These include many significant and substantive reforms. In response to these reforms, the RI Supreme Court received positive responses both from the public and institutions in other countries. One expression of appreciation was provided by the Central Information Commission, which lauded the RI Supreme Court as the sixth best public institution as regards openness of information through its website. This was out of 82 public institutions monitored during 2010-2011. In this Annual Report, we described our various breakthroughs and achievements, including the following: I. CASE MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE In general, the performance of the Supreme Court in discharging its principal function, namely, deciding and adjudicating cases, improved during the course of 2011. Despite a decline in the overall number of cases that were disposed of, the court’s clearance rate during 2011 amounted to 117.19%. With 12,990 incoming cases in 2011, the Supreme Court managed to send by 15,223 cases to the originating courts. This is a very significant achievement as it means that the backlog of cases in the Supreme Court has started to be reduced, despite the number of incoming cases having increased sharply in recent years. This shows the success of the systemic efforts that have been made to improve our summarization methods, and the monitoring and evaluation efforts that were conducted by the Supreme Court over the course of 2011. Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 1 8 II. IMPLEMENTATION OF CHAMBER SYSTEM IN RI SUPREME COURT The introduction of a chamber system in the Supreme Court represents a significant step forward. The important objectives of the introduction of a chamber system are as follows: 1. To help develop the expertise of the judges as each judge will only hear and adjudicate cases that come within his or her special areas of competence and expertise. 2. To help improve productivity in the handling of cases as each judge will deal with a similar type of case which in the end will lead to greater consistency. 3. To facilitate supervision of decisions for the purpose of maintaining legal integrity. If we can improve legal consistency, then it is expected that the number of unnecessary appeals coming before the Supreme Court in cassation may be reduced. In order to implement the chamber system, the Supreme Court has issued Supreme Court Directive No. 142/KMA/SK/IX/2011 on the application of a chamber system in the Supreme Court. This Directive was issued on 19 September 2011, and is accompanied by a number of other relevant directives. III. ACCESS TO JUSTICE 1. Access to judicial decisions At the end of 2011, the total number of decisions had increased more than sixfold so as to stand at more than 150,000. The decisions that can be accessed by the public at http://decidedan.mahkamahagung.go.id are not confined to Supreme Court decisions in cassation or final reviews alone, but also include are decisions at first instance and on appeal in all four court jurisdictions. The Supreme Court uses a system that helps ensure that smooth operation of case summarization, while at the same time providing public access and an electronic repository – the first to be maintained by a judicial body. 2. Access to Information With the coming into effect of Law No. 14 of 2008 on Freedom of Information, the Supreme Court has amended Supreme Court Directive Number 144/ Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 1 9 KMA/VII/2007 on freedom of information through the issuance of Supreme Court Directive Number 1-144/KMA/SK/I/2011 on guidelines for the provision of information in the courts. The Supreme Court has also issued Supreme Court Regulation No. 02 of 2011 on procedures for the resolution of disputes over public information in the judicial system. One of the purposes of this Supreme Court Regulation is to ensure that the public rights that arise as a result of disputes over information in the Information Commission can be properly upheld. 3. Legal Aid and Assistance to the Poor and Marginalized In order to improve access to justice on the part of the poor and marginalized, at the end of 2010 the Supreme Court issued Supreme Court Circular Number 10 of 2010 on guidelines for the provision of legal aid. The provision of legal aid commenced at the start of 2011. As of the end of December 2011, the Legal Aid Center in the Religious Courts had handled 34,647 beneficiaries, or 300% of the original target of 11,553 beneficiaries, with Rp 4,053,968,138 of the total budget of Rp 4,152,000,000 having been spent. The amply demonstrates the success of the Legal Aid Center program and the high level of demand on the part of the poor and marginalized to access justice. The provision of legal aid in the District Courts is still at the development stage. In August 2011, the Director General of Public Courts issued Director General’s Directive Number 1/DJU/OT.01.3/VIII/2011, which sets out guidelines for the provision of legal aid in criminal cases, while guidelines for the implementation of legal aid in civil cases and the establishment of legal aid centers are still at the development stage. It is planned that the Director General of Public Courts will conduct trials involving the establishment of legal aid centers in 39 courts in 2012. In collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Supreme Court has commenced solemnizing the marriages of Indonesian migrant workers. Based on Supreme Court Directive No. 084/2011 on permission for the Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 1 10 solemnization of marriages in Indonesia representative offices, dated 25 May 2011, the Central Jakarta Religious Court conducted marriage solemnization ceremonies in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia, for the first time ever on 25 May 2011. Held in collaboration with the RI consulate general in Kota Kinabalu, the Central Jakarta Religious Court considered a total of 367 previously unofficial marriages, out of which figure 336 were officialized. Meanwhile, of the remaining cases, 27 could not be officialized as the petitioners failed to show up, 4 applications were rejected as the cases involved divorce proceedings that were currently underway in Indonesia, while the application was rejected as the husband was married twice. IV. ROLE OF THE SUPREME COURT IN INTERNATIONAL FORUMS IN March 2011, the Supreme Court was selected to serve as host of the first ever Asia Pacific regional conference of the International Association of Court Administrators (IACA), which was attended by more than 70 delegates from 19 countries, including six chief justices, as well as more than 70 local delegates. The IACA Conference was held at the Bogor State Palace in West Java and was opened by RI President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. On 19 September 2011, a delegation from the Government of Bangladesh visited the Supreme Court in connection with the establishment of an anticorruption court in Bangladesh, which has already made many of the necessary preparations by enacted an Anticorruption Act. In November 2011, the RI Supreme Court was once again honored to act as the host of the Roundtable Meeting of ASEAN Chief Justices on Environment. The event, which was conducted in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank and the United Nations Environment Programme, marked a first step towards harmonization law enforcement in the environmental field among judicial institutions in ASEAN. On 16 November 2011, the Chief Justice of Sudan, Mr Galal Ed Dien Muhammed Othman, visited the RI Supreme Court and signed an MoU on collaboration in the judicial sphere, which in essence concerned the exchange of judicial information and experiences. Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 1 11 The Chief Justice of the RI Supreme Court visited the Supreme Court (Hoge Raad) of the Netherlands at the end of November 2011 for the purpose of sounding out the possibility of closer collaboration between the two Supreme Courts. V. STRENGTHENING THE REFORM PROGRAM The implementation of reform in the Supreme Court in 2011 commenced receiving funding from the National Budget. This marked a change from previous years, where much of the reform program was funded by overseas donors. VI.BUREAUCRATIC REFORM The Supreme Court has identified bureaucratic reform as one of its priorities. On 2 May 2011, the Supreme Court Chief Justice issued Supreme Court Directive Number 71/KMA/SK/V/2011 on the Bureaucratic Reform Committee, which has the overall objective of encouraging the implementation of bureaucratic reform as expeditiously as possible, particularly as regards preparing quality assurance processes. In mid 2011, the Supreme Court conducted a preparatory assessment survey on bureaucratic reform. One of the questionnaires employed as part of this process focused on elements of wave two of the bureaucratic reform process. These were distributed to all courts so as to identify the preparedness of all units for implementing the quality assurance process. VII.INTERNAL SUPERVISION AND UPHOLDING OF BEHAVIORAL AND RECRUITMENT STANDARDS The Supreme Court is continuing to conduct internal supervision on a regular basis and to seek ways of encouraging greater integrity in the judicial institutions. During the course of 2011, the Supreme Court Supervisory Board received a total of 3,232 complaints, with 2,833 of these coming from the public, 258 from other institutions, and 141 received online through http://www.mahkamahagung.go.id/ di_web3/index.asp. Of these complaints, 38% of them were found not to merit further action. Of those in respect of which action was taken, 35% were responded to by letter, and only around 6% were found to merit follow-up action by the Supervisory Board. The remainder were delegated to the courts of first instance and appeal, or delegated internally, or combined. A total of 188 cases are still being examined. Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 1 12 In 2011, a total of 43 court officials were subjected to severe disciplinary measures, 22 to medium disciplinary measures, and 62 to light disciplinary measures, while 3 officials from the Military Courts received punishments, with 2 of them receiving reprimands and 1 being detained for a short period.

