PETISI DAN DEKLARASI RAKYAT ACHEH UNTUK MENYELAMATKAN PERDAMAIAN ACHEH YANG MENGACU KEPADA MOU HELSINKI.

Stockholm - SWEDIA.

RAKYAT ACHEH BANGKIT UNTUK MENYELAMATKAN PERDAMAIAN ACHEH MELALUI PENOLAKAN UU PEMERINTAHAN ACHEH BUATAN DPR RI YANG BERTENTANGAN DENGAN MOU HELSINKI.

Dibawah ini disampaikan suatu petisi dan deklarasi dari rakyat Acheh dengan tujuan untuk menyelamatkan perdamaian di Acheh melalui Undang-Undang tentang Pemerintahan sendiri di Acheh yang mengacu kepada MoU Helsinki.

Wakil-wakil rakyat Acheh dan organisasi-organisasi non pemerintah secara bersama-sama menyampaikan sikap menolak Undang-Undang No.11 tentang Pemerintahan Acheh yang dibuat oleh Oanitia Khusus DPRI yang telah disahkan oleh Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono pada tanggal 11 Juli 2006, kecuali setelah pasal-pasal yang bertentangan dengan kalusul yang ada dalam MoU Helsinki direvisi oleh DPR RI.

Dimana isi petisi dan deklarasi rakyat Acheh tersebut adalah sebagai berikut:

”1. We, the Achehnese People are very disappointed with the attitude and actions of the GoI and the DPR that have reduced and cut off the authorities of the Acheh Government under the LoGA.

2. We urge the Acheh Monitoring Mission (AMM), the Crisis Management Initiative (CMI) and the European Union to carry out in a more serious and permanent way the monitoring of the peace process in Acheh until the real self government as intended in the MoU is established.

3. We reject the LoGA that has just been approved by the DPR and demand the assurance from the GoI that it will seek the approval of the DPR for the Achehnese people’s version of the LoGA, the text of which we attached herewith.

4. If the GoI failed to do so (4) then the AMM and CMI must make a decision that is supportive of the aspirations of the Achehnese people and binding on both parties (Goi-GAM).

5. We demand that the GoI release all remaining detainees linked to the Acheh conflict.

6. If the Achehnese people’s version of the LoGA failed to be approved, do not blame the Achehnese if they should revert back to seeking Independence.”

“1. Kami, rakyat Acheh sangat tidak setuju dengan sikap dan tindakan Pemerintah Indonesia dan DPR RI yang telah mengurangi dan memangkas kewenangan Pemerintahan Acheh dalam UU No.11 tentang Pemerintahan Acheh.

2. Kami mendesak kepada Acheh Monitoring Mission (AMM), the Crisis Management Initiative (CMI) dan EU (the European Union) untuk menjalankan secara serius dan memantau proses perdamaian di Acheh sampai pemerintahan sendiri yang sesuai dengan MoU Helsinki terbentuk di Acheh.

3. Kami menolak UU No.11 tentang Pemerintahan Acheh yang dibuat oleh DPR dan menuntut jaminan dari Pemerintah Indonesia melalui DPR RI untuk segera merevisi UU No.11 tentang Pemerintahan Acheh disesuaikan dengan UU Pemerintahan Acheh versi rakyat Acheh.

4. Apabila Pemerintah Indonesia gagal menjalankan tuntutan kami, maka AMM dan CMI harus segera mengambil tindakan yang sesuai dengan aspirasi seluruh rakyat Acheh dan mengikat kedua belah pihak (RI-GAM).

5. Kami menuntut Pemerintah Indonesia membebaskan semua tahanan yang terkait konflik Acheh.

6. Jika UU Pemerintahan Acheh versi rakyat Acheh gagal dilaksanakan, maka jangan menyalahkan rakyat Acheh apabila mereka kembali menuntut kemerdekaan.”

Nah sekarang, adanya sikap dari sebagian besar rakyat Acheh yang menolak UU No.11 tentang Pemerintahan Acheh karena bertentangan dengan MoU Helsinki adalah merupakan tanda fakta, bukti dan hukum bahwa usaha perdamaian yang menyeluruh dan bermartabat bagi semua pihak akan terancam kelangsungan hidupnya di Acheh.

Apabila pihak Pemerintah RI dan DPR RI tidak mempertimbangkan dan secepatnya mengambil tindakan politik dan hukum untuk kembali menyesuaikan pasal-pasal UU No.11 tentang Pemerintahan Acheh yang bertentangan dengan MoU Helsinki dengan apa yang sudah disepakati oleh pihak GAM dan Pemerintah RI yang tertuang dalam MoU Helsinki, maka sudah bisa dipastikan perdamaian yang didambakan oleh seluruh rakyat Acheh akan terancam runtuh yang akhirnya akan mengakibatkan kemelut konflik Acheh kembali mencuat yang bisa menghancurkan keamanan dan kedamaian sirna dari di bumi Acheh.

