People’s Empowerment Consortium (PEC) was established in 2003 to work progressively on transitional justice initiatives in the post-authoritarian Indonesia. Focussing on this effort is tremendously important given the fact that the well-preserved New Order’s culture of impunity still strongly promoted by the existing regime. As a consequence, building a stronger civil society from the core and most affected ones—victim’s communities, all related supporting groups and advocacy organizations—is an imperative for us.

PEC main mission is to support and foster an enabling environment to pursue state’s accountability of past human rights abuses in Indonesia. The first priority is placed on the advocacy of humanity tragedy following the 1965 coup in Indonesia – a tragedy that took millions of life, caused miseries to their descendants up to the present, and silenced the voices of the majority of the people.

Issues covered in the efforts include:

o Accelerating historical clarification,

o Pursuing accountability of past abuses

o Reducing stigma and discrimination to the victims [esp. of 1965 humanity tragedy] and their families,