REFORM AGENDA The year 2011 marks the second milestone year of achieving judicial reform as set out in the 2010-2035 Judicial Reform Blueprint. In the context of discharging the principal duties of the courts, the reform effort is focused on reform of technical functions and case management.

Meanwhile, reform in the field of case management is directed at ensuring the realization of the Supreme Court’s two missions: first, ensuring certainty and justice for those who come to the courts; and, second, improving the particularly and credibility of the judicial bodies.

Applications for Legal Opinions (Fatwa) Based on article 37 of the Supreme Court Law (Law No. 14 of 1985), as amended by Law Number 5 of 2004, and the Second Amendment of Law No. 3 of 2009, the Supreme Court may provide clarifications, considerations and advice on legal issues to state and governmental institutions. In 2011, the Supreme Court received a total of 221 applications for legal opinions, of which 14 have already been responded to by the Supreme Court while the remainder are still in process or failed to satisfy the requirements. Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 2 25 2. Case Management Performance in 2011 The Supreme Court uses two indicators in assessing its case management performance. First, the cases disposal ratio, also known as the clearance rate, that is, the comparison between the total number of incoming and outgoing cases. It may be said that the Supreme Court is performing well if the clearance rate is a minimum of 100%. The setting of a minimum clearance rate of 100% is necessary due to the continuing backlog problem in the Supreme Court. Second, a continuing erosion in the size of the backlog. This second indicator is a logical consequence of the first. With a minimum ratio that is equal to or greater than the number of incoming and decided cases, this will result in the number of backlogged cases declining. The Supreme Court may be said to be performing well if the number of outstanding or backlogged cases shows a decline compared with the previous period. a. Case Examination The Supreme Court’s caseload in 2011 stood at 21,414. This figure consisted of 8,424 cases left over from 2010, and a total of 12,990 new cases received in 2011. Of the total number of cases, the Supreme Court managed to decide 13,719 cases, or 61.95%. This figure marked a decline of 4.50% compared with the previous year, when the figure was 13,891 cases.

Case Disposal In 2011, the Supreme Court received 12,990 cases, and returned 15,223 cases to the originating courts. Thus, the case clearance ratio in 2011 was 117.19%. This marked the highest level in the last five years. The number of cases being sent back to the originating courts in 2011 experienced a 4.16% increase over the figure for 2011 , which stood at 14,662. Over the last five years, the number of cases being disposed of by the Supreme Court has shown an continuously increasing trend. This has been due to, among other things, the policy that requires the submission of electronic documentation for every appeal in cassation and final review. In addition, improvements in forwarding cases, such as in the speed of summarization and filing, have been introduced by the Supreme Court Registry. The following table shows the case clearance rates for the last five years: Table 14 Case Clearance Rate for Period 2007-2011 No. Year Incoming Outgoing % 1 2007 9.516 10.554 110,91 2 2008 11.338 9.351 82 3 2009 12.540 14.483 114,68 4 2010 13.480 14.662 108,77 5 2011 12.990 15.223 117,19 c. Situation Regarding Outstanding Cases and Case Backlog The Supreme Court defines “outstanding cases” and “case backlog” differently. Outstanding cases are those cases that have yet to be decided at the time when the Annual Report is being prepared, while the case backlog consists of cases that have not been disposed of at the expiry of the set period. Based on Supreme Court Directive No. 138/2009, the said period is one year from the date on which the case in question was listed, or thirty days in the case of particular cases as provided for by the provisions of the laws and regulations in effect. Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 2 29 Thus, not all cases that have yet to be disposed of are treated as being part of the backlog. Conversely, the backlog does not just consist of cases that have yet to be decided, but rather also includes cases that have been decided but which have yet to be sent back to the originating court within the prescribed timeframe. While the terms “outstanding cases” and “case backlog” are used in different contexts, both of them serve as indicators of the court’s performance is disposing of cases. The smaller the percentage of outstanding cases and backlogged cases, the better the performance of the court. We will now discuss the situation as regards outstanding cases and the case backlog in 2011. 1) Outstanding Cases The number of outstanding cases as of the end of December 2011 stood at 7,695. This represents 35.95% of cases when compared with a total number of 21,414 cases. This figure marked a decline compared with the previous year, when the percentage was 37.75%. The following table shows the figures for the last five years: Table 15 Data on Originating Courts for the Last Five Years No Year Caseload Decided Outstanding % 1 2007 21,541 10,714 10,827 50.26% 2 2008 22,165 13,885 8,280 37.36% 3 2009 20,820 11,985 8,835 42.44% 4 2010 22,315 13,891 8,424 37.75% 5 2011 21,414 13,719 7,695 35.93% From the above table, it will be seen that the number of oc2 has declined despite the number of cases received increasing. This means that the productivity of the Supreme Court in deciding cases is improving. The Supreme Court’s progress in reducing the number of outstanding cases over the last five years is as shown in the following chart: Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 2 30 Figure 7 Supreme Court’s progress in reducing number of outstanding cases over the last 5 years. 2) Case Backlog Cases Undecided after more than one year The number of undecided cases as per the end of December 2011 stood at 7,695. Of these cases, the number of cases of more than one year old (categorized as part of the backlog) stood at 1,813. Meanwhile, 5,882 cases were less than one year old and had been listed in 2011. Decided Cases Not Yet Verified and archived after More Than One Year At the end of December 2011, the number of decided cases that had yet to be verified and archived stood at 5,639. Of this figure, a total of 2,863 cases were categorized as part of the backlog (more than one year old), with those aged between 1 and 2 years numbering 1,923, and those aged more than 2 years numbering 940. Consequently, the total number of backlog cases as per the end of December 2011 stood at 4,676. d. Active Cases By active cases is meant cases that have yet to be disposed of so that they are still before then Supreme Court, and accordingly are part of the Supreme Court’s caseload. Active cases consist of three possibilities: Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 2 31 first, they have yet to be decided; second, they have been decided but have yet to be verified and archived, and third, they have been verified and archived but have yet to be returned to the originating court during the reporting period. Based on data per end of December 2011, the number of active cases stood at 16,547, consisting of 7,695 cases that had yet to be decided and 8,852 cases that had yet to be verified and archived. The number of active cases declined by 11.89% compared with the previous year, when the figure was 18,780. 3. Performance in the Handling of Cases of Particular Public Importance IN 2011, the Supreme Court received a total of 2,980 special criminal cases. This figure marked a decline of 9.45% compared with the previous year, when the figure was 3,291 cases. Meanwhile, the number of outstanding special criminal cases in 2010 number 1,734 so that the total number of special criminal cases handled by the Supreme Court in 2010 amounted to 5,025.

