TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Wiranto said that the Indonesian Military (TNI) still needs to resolve allegations of human right violations. According to Wiranto, the Indonesian Military’s performance today cannot be compared to that in the past.

“We can’t justify our predecessor’s actions. The political and legal situations [at that time] were different,” Wiranto said in Jakarta today, Sept. 22.

The former TNI Commander referred to mysterious shootings that took place in 1980s. According to Wiranto, such actions were appreciated at that time. The policy is reportedly adopted by the Philippine government that is currently waging a war against drug dealers.

In response to human rights activists’ demands in relation to the case, Wiranto said it would be difficult to investigate it, as people who were involved had no longer existed.

Wiranto expressed his appreciation to TNI Commander Gen. Gatot Nurmantyo for making the Indonesian Military the most trusted institution in the country, according to a survey conducted by Saiful Mujani Research and Consulting last year.
