POLITICAL PARTIES ADVISED TO ADOPT REGULATIONS ON INTERNAL CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Jakarta, Aug 14 (ANTARA)- Political parties in Indonesia should adopt regulations on the resolution of internal conflicts or disputes as they still lack clear-cut rules on out-of-court settlement of problems arising within their own ranks, a group advocating reform in poltical party affairs said.
"The regulations should be formally announced and reported to the home affairs, law and human rights ministries and the General Election Commission (KPU)," the Working Group on Reforming the Management and Democratization of Political Parties' Internal Affairs said in a recommendation made at a discussion at the CSIS (Center for Strategic and Internatiional Studies) here Thursday.
The recommendation said, internal party conflicts can be settled through three alternative mechanisms, namely reconciliation, mediation or arbitration.
The choice of the mechanism should be publicly announced by involving a third party in a bid to prevent manipulation for centain interests of the conflicting parties.
This was necessary because political parties belonged to the public, not to certain individuals, the recommendation said.
If reconciliation was chosen to settle an internal party dispute, a neutral mediator should be provided, for instance, an academic in political studies or the political party's founder apart from the conflicting sides.
In addition, if arbitration was preferred for the conflict's settlement, it was the conflicting sides' right to choose an independant arbitration body, the recommendation added.
