rights in the world, especially with particular regard to human rights and Islam.
  3. The principle of accountability. IPHRC should be encouraging regular accountability mechanism for its performance and all that has been done in the context of human rights. This accountability should be given to the public, not only given to the Council of Foreign Ministers.
  4. Being accountability to the public will increase the public trust, as long as there are suspicions of the OIC which makes IPHRC to avoid accountability for human rights by the international community.

In addition to the principles relating IPHRC should dare to challenge human rights violations which make IPHRC to avoid accountability for human rights by the international community. Challenge related to various issues, include:

  1. Freedom of religion and belief. The issue is related to the issue of defamation of religion, intolerance and acts of violence in the Islamic communities. The IPHRC should encourage the OIC Member States to ensure freedom of religion and belief, compliance with the universal human rights principles. In the international context, defamation of religion is not a part of the scheme of human rights norm, while in many OIC member countries including in Indonesia, was a problem. Moreover, the OIC Member Countries have support the Resolution on Combating intolerance, discrimination and violence based on religion and belief in the UN Human Rights Council, 2011.
  2. Freedom of expression and information. This is consistent with the context of democratization in many OIC Member Countries, especially in Middle East (Arab Spring).
  3. Migrant Workers. OIC Member States have two characters, both as receiving countries and sending countries. Remarks in a variety of violations of migrant workers in destination countries, the OIC countries was the most extensive notes violations of migrant workers.
  4. Women. The biggest problem of human rights in the context and Islam is the equality of women, both in private and public spaces that lead to injustice and the various sources of violence.

On this occasion, we appreciate to the Commissioners IPHCR and the Secretariat of the OIC who have participated in the event of civil society who have been held on Feb. 19th, 2012 and Feb. 21th, 2012. This participation is a good starting point for the next show IPHCR more transparent and accountable.

Tantangan dan Harapan Pada Sidang Pertama Komisi HAM OKI

Posted by Human Rights in Islamic Countries on February 27, 2012


Press Release

Tantangan dan Harapan Pada Sidang Pertama

Komisi HAM Independen OKI Harus Bekerja Sesuai dengan Standrat Internasional

 

Kami mendorong dalam sidang pertama IPHRC (Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission/ Komisi HAM Independen OKI) di Jakarta 20-24 Februari 2012, agar IPHRC mensepakati konsep Prosedure (Rule of Procedure) yang tidak bertentangan dengan prinsip-prinsip HAM internasional. Dalam sidang Pertama ini agenda sidang yang krusial adalah perumusan rule of Procedure, yang harus sesuai dengan prinsip-prinsip hak asasi manusia.

Prinsip-prinsip itu, antara lain:

  1. Prinsip keterbukaan  dan membuka keterlibatan masyarakat sipil. Prinsip ini penting dalam konteks akuntabilitas IPHRC, apalagi dalam sejarahnya OKI memiliki karakter tertutup dan memilki banyak anggota yang menolak hak asasi manusia dan prinsip akuntabilitas.

Pelibatan masyarakat penting bagi kerja dan kemajuan HAM di Negara-Negara anggota OKI. Pelibatan ini dapat berupa membuka komunikasi komplain pelanggaran HAM yang terjadi maupun penyampaikan laporan berbagai dinamika HAM yang berkembang di dunia, khususnya berkaitan dengan HAM dan Islam.

  1. Prinsip Akuntabilitas. IPHRC harus mendorong mekanisme pertanggungjawaban berkala atas kinerjanya dan semua yang telah dilakukan dalam konteks hak asasi manusia. Pertanggungjawaban ini harus diberikan kepada publik, tidak hanya diberikan pada pertemuan para menteri luar negeri.

Petanggungjawaban kepada publik akan menbuat kepercayaan publik membaik, karena selama ini terdapat kecurigaan terhadap OKI yang membuat IPHRC untuk menghindari pertanggungjawaban HAM oleh komunitas Internasional.

Selain berkaitan dengan Prinsip IPHRC harus berani menjawab tantangan Pelanggaran HAM yang banyak terjadi di berbagai Negara-negara anggota OKI. Tantangan itu terkait berbagai masalah, antara lain:

  1. Hak kebebesan Beragama dan berkeyakinan. Masalah ini terkait dengan isu penodaan agama, tindakan intoleransi dan kekerasan. IPHRC harus berani masuk dalam isu kebebasan Beragama dengan menggunakan prisip-prinsip Internasional. Dalam konteks internasional, defamasi/penodaan agama tidak menjadi bagian dalam skema HAM, sementara di banyak negara anggota OKI, termasuk di Indonesia itu menjadi masalah. Dalam konteks HAM defamasi tidak masuk dikarenakan, obyek sasarannya tidak berwujud, sangat subyektif penilain orang/obyektifitas sulit dicapai, dan dalam berbagai praktik menyerang kebebasan berpikir (salah satu hak dasar yang tidak dapat dikurangi), dan cenderung ada penyalagunaan kekuasaan dan mayoritas. Apalagi, Negara-negara OKI telah menyepakati adanya pengharpusan Defamasi Agama melalui Resolusi Dewan HAM PBB tahun 2011.
  2. Hak kebebasan Bereksperesi dan mendapatkan Informasi. Hal ini sesuai dengan konteks demokratisasi di berbagai Negara-negara anggota OKI khususnya di jazirah arab (Arab Spring).
  3. Buruh Migrant. Negara-negara anggota OKI memiliki dua karakter, sebagian Negara tujuan dan Negara pengirim. Dalam berbagai cacatan pelanggaran terhadap buruh migran yang terjadi di Negara tujuan, di Negara-negara OKI-lah paling banyak catatan pelanggaran buruh migran.
  4. Perempuan. Masalah terbesar HAM dam Islam dalam konteks ini adalah kesetaraan perempuan, baik dalam ruang privat maupun publik yang mengakibatkan ketidakadilan dan berbagai sumber kekerasan.

Dalam kesempatan ini, kami memberikan apresiasi kepada komisioner IPHCR dari Indonesia dan Sekertariat OKI yang telah berpartisipasi dalam acara masyarakat sipil yang telah diselenggarakan kemarin (19/2/2012). Partisipasi ini menjadi awal yang baik untuk menunjukkan IPHCR ke depan yang lebih tranparan dan akuntable.