PETITION AND DECLARATION OF POSITION OF THE ACHEHNESE PEOPLE FOR THE PURPOSE OF SAVEGUARDING THE PEACE IN ACHEH THROUGH THE RATIFICATION OF THE LAW OF GOVERNING ACHEH WHICH IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE MoU SIGNED IN HELSINKI BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA (GoI) AND THE FREE ACHEH MOVEMENT (GAM)

”GoI and GAM will not undertake any action inconsistent with the letter or spirit of this Memorandum of Understanding”. (Closing Text of MoU Helsinki)

PREAMBULE.

That closing text of the Memorandum of Understanding between tbe Government of the Republic of Indonesia (GoI) and the Free Acheh Movement (GAM) that was signed in Helsinki on 15 August 2005 is the the last locking pledge stressing the committment and the high sincerity by both parties for the sake of peace and justice in Acheh whose people have lived in a conflict and war condition for so long. A conflict that has cost tens of thousands of Achehnese lives and undescribable suffering and material damages. This condition was made worse by the massive earthquakes and tsunami that have devastated this Blessed Triangle Land.

After the signing of the Helsinki MoU, the people of Acheh have started to find a new new hope for peace. This is more so after the international community stated its strong support for the peace process by sending the Acheh Monitoring Mission (AMM)to Acheh, thus involving directly directly the European Union and the ASEAN countries. Various tasks that have had to be fulfilled by the parties as prescribed in the MoU were implemented under the watchful eyes of the AMM.

However, we, the Achehnese people, were shocked to find that one of the duties that must be carried out by the GoI, which is to prepare a law to be passed by Parliament (DPR) in order to allow it to implement the MoU fully was delayed (from its originally pleged date of March 31, 2006). This violation of the MoU became much worse when the postponement was extended to more than 4 months and that the text of the law presented to the Parliament (DPR) for approval deviated from the Helsinki MoU. The LoGA that was finally approved by the DPR on July 13 2006 proves to be a piece of legislation designed not to allow us Achehnese to obtain our rights as stipulated in the Helsinki MoU but explicitly the contrary.

Under this newly approved LoGA, the right of the Achehnese people to exercise authority in all sectors of public life except in the stated six factors that are given to Jakarta and the right of the Achehnese people to manage their natural resources have been eliminated; the Human rifhts court to be created under this new law ignores their rights Achehnese to seek justice over the cruelties perpetrated on them in the past; many of the legal terms used in the said LoGA are incosistent with the stipulations of the Helsinki MoU; the LoGA also fails to mention the MoU as a “consideration” basis for its promulgation, while in fact the MoU is the very reason that necessitates this law to be created.

Powers that are assigned to Acheh under the LoGA are being tied to the necessity to follow national standards which is not prescribed in the MoU; indeed, there are many serious attempts by the GoI to make it possible for it to intervene and to reduce the authority of the Acheh Government by imposing norms and stardards that prevent good governance and democratic progress in Acheh from developing. The worst in all these abberations is the steering of the status of the loccal parties, the last key issue that clinched the Helsinki MoU, into becoming a part/affiliation of a national party so losing its Achehnese political entity.

The changing of the role of the TNI from external defense only as clearly stated in the MoU to defense in general invested with other duties and the consequential placing of bases in accordance with such roles constitute blatant and deliberate violations of the MoU. The Wali Nanggroe Institution, which is supposed to be the unifying symbol of unity of the Achehnese people that is clearly stated in the MoU has been reudced in the LoGA to just a cultural and traditional body. Military personnel committing civil offences that must be tried in civilian court as clearly stated in the MoU is not to be so under the LoGA; the LoGA does not include the guarantee of civil, political, social, cultural and economic rights of the Achehnese in accordance with the UN conventions as clearly stated in the MoU.

During his working visit to Acheh last April, Mr. Javier Solana said that “When the LoGA is approved by Parliament, it must be in accordance with the MoU and the aspirations of the Achehnese people. If not, then the implementation of the MoU would not be considered as final”. Now the LoGa has been approved by the DPR but there are still many of its articles not only not in accordance but are against the stipulations of the MoU as we have stated above, apart from many others that are detrimental to the rights of the Achehnese.

Consequently, we, in the name of the People Of Acheh do hereby state our Position and make the following Petitions:

1. We, the Achehnese People are very disappointed with the attitude and actions of the GoI and the DPR that have reduced and cut off the authorities of the Acheh Government under the LoGA.

4. If the GoI failed to do so (4) then the AMM and CMI must make a decision that is supportive of the aspirations of the Achehnese people and binding on both parties (Goi-GAM).

5. We demand that the GoI release all remaining detainees linked to the Acheh conflict.

6. If the Achehnese people’s version of the LoGA failed to be approved, do not blame the Achehnese if they should revert back to seeking Independence.