Thus, the percentage of outstanding cases at the end of 2011 stood at 31.97%. As regards special criminal cases that were registered in 2011, of the 2,980 incoming cases, the Supreme Court decided a total of 1,868, or 57.40%, meaning that more than half of the special criminal cases were decided in the same year. The following table describes the disposal of special criminal cases registered in 2010 by type of application: Table 17 Description of Disposal of Special Criminal Cases Registered in 2011 by Type of Application No. Type 1 Cassation 2 Final review 3 Clemency Total Incoming Decided Outstanding % Decided 2658 1705 953 64.15% 281 128 153 45.55% 41 35 6 85.37% 2980 1868 1112 62.68% As will be seen from the above table, the number of special criminal cases decided at the cassation level stood at 1,705, or 64.15% of the cases received in 2011. The decisions on appeal in cassation in these cases are as shown in the following table: Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 2 33 Table 18 Decisions on Appeal in Cassation in Special Criminal Cases in 2011 No Decision Number % 1 Decision of District Court/ Appellate Court to convict; Supreme Court rejects appeal (Defendant still punished 1,172 68.74% 2 Decision of District Court / Appellate Court to convict; Supreme Court grants appeal (defendant still punished) 314 18.42% 3 Decision of District Court /Appellate Court to acquit; Supreme Court grants appeal (defendant still punished) 84 4.93% 4 Decision of District Court / Appellate Court to convict; Supreme Court grants appeal (defendant acquitted) 0 0.00% 5 Decision of District Court / Appellate Court to acquit; Supreme Court rejects appeal (defendant acquitted) 135 7.92% 1,705 Based on the above table, it will be seen that during 2011 the Supreme Court entered convictions in appeals in cassation/final reviews in a total of 1,570 cases (92.08%), while acquittals were entered in 135 cases, or 7.92%. However, the said acquittals were actually acquittals in the District Court from which the appeals originated and which appeals were rejected by the Supreme Court so that the defendants continued to be acquitted. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court entered no acquittals increasing the overturning of the original verdict of the Supreme Court/Appellate Court during 2011.

These acquittals were based on appeals against acquittals in the District Court, where the appeals were rejected so that the defendants remained free. In 2011, the Supreme Court imposed death sentences on 2 persons involved in drug cases, while life sentences were imposed on 10 defendants involved in drugs cases. This figure marked an increase of 150% compared with the previous year, when the figure was 4 cases. Besides imprisonment, defendants in special criminal cases were also ordered to pay fines and restitution, which in total amounted to Rp 992,646,942,760.00.

III.CASE MANAGEMENT SITUATION IN THE COURTS THROUGHOUT INDONESIA IN 2011 The courts throughout Indonesia, at all levels and all jurisdictions, received a total of 5,206,222 cases in 2011. The number of outstanding cases left over from 2010 amounted to 113,300, with the result that the caseload in 2011 amounted to 5,319,522 cases. The number of cases received during 2011 increased by 70.60% compared with the previous year, when the figure was 3,051,717.1 Of the overall caseload, the courts decided 5,189,266 cases, or 97.55%, leaving the number of outstanding cases as per the end of December 2011 at 130,256 (2.45%).

This data differs from the data presented in the Supreme Court’s 2010 Year Book. This difference results from the fact that at the time of the deadline for the 2010 annual report, the data from the Directorates General was still not final. In the 2010 annual report it is stated that the number of outstanding cases in the Courts of First Instance throughout Indonesia stood at 112,564, consisting of 38,904 cases in the public courts, 62.975 cases in the Religious Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 2 37 1.

During 2011, a total of 4,761,797 criminal cases were received by the District Courts, while the number of outstanding cases left over from 2010 stood at 26,336. Thus, the total number of criminal cases handled by the District Courts in 2011 amounted to 4,788,133. Of this figure, the majority were summary cases (misdemeanors and traffic offenses, which numbered 4,667,921 cases, or 98.03% of all criminal cases. The rest consisted of ordinary offenses (119,375 or 1.96%) and minor offenses (837 or 0.02%). 2. Appellate Courts During 2011, the Appellate Courts throughout Indonesia received a total of 14,740 cases. This figure marked a decline of 0.77% compared with the previous year, when the figure was 14,681 cases. Meanwhile, the number of cases outstanding from 2010 numbered 2,643, meaning that the total caseload handled by the Appellate Courts in 2011 amounted to 17,373 cases. Of this figure, 14,300 cases were decided, leaving a backlog of 3,073 cases at the end of December 2011.

The situation in all of the Appellate Court jurisdictions in 2011 is as shown in the following table: Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 2 39 Table 25 Case Situation in All Appellate Court Jurisdictions Throughout Indonesia, 2011 Court Jurisdiction Public Religious Military Administrative Total Outstanding Incoming 2.217 11.360 192 2.199 Total Decided Outstanding 13.577 10.911 2.666 2.391 2.189 202 36 361 397 368 29 188 820 1008 832 176 2.633 14.740 17.373 14.300 3.073 The Anticorruption Courts During the course of 2011, the 33 Anticorruption Courts received a total of 872 corruption cases. With 392 cases outstanding from 2010, this meant that the Anticorruption Courts had a total caseload of 1,264 cases in 2011. Of all the cases dealt with during 2011, the Anticorruption Courts decided 466, with the result that there were 789 cases outstanding at the end of December 2011 (63.13%).

Of this figure, the Anticorruption Appellate Courts managed to decided 433 cases, leaving 130 cases outstanding at the end of 2011, giving a case clearance rate at the appellate level of 79.91%. Based on a comparison between the number of corruption cases decided at first instance (466 cases) and the number of appeals (563), it will be seen that almost all decisions were appealed. In addition, the number of cases received by the Anticorruption Appellate Courts was higher than the number of cases decided at first instance due to the fact that not all cases handled by the Anticorruption Appellate Courts came from the anticorruption courts at first instance, but rather were assigned to the Anticorruption Appellate Courts by other courts. IV. FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE STATE TREASURY The case funds managed by the Supreme Court and its subordinate courts are received from the levying of court costs and registry charges (non-tax state revenues). The funds that are subsequently paid into the state treasury represent Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 2 40 a contribution by the judicial power to national revenues. In addition to Registry charges, funds paid into the state treasury by the courts originate from fines and restitution payments in particular types of cases. During the course of 2011, the total non-tax state revenues received by the Supreme Court and its subordinate courts, and fines/restitution payments paid by convicted defendants were as follows: Table 26 Financial Contribution by the Courts to the State Treasury No a.

