Indonesia’s commitment to combating trafficking in persons had been reflected, inter alia, in the implementation of law on combating criminal acts of trafficking in persons and the ratification of related United Nations Convention and Protocols. Indonesia has been implementing the National Action Plan on Combating the Criminal Act of Trafficking in Persons and Child Sexual Exploitation for the period 2009-2014. The implementation of the National Action Plan was supervised by a task force; 23 provincial task forces and 76 districts and municipal task forces had also been established to handle the issue of trafficking. 75. Indonesia continued to improve bilateral agreements regarding domestic workers and labour issues with countries of destination of Indonesian migrant workers. At a regional level, Indonesia actively promoted a stronger and effective cooperation through the ASEAN Convention on Trafficking in Persons. Indonesia together with Australia continued to build closer cooperation in addressing irregular migration, people smuggling and trafficking in persons through the “Bali Process”. 76. As a diverse, multi-ethnic, multi-religious country, Indonesia attached the highest priority to the issue of freedom of religion. It indicated that freedom of religion was guaranteed in Constitution but that it went beyond the provisions of the Constitution. Indonesia, as a matter of principle, did not interfere in the issue of individual belief and shared respect with all religions. There was sometimes a misperception that Indonesia recognized only six official religions; Islam, Catholicism, Protestantism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Khong Hu Chu. This mistaken view came from an incomplete reading of law No. 1 of 1965. The law did not provide official recognition to any religion, but merely reaffirmed the existence of those religions in Indonesia. It did not mean that other religions were not allowed in Indonesia. Indonesia was too conscious of recent incidents which indicated an intolerance of religion. It explained that other democracies had found their democratic space exploited by those who professed intolerance and hatred amongst religions. The Government is determined to address such cases of intolerance amongst religions and to ensure believers, such as Ahmadis, were able to practise their faith in a good manner. 10
