SUMMARY:Indonesian 1965 Crimes Against Humanity: Towards Recognition of Genocide Status?
LOCATION:REC A1.02
DESCRIPTION:In January 2023, Indonesian President Joko Widodo publicly ackn
 owledged the mass crimes committed against communists by General Suharto’s 
 military regime in 1965-66. This significant step follows the apology made 
 by former President Abdurrahman Wahid in 2000, marking the second acknowled
 gment of the 1960s bloodshed by an Indonesian leader. Breaking more than 60
  years of silence and historical misinformation propagated by the regime, P
 resident Jokowi’s statement also signals the freedom of scientific research
  in this period.\n\nEyewitness accounts show the historical reality of viol
 ence and discrimination against those accused of communism, while scholarly
  research underscores the orchestrated nature of these events involving mul
 tiple countries. The documentary film “The Mutes’ Soliloquy” by Stéphane Ro
 land, to be featured in this screening event, reconstructs the mechanics of
  mass crimes using firsthand testimonies. It also revisits the Internationa
 l People’s Tribunal for 1965 (IPT 1965), initiated by Nursyahbani Katjasung
 kana and Saskia Wieringa, held in The Hague in 2015, resulting in numerous 
 indictments for crimes against humanity.\n\nThe documentary and the discuss
 ion will also illuminate the victimization of women under the military dict
 atorship of the New Order regime. Furthermore, the concept of “political ge
 nocide” will be introduced to denote the mass killings targeting those accu
 sed of being communists and their families. The discussion will also underl
 ine the importance of garnering recognition for these atrocities from inter
 national legal bodies.\n\nThe chosen format consists of a movie screening f
 ollowed by a discussion with academic and legal experts who organized the I
 PT 1965. These Indonesian and European experts will argue for the need to p
 ursue academic research on the subject of “Indonesian 1965 Tragedy” and the
  process of reclaiming genocide status. This format is purposefully crafted
  to optimize the flow of ideas and encourage active engagement from the aud
 ience.