REFORM OF TECHNICAL AND CASE MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS In the 2010-2035 Judicial Reform Blueprint, it is stated that all reform measures on the technical side must be aimed at ensuring the implementation of the judicial power in an independent, effective and just manner. The reform of technical functions may also be interpreted as an effort to revitalize the function of the Supreme Court as the highest court in the context of ensure legal unity, and revitalizing the functions of the courts in the context of improving public access to justice. A number of reform efforts in the technical and case management fields were undertaken during the course of 2011, as described below: Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 2 41 1. Application of chamber system in the Supreme Court The application of the chamber system is one of the technical reform agendas mandated by the 2010-2035 Judicial Reform Blueprint. In discharging this mandate, the Supreme Court issued Directive Number 142/KMA/SK/IX/2011 dated 19 September 2011 in tandem with the holding of the Supreme Court’s 2011 National Working Meeting. Under this Directive, the Supreme Court resolved to introduce a chamber system from 19 September 2011. However, in doing so, a transition period will be applied up until April 2014. During this transition period, the application of the chamber system will have regard to the current conditions in and structure of the Supreme Court. The objective of introducing the chamber system is as stated in Appendix I to the aforesaid Supreme Court Directive, namely, to safeguard consistency in judicial decisions, improve the professionalism of Supreme Court justices, and to accelerate the case disposal process in the Supreme Court. As part of the application of the chamber system, the Supreme Court will introduce five different divisions, namely, the Civil Division, Criminal Division, Administrative Division, Religious Division, and Ministry Division. The Civil Division will also consist of a number of sub-divisions, namely, the Civil Sub-Division and Special Civil Sub-Division, while the Criminal Division will consist of the Criminal Sub-Division, Special Sub-Division, and NonCorruption Special Sub-Division. The chamber system in the Supreme Court will only be applied to appeals in cassation and final reviews. Meanwhile, the other jurisdictions of the Supreme Court, namely, hearing petitions for clemency, giving legal opinions, hearing petitions for judicial review and resolving disputes over jurisdiction between courts shall be heard and adjudicated outside the chamber system. In order to ensure the effective application of the chamber system, the Supreme Court has issued the following supporting directives: - Chief Justice’s Directive No. 143/KMA/SK/IX/2011 tanggal 19 September 2011 on the appointment of chamber heads as part of the application of the chamber system; - Chief Justice’s Directive No. 144/KMA/SK/IX/2011 on the appointment of justices as chamber members as part of the application of the chamber system in the Republic of Indonesia Supreme Court. Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 2 42 - Chief Justice’s Directive Number 162/KMA/SK/X/2011 tanggal 24 October 2011 on the naming of the chambers of the Republic of Indonesia Supreme Court. - Chief Justice’s Directive Number 163/KMA/SK/X/2011 dated 24 October 2011 on the amendment of Directive Number 144/KMA/SK/ IX/2011 on the appointment of justices as chamber members as part of the application of the chamber system in the Republic of Indonesia Supreme Court. - Chief Justice’s Directive Number 171/KMA/HK.01/XII/2011 dated 17 December 2011 on the procedures for the application of the chamber system. 2. Addition of Communications Feature in the Supreme Court Directory of Decisions for the Electronic Transmission of Documents from the Courts of First Instance to the Supreme Court The Directory of Supreme Court Decisions http://decidedan. mahkamahagung.go.id) is a system that has been developed by the Supreme Court for the publication of the Supreme Court’s decisions. The system has been in existence since 2006 and has been undergoing continuous development by the Supreme Court Registry to date. Among the developments that were instituted in 2011 are the addition of a new data communication feature. This feature was introduced in connection with the issuing of Supreme Court Circular No. 14 of 2010, which requires the courts to attach certain electronic documents to appeals in cassation and final reviews. This feature has become the method of choice of the courts in sending electronic documents, in addition to the two other available methods, namely, flash discs/compact discs and electronic mail. Through this feature, the Courts of First Instance can send data to the Supreme Court in both directions in respect of appeals in cassation and final reviews. For the Supreme Court, the use of the feature allows the real-time transmission of information on cases that are to be appealed in cassation. In addition, the Supreme Court can immediately download the attached files, as required under Supreme Court Circular Number 14 of 2010. Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 2 43 All of the work undertaken by the Supreme Court, including opening, downloading, registering and uploading decisions, is directly communicated through the system to the originating court. In addition, data communications can also be sent by electronic mail from the originating court. Furthermore, in the case of appeals in cassation and final reviews, this feature can be used by the Courts of First Instance and Appellate Courts when submitting appeals. 3. Upgrading the Directory of Judgments into the National Judgment Repository In 2011, the Supreme Court Registry upgraded the Directory of Judgments by providing access to all court jurisdictions through Indonesia at http:// decidedan.mahkamahagung.go.id. Following this latest development, the decisions published on the Supreme Court’s Directory of Judgments do not only consist of Supreme Court dn2, but also judgments from the courts at all levels and all jurisdictions. Whereas previously the courts published their decisions on their own websites, not their decisions are published on the Supreme Court’s Directory of Judgments so as to facilitate the public in accessing information. This process of centralization has resulted in the Directory of Judgments becoming a National Judgment Repository. As per 31 December 2011, the number of judgments published in the Directory of Judgments amounted to 120,410, consisting of 90,762 judgments of the Court of First Instance and the Appellate Courts (75.38%), and 33,648 judgments of the Supreme Court (24.62%). The number of judgments uploaded to the Directory of Judgments has been recognized by Sebastian Pompe, the program manager of the National Legal Reform Program (NLRP), in an article that was published in The Jakarta Post on 29 March 2011. In the said article, Pompe stated that the number of judgments published in the Directory of Judgments (at that time 22,437) was more than that published in the United States, Netherlands, and Australia over the last ten years, and more than published in the United States over the last one hundred years. (http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2011/03/29/ legal-uncertainty-caused-advocates.html). Meanwhile, online news portal Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 2 44 detik news (www.detiknews.com) carried an article on Thursday, 12 January 2011 at 10:57 Western Indonesian Time, praising the Supreme Court for earning a “World record for having uploaded 120 thousand judgments in 2011.” The following graph shows the progress achieved in uploading decisions to the Directory of Judgments between 2007 and 2011: Figure 8 Ihe progress achieved in uploading decisions to the Directory of Judgments between 2007 and 2011 Overall, the number of judgments uploaded to the Directory of Judgments up to 31 December 2011 amounted to 144,995. Of these, 122,708, or 84.91%, were uploaded this year. The number of decisions uploaded in 2011 increased by 2,108.75% from 2010, when only 5,819 judgments were uploaded. This increase was due to the higher level of participation by the Courts of First Instance and Appellate Courts. As regards Supreme Court judgments, the number uploaded during 2011 stood at 12,189. This figure marked an increase of 109.47% compared with the previous year, when the figure was 5,819 decisions. Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 2 45 CHAPTER 3 ACCESS TO JUSTICE Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 2 46 Chapter III Access to Justice I. JUDICIAL REFORM AGENDA The Supreme Court’s target for the next five years is that the public will benefit from greater access to justice. A number of support programs are consistently being improved, including access to information, reduced fees for the poor and marginalized, legal assistance and other programs. II. LEGAL SERVICES AND ASSISTANCE FOR THE POOR AND MARGINALIZED. 1. Legal Services and Assistance In order to improve the legal assistance mechanism in the courts, the Supreme Court issued Supreme Court Circular No. 10 of 2010 on guidelines for the granting of legal assistance. a. Legal Aid Posts Under Supreme Court Circular Number 10 of 2010, legal aid posts in the public courts are to be staffed by advocates who will be responsible for providing legal assistance to those who need it. The Legal Aid Posts will be used to fill in applications for legal assistance, the provision of assistance with legal documents, legal advice and consultations, further referrals on how to get dispensations from paying fees, and the provision of services by advocates. The Legal Aid Posts are intended to benefit people who no little about the law and who are unable to pay for a lawyer. In the public courts, the Director General of Public Courts has issued Circular Number 412/DJU/OT.01.2/IV/2011 of 25 April 2011 on the implementation of the Legal Aid Post system in sitting venues. This circular instructs every District Court to provide an appropriate room to serve as a Legal Aid Post. The Director General of Public Courts has already conducted an inventory of court facilities in 2011 as part of the Program to Improve Legal Aid Services. This was intended to identify the extent to which Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 3 47 legal aid funds are being properly used, and at the same time to provide information on Supreme Court Circular No. 10 of 2010 on guidelines for the provision of legal aid, and Implementation Guidelines No. 1/DJU/ OT.3/VIII/2011. These activities are now being implemented in 10 High Court jurisdictions. The budget allocated by the Directorate General of Public Courts for the provision of legal assistance in 344 courts around the country in 2011 amounted to Rp 34,519,500,000. However, only Rp 1,212,350,000 of this was spent, with a total of 1,455 cases being involved. The implementation of legal assistance in the Religious Courts was clarified with the issuance of implementation guidelines in the form of a directive of the Deputy Chief Justice for Religious Courts, 04/Tuada-Ag/ II/2011 dated 21 February 2011, and the Supreme Court Secretary’s Directive number 020/Sek/SK/II/2011. The Legal Aid Posts in the Religious Courts provide information, consultations, advice and help with the preparation of claims/petitions. In the particular case of jinayah cases in the Shariah Courts, assistance may also be provided by an advocate free of charge, in the same way as happens in the District Courts. Those providing legal assistance in the Legal Aid Posts come from outside the courts (advocates, law graduates and shariah graduates) who work for legal aid organizations under the auspices of advocates’ associations, institutes of higher education, and NGOs that have signed MoUs with the local religious court. IN 2011, the Religious Courts had a target of 11,553 users of Legal Aid Post services based on a budget of Rp 4,152,000,000. However, as per December 2011, a total of 34,647 users had been served by the Legal Aid Posts, meaning an increase of more than 300% of the original target. b. Pro Deo Services and Itinerant sessions Itinerant sessions are sessions that are held on a regular or periodic basis by the court in a place within the court’s jurisdiction but outside of the court’s seat. Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 3 48 Itinerant sessions are intended to provide access to justice to people living in remote areas where people have difficulty in paying for transportation expenses. The introduction of itinerant sessions in 2011 received a positive response from the public. Of the 273 target locations originally identified by the Director General of Religious Courts, itinerant sessions were eventually held in 338 locations, while of the targeted 11,553 cases, the Religious Courts managed to hear 18,549 cases during itinerant sessions (an increase over the target of 160%). The justices and officials of the Religious Courts sometimes even have to make treacherous sea crossings in primitive boats to bring circuit hearings to isolated areas. They have to make these journeys as there is frequently no other way of accessing locations where circuit hearings are to be held. However, this is understandable given the large number of islands in Indonesia. The introduction of itinerant sessions has been of significant assistance in resolving the “birth certificate” problem. IN 2011, the Religious Courts received a total of 25,180 marriage validation petitions. With the validation of previously unregistered marriages, people are able to get birth certificates for their children. In 2011, the Religious Courts targeted 11,553 pro deo cases based on a budget of Rp 3,465,900,000. Of this figure, only Rp 1,620,440,301, or approximately 46.8%, was actually spent. The Religious Courts received a total of 10,507 pro deo cases, or around 91% of the target. Marriage Validation Session in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia The Supreme Court has achieved a major new breakthrough in providing public access to justice so that access to justice is not only enjoyed by citizens residing in Indonesia, but also by citizens living in other countries. Based on Supreme Court Directive Number 084/KMA/SK/V/2011 on permission for marriage validation sessions at Republic of Indonesia Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 3 49 representative offices, the Central Jakarta Religious Court held a marriage validation in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. This policy of the Supreme Court is based on a realization of the need to be sensitive and responsive to the legal problems faced by people. Unofficial or unregistered marriages are very common among both Indonesians in general and Indonesian migrant workers in particular, particularly those experiencing immigration problems. From the legal perspective, those who participate in unregistered marriages have no right to a marriage certificate, even though this is of the utmost importance for immigration documents. Consequently, such marriage validation sessions of the Religious Courts provide a solution for Indonesian migrants, and allows them to obtain marriage certificates after their marriages have been validated. In collaboration with the Indonesian consulate general in Kota Kinabalu, the Central Jakarta Religious Court heard 367 petitions for the validation of unregistered marriages, of which 335 petitions were granted. Meanwhile, of the remaining cases, 27 could not be officialized as the petitioners failed to show up, 4 applications were rejected as the cases involved divorce proceedings that were currently underway in Indonesia, while the application was rejected as the husband was married twice. c. Circuit Sessions For the purpose of helping those who live far away from the District Court’s seat, particularly the poor and marginalized, a number of District Courts have been holding circuit sessions based on Director General of Public Courts Directive Number 1/DJU/OT.01.3/I/2012 dated 26 January 2012. To date, circuit sessions are held in 59 locations, 39 of which belong to the Supreme Court, with 19 of these being in good condition and 15 in poor condition due to disasters, with the result that funding is needed for repairs. Meanwhile, 25 other circuit locations are owned by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 3 50 2. Constraints and Solutions a. Directorate General of Public Courts The constraint most frequently faced in connection with the legal assistance program for the poor is the unwillingness of people to seek help. Frequently defendants do not want to be assisted by advocates at the cost of the state as they think they will be stigmatized as being poor or will experience problems during the course of the trial. As regards circuit sessions, the constraints faced by the Directorate General of Public Courts are as follows: (1) buildings only partially transferred to the Supreme Court; (2) many buildings owned by the Supreme Court are in poor condition and unsuitable for use. In order to overcome these constraints, the Directorate General of Public Courts has instituted the following measures, among others: - Persuading people that they have the right to legal assistance, particularly in the case of the poor; - More intensive dissemination of information on Supreme Court Circular Number 10 of 2010, and its implementing guidelines; - The issuance of Director General of Public Courts Directive Number 1/DJU/OT.01.3/VIII/2011 on guidelines for the implementation of Supreme Court Circular No. 10 of 2010; - Regularly monitoring the implementation of legal aid, legal aid posts, and circuit sessions so as to ensure that all of these are improved; - Improved/renovating circuit court locations that are damaged by providing the necessary funds for repairs. b. Directorate General of Religious Courts As legal aid posts are a relatively new innovation in the Religious Courts, it should come as no surprise that a number of problems have emerged on the ground. These include the fact the some legal aid post personnel do not properly understand the procedural processes in the Religious Courts. As a result, petitions and claims, responses and rejoinders are frequently not in accordance with the rules prevailing in the Religious Courts. As a result, a case may be rejected due to lack of clarity. If this happens, obviously the party concerned will be greatly prejudiced. Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 3 51 Another problem is that legal aid post personnel are frequently not familiar with technical Islamic legal terminology, which it should be noted represents the substantive law in the Religious Courts. This is a result of the fact that many of those working in the legal aid posts are trained in public law rather than shariah law. In addition, the infrastructure available to the legal aid posts in the Religious Courts is frequently inadequate, such as insufficient space, lack of office stationery, inadequate computer facilities, etc. IN the case of the pro deo program, the uptake of funds has been relatively poor. This is because people have difficulties in obtaining Certificates of Inadequate Means, which are a precondition for submitting an application for a pro deo case. Sometimes people have to expend more on a Certificate of Inadequate Means than they would actually have to pay in court fees. In addition, people also face psychological problems, and feel embarrassed about having to seek pro deo services. In order to overcome the aforementioned constraints, the following measures, among others, have been adopted: - Integrated program of socialization among court officials and the public; - 2012 budget proposal that is capable of supporting the implementation of the legal aid post program. 3. Legal Aid Next Year With the enactment of Law Number 16 of 2011 on legal assistance, the operation of the legal aid posts will come under the auspices of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, and will not longer be the responsibility of the Supreme Court. This law enters into effect in 2013. However, in 2012 the operation of the legal aid posts will continue to be the responsibility of the Supreme Court. III.ACCESS TO JUDICIAL INFORMATION 1. Judicial Information Services Prior to the enactment of Law Number 14 of 2008 on freedom of information, which entered into effect on 30 April 2010, the Supreme Court had already Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 3 52 issued Directive Number 144/KMA/SK/VII/2007 on access to public information in the judicial system, which was subsequently amended by Directive Number 1-144/KMA/SK/I/2011. The establishment of information desks in the courts has played an important role in the realization of the ten court values,2 one of which is information transparency in the judicial system. 2. Publication of Supreme Court Information a. Publication of Information on Cases and Decisions The publication of decisions, which can be accessed at http:// decidedan.mahkamahagung.go.id, was commenced by the Supreme Court in 2007. Meanwhile, as regards case information, this can be accessed at http://kepaniteraan.mahkamahagung.go.id. AS of the end of 2011, the Supreme Court had published 145,309 decisions, including 9,607 decisions of the Public Courts, 91,725 decisions of the Religious Courts, 3,158 decisions of the Military Courts, and 1,399 decisions of the State Administrative Courts. b. Performance of the Information Desks The Supreme Court has integrated information technology into the operation of the information desks so that information can be accessed online at any time and in any place. The establishment of an information desk in each court has had positive impacts in a number of regards, including: · Reducing the opportunities for litigants to meet with justices and registrars; · Allowing litigants and court users to seek and obtain transcripts of decisions; · Reduced cost as the Supreme Court’s website can be accessed from anywhere. The public continues to give a warm response to this service. For example, between its establishment on 29 June 2009 and 31 December 2009, the Supreme Court’s information desk received a total of 481 2 Among the court values agreed on by the International Consortium for Court Excellence are equality before the law, fairness, impartiality, independence of decision making, competence, integrity, transparency, accessibility, timeliness and certainty. http://www.courtexcellence.com/ Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 3 53 queries. The number of visitors increased drastically in 2010 to 2,140, representing an increase of 122.45%. Meanwhile in 2011, the number of users of the information desk at the Supreme Court amounted to 1,779, which figure marked a decline of about 20% compared with the previous year. This decline was due to the fact that it is no easier for members of the public to seek information directly from the court’s websites, such as http://kepaniteraan. mahkamahagung.go.id/perkara and http://sms.mahkamahagung.go.id for information on cases, and http://decidedan.mahkamahagung.go.id for court documents. 3. Information Services in the Courts a. Performance of the Directorate General of Religious Courts Information Service In order to maximize the work of its information desk, the Director General of Religious Courts issued Directive Number 017/Dj.A/SK/VII/2011 on guidelines for the operation of information desks in the Religious Courts. The Directorate General also conducts monitoring of the work of the information desks based on Director General of Religious Courts Circular Number 2510/Dj.A.1/HK.00/VIII/20011. A special team is tasked by the Director General with ensuring that the information desks are operating as they should. Among the important findings of this monitoring work are the following: 1) Many of the Religious Courts are applying the information desk system effectively and in accordance with Supreme Court Directive Number 1-144/KMA/SK/I/2011 and Director General of Religious Courts Circular Number 017/Dj.A/SK/VII/2011. 2) Many Religious Courts resort to various improvisations in order to improve the quality of the services provided by the information desks. 3) The sterile areas are being properly implemented. These are designed to prevent improper contacts between litigants and court officials. Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 3 54 Information desks in the Religious Courts are equipped with computers that use the SIADPA program, which allows all information on cases such as the schedule of hearings, progress of the case, divorce certificates and so forth to be easily accessed and presented to justice seekers. These information desks also provide various brochures and leaflets on the judicial process, court profiles, court jurisdiction, costs and so forth. A touch-screen computer is also available to help information seekers, as are SMS information services through which information on court hearings, divorce certificates and so forth is automatically sent to individuals’ cell phones. In order to improve the skills of those attending to the information desks, the Directorate General of Religious Courts has been collaborating with the Family Court of Australia (FCoA) facilitated by the Australia Indonesia Partnership for Justice (AIPJ), which to date has held three workshops on the operation of information desks, with the first workshop being held in 2011, and two held thus far in 2012. The first workshop was held on 12-14 December 2011, and was attended by 30 participants, representing 29 Religious Courts in Indonesia. The participants were encouraged to disseminate the skills and knowledge they had learned to information desk officers in their respective jurisdictions. b. Performance of the Directorate General of Public Courts Information Service Various types of information can be accessed by the public through the information desks in the District Courts, including hearing schedules, information on cases and decisions, information on personnel and profiles of justices and staff, and budget information. These information desks provide a variety of brochures on free legal aid, court costs, court profiles, etc. Through easy-to-use touch-screen computer facilities, justice seekers can obtain a wide variety of useful information. Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 3 55 c. Performance of the Directorate General of Military and Administrative Courts’ Information Service The public can access case information and submit complaints about the content available from the military and administrative courts information service, which covers a total of 55 line units. The service may be accessed at www.ditjenmiltun.net and www.ditjenmiltun.info. At the present time, 23 Military Courts and 32 State Administrative Courts have websites and information desks. Only 2 line units, namely, the Serang State Administrative Court and the Tanjung Pinang State Administrative Court do not as yet have an information service as both of these courts were only newly established in November 2011. As a result, the infrastructure available to them is still limited. IV. OTHER POLICIES RELATED TO ACCESS TO THE COURTS 1. Complaints against Decisions concerning Access to Information Law Number 14 of 2008 on access to information, which also governs the handling of complaints, gives rise to a variety of questions concerning such fundamental issues as the capacity of complainants, whether a public body can also submit a complaint, the question of the absolute competence of the court; the timeframe for the submission of complaints, the procedural law applicable, and the execution process. In response to these questions, the Supreme Court issued Supreme Court Regulation Number 02 of 2011 (on procedures for the resolution of disputes regarding access to public information in the judicial sphere) on 29 November 2011. This Regulation represents an effort to fill the prevailing legal vacuum that has the potential to give rise to legal uncertainty and confusion. 2. Mediation in the Courts As one form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), mediation offers a cheap, speedy, simple and flexible mechanism for resolving disputes. An agreement achieved as the outcome of mediation has the same executorial effect as a judicial decision, and an deed of resolution setting out Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 3 56 the agreement between the parties and the ruling of the judge validating the agreement is not subject to either ordinary or extraordinary legal measures (article 1(2) of Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2008). The implementation of mediation in the Public Courts and Religious Courts has to date not been the first choice of litigants. Nevertheless, positive developments are being recorded from year to year. In the particular case of the Religious Courts, mediation has had relatively little success to date. This is due to the fact that the cases that come before the Religious Courts are very difficult to mediate, such as in the case of broken marriages that are characterized by discord and strife. 3. Public Service standards in the courts In order to fulfill the mandate provide by Law Number 25 of 2009 on public services, the Supreme Court is currently in the process of framing a regulation on public service standards in the judicial sphere. Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 3 57 CHAPTER 4 JUDICIAL SUPERVISION Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 3 58 Chapter IV JUDICIAL SUPERVISION I. THE REFORM AGENDA The Supreme Court is currently diligently striving to implement various judicial reform programs as part of the effort to improve public confidence in the courts. For that reason, the Supreme Court, in collaboration with other institutions in the legal sphere, has prepared a Anticorruption Action Plan, working together with the Anti Legal Mafia Taskforce. One of the components of this action plan is the preparation of audit and performance evaluation instruments that cover judicial integrity, and strengthening the complaints mechanism at the appellate level. Integrity audits are intended to identify the level of acuteness and the modus of violations so as to help detect and prevent such violations and identify the roots of the problem and how to respond to violators. The conducting of a performance and integrity audit by the Supreme Court Supervisory Board involves two stages. The first stage consists of a tryout of the instruments that have been prepared. During the first stage, all of the Courts of First Instance in Jakarta will be audited, while in the second stage the audit will be extended to other areas using instruments that have been improved based on the tryouts in Jakarta. Findings of Integrity Audit The evaluation of overall integrity involves an appraisal of the integrity of the courts based on the areas covered by the prepared questionnaire, with appropriate weightings being assigned. During the first stage of the integrity audit in Jakarta, 3 courts were courts obtain the best outcome based on the results of an internal and external survey. However, as the first stage was still a tryout, a evaluation based on scoring and percentages was not carried out. During stage two of the integrity audit, 64 courts received the highest score and were placed in level 1 based on an internal survey. The details are as shown in the following table: Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 4 59 Table 1 Stage Two Internal Integrity Evaluation Court Level I Level II Level III District Court 26 10 6 Religious Court 29 6 3 State Administrative Court 6 1 3 Military Court 3 1 2 64 18 14 Total Based on the results of the external survey, 63 courts were ranking as being on Level I, 21 on Level II and 12 on Level III, as shown in the following table: Table 2 Stage Two External Integrity Evaluation Court Level I Level II Level III District Court 21 15 6 Religious Court 32 5 1 State Administrative Court 7 1 2 Military Court 3 0 3 63 21 12 Total Development of Complaint Mechanism Responding effectively to public complaints is one form of improved Supreme Court services to the public. Besides improvements to the online complaints mechanism in 2011, complaints can now also be forwarded through text messages. This service was established by virtue of Supreme Court Directive Number 216/KMA/SK/XII/2011, dated 27 December 2011 on guidelines for the handling of complaints via text messages. The introduction of a text message complaints service is intended to encourage officials in the Supreme Court and subordinate courts to report abuses of power, violations of the laws and regulations, and/or violations of the code of ethics and behavioral guidelines by officials of the Supreme Court and subordinate courts. Complaints can be sent by text message to the Supreme Court Supervisory Board to 0852-824.90.900, typing namapelapor#nip#satker#ibukotapropin si#terlapor#isipengaduan. The system will enter into effect in 2012. Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 4 60 II. IMPLEMENTATION OF DUTIES OF SUPREME COURT SUPERVISORY BOARD Internal supervision by the Supreme Court Supervisory Board in 2011: 1. Implementation of Internal Supervision a. Responding to public complaints The Supreme Court Supervisory Board received a total of 3,232 complaints in 2011, with the details being as shown below: Of the total number of complaints received (3,232), 1,253 were found to not merit processing, while 1,979 were found to merit processing. The details are as shown below: Investigated by the Supervisory Board = 122 Responded to by letter = 696 Delegated to Appellate Court = 314 Delegated to Court of First Instance = 109 Delegated internally = 62 *Combined with others = 488 Still being examined = 188 (*where the complainant and the substance are the same). 2. Regular Supervision In 2011, regular supervision was conducted in respect of 61 investigation subjects. This figure marked a decline of compared with the previous year, Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 4 61 when the figure was 106 investigation subjects were probed. This decline was due to a change in investigation procedures. Regular supervision during 2011 encompassed the District Courts, Religious Courts, State Administrative Courts and the Military Courts, as shown in the following chart: Figure 1 Regular Supervision 3.

Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 4 68 CHAPTER 5 HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 4 69 Chapter V HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT The Supreme Court continuously strives to improve the quality of its human resources so as to ensure the availability of honest, professional, dignified and responsible staff. I. REFORM AGENDA The effort to improve the quality of human resources is carried out through integrated improvements to systems and management. This is one of the priorities set out in the 2010-2035 Judicial Reform Blueprint. 1. Reform of the human resources development system In 2011, the Supreme Court conducted individual assessments as part of the process of selecting and assigning ecn1 1 structural officials. This process was conducted in accordance with the rules of the National Civil Service Board (BKN), which require the conducting of individual assessments. As part of this process, the “Assessment Center” method was employed, whereby the professional competencies of an individual as assessed through a number of simulations/indicators based on the competencies required for their job. The composition of Echelon 1 structural positions in the Supreme Court at the end of December 2011 was as follows: Table 1 composition of Echelon 1 structural positions in the Supreme Court at the end of December 2011 No. Number Notes 1 Supreme Court Secretary Position 1 Filled 2 Supreme Court Registrar (functionally the equivalent of Echelon I) 1 Filled 3 Director General of Public Courts 1 Filled 4 Director General of Religious Courts 1 Filled 5 Director General of Military and Administrative Courts 1 Filled 6 Law and Justice Research and Development Center 1 Filled 7 Supervisory Board 1 Filled 8 Administrative Affairs Board 1 Filled Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 5 70 2. Application of Human Resources System The Supreme Court is continuously developing its human resources database, which is gradually being computerized. The development of the human resources database is carried out in an integrated fashion with other Echelon 1 units within the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court database currently covers approximately 90% of staff. a. Employee Information System (SIKEP) At the present time, 34,229 (90%) of Supreme Court employees and the four court jurisdictions are actively listed on the Supreme Court’s Employee Information System (SIKEP). The use of the SIKEP application is available to around 20% of line units in the regions. b. National Civil Service Board’s Employee Services Application System (SAPK) The SAPK was launched on 19 July 2011 by the National Civil service Board (BKN) and is required to be used by all agencies for the purpose of proposing promotions and pensions for civil servants. The application was rolled out nationally on 25 July 2011. Almost 90% of Supreme Court employees are registered on the SAPK, with the remaining 10% not yet registered due to the difference in the pensionable age as between the Supreme Court and the BKN. The head of the BKN has said that the Supreme Court is one of the 10 big agencies whose data has been verified by the BKN. The Supreme Court is also proactive in reconciling its data with the BKN. c. Supreme Court Integrated Information System (SIMARI) SIMARI is an integrated system that provides applications covering the following: case management, employee management, asset management, planning and financial management. At the present time, SIMARI is almost 70% developed and is expected to be launched in April 2012. II. RECRUITMENT In line with the Supreme Court’s performance in 2011, it is planned to recruit a total of 1,850 staff. This recruitment drive is based on a workload analysis and job map prepared by the Supreme Court, with 1,715 persons being required to Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 5 71 fill candidate civil servant and candidate judge posts, 100 person to fill ad hoc judicial positions in the Anticorruption Courts and 35 persons to fill functional positions. The Supreme Court has proposed the recruitment process to the Minister for the State Apparatus and Bureaucratic Reform. However, with the issuance of the Joint Resolution of the Minister for the State Apparatus and Bureaucratic Reform, Minister of Home Affairs and Minister of Finance Regulation Number 02/SPB/M. PAN-RB/8/2011, Number 800-632 Th 2011 and Number 141/PMK.01/2011 dated 24 August 2011, the Supreme Court did not recruit any new candidate civil servants or judges during 2011. A total of 84 out of 100 ad hoc judges have been recruited, accounting for 84% of the number needed. As regards specific functional positions, such as archivists, human resources analysts, librarians, and so forth, the Supreme Court has targeted the recruitment of 35 individuals and has to date recruited 8, or 22.86% of the number needed. It is impossible to achieve a rate of 100% because due to the need for certification in order to be promoted to a functional position, technical budget difficulties, and the lack of awareness of the need for functional staff. 1. Development in the Human Resources Sector Development in the human resources sector covers human resources administration, human resources training, and participation in Level 1 and II Examinations, and the participation of functional officials in Credit Score Implementation Management (a total of 1,086 staff were involved). 2. Training for Anticorruption Judges The Supreme Court has provided training for ad hoc judges of the Anticorruption Court. This was participated in by 122 Anticorruption Court judges, consisting of 80 sitting at first instance and 40 sitting at the appellate level. 3. Positions on the Supreme Court Bench The Supreme Court’s chamber system entered into effect on 1 October 2011. During the transition phase up to April 2014, the chamber system will be applied having regard to the current conditions and organizational structure prevailing in the Supreme Court. Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 5 72 The objective of introducing the chamber system is as stated in Supreme Court Directive Number 142/KMA/SK/IX/2011, namely, to safeguard consistency in judicial decisions, improve the professionalism of Supreme Court justices, and to accelerate the case disposal process in the Supreme Court. As part of the application of the chamber system, the Supreme Court will introduce five different divisions, namely, the Civil Division, Criminal Division, Administrative Division, Religious Division, and Military Division. The chamber system in the Supreme Court will only be applied to appeals in cassation and final reviews. Meanwhile, the other jurisdictions of the Supreme Court, namely, hearing petitions for clemency, giving legal opinions, hearing petitions for judicial review and resolving disputes over jurisdiction between courts shall be heard and adjudicated outside the chamber system, with the sitting justices taken from a number of different chambers. The composition of the Supreme Court in 2011 is as shown in the following table: Table 2 Composition of the Supreme Court, 2011 Position Number Chief Justice 1 Deputy Chief Justice, Judicial 1 Deputy Chief Justice, Non-Judicial 1 Junior Chief Justices 9 Justices 42 Total 54 III.CAREER DEVELOPMENT IN THE SUPREME COURT 1.

Pre-appointment training for grades II and III, and Level III and IV Leadership Training were no longer provided by third parties in 2011, but Executive Summary Annual Report 2011 CHAPTER 8 111 rather by the Management and Leadership Education and training Center, under the coordination of the Institute of State Administration. Training of trainers for teaching staff was also provided. As regards the master’s degree and doctorate scholarship program, the number of participants increased by 26.27% in 2011. 1. Priority Programs a. Accreditation of the Management and Leadership Education and training Center The Institute of State Administration, through its Letter Number 777/I/1/9/2010, dated 3 August 2010, officially declared the Management and Leadership Education and training Center to be accredited and suitable for providing pre-appointment education and training to grades Ii and III, and Level III and IV training.

Consequently, it is essential that an e-learning system be applied by the Law and Justice Research, Development, Education and Training Center. Training facilities, such as classroom, accommodation and other facilities, need to be properly managed. In addition, the skills and competencies of trainers need to be improved through such things as Management of Trainer courses (MOT), training officer courses (TOC), and training of trainer courses (TOT). All of these needs pose challenges in themselves to the Law and Justice Research, Development, Education and Training Center . The implementation of the Integrated PPC program commenced in 2011, and it is expected that this will require the allocation of additional funding to education and training.
