IMPLEMENTATION OF CONVENTION RESULTS INTERNATIONAL CEDAW AGAINST WOMEN THAT DEALS WITH THE LAW

Abstract

Discrimination against women is a widespread phenomenon, both in public spaces and in the household sphere, especially in the form of violence. This phenomenon resulted in the United Nations producing a convention that was used as an international instrument in 1979 regarding the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women, which was named the International Convention CEDAW (The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women). Indonesia is one of the countries that ratified the International Convention on CEDAW into Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 7 of 1984 concerning the Ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women). Indonesia ratified the CEDAW Convention on July 24, 1984, and agreed to prevent all acts of discrimination and implement policies to eliminate discrimination against women. After the existence of CEDAW, Indonesia has made efforts to improve existing laws and regulations, whether directly related to women or not. The issuance of the Regulation of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia Number 3 of 2017 concerning Guidelines for Adjudicating Women in Conflict with the Law is one form of implementation of the results of the International Convention on CEDAW, which is devoted to the legal domain. Regulation of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia Number 3 of 2017 is a manifestation of the state's obligation to ensure that women have access to justice and are free from discrimination in the justice system in Indonesia.
