Balancing Privacy Rights and Legal Enforcement: Indonesia Practices

This paper describes and analyses the regulatory environment of privacy protection in Indonesia relating to government legal enforcement, particularly in the corruption and national security investigation. After the Suharto era, the Indonesian political architecture became more democratic and privacy conscious. Privacy is protected in Indonesia as one of the fundamental human rights and is regulated in the Constitution. However, the increased level of corruption and national security issues in Indonesia has prompted the government to apply wiretapping regulation. This paper will discuss the intersection between privacy protection and government legal enforcement and how far these two rights could be balanced.
