The Government stated that: “any serious human rights violations which occurred before this law [Act. No. 26/2000] was established must be investigated and decided on by the Ad Hoc Human Rights Court, additionally, it must be supported by a Presidential Decision and must follow a request from the Indonesian legislative. The Ad Hoc Human Rights Court mentioned above was not in fact created until a much later date, thus post-dating the aforementioned disappearances. Therefore, from the judicial perspective, the investigation results from the National Human Rights Commission concerned with the involuntary disappearances which occurred from 1997 to 1998, did not follow the prescribed steps necessary needed for the next investigative step to take place.” Request for a visit 191. On 12 December 2006, the Working Group requested to undertake a mission to Indonesia. The Government responded that it would not be possible to receive the Working Group during 2007 and that greater benefit would be derived from a visit at a later date. A reminder letter was sent on 3 April 2008; the Government has not yet responded.
