3. Title：Indonesian Norm Entrepreneurs and Models of Justice
4. Abstract：
5. In this presentation, I discuss the indispensable role played by Indonesian NGO activists in promoting norms and models related to transitional justice, or the way transitional societies deal with authoritarian legacies, particularly human rights violations. The major models I discuss here are “enforced disappearances” and the Argentine model, international criminal justice and the International Criminal Court (ICC) model, and truth and reconciliation commission or the South African model. Through the close examination of “transitional justice advocacy” based on these models, I show some inherent characteristics of transnational diffusion of ideas: plurality of models, piracy as a mode of diffusion, and the role of domestic norm entrepreneurs as “translators.”

9. Speaker 2：Ehito Kimura
10. Title：Indonesia's Failure of Justice
11. Abstract：This presentation explores the failure of transitional justice in newly democratic Indonesia. It highlights some of the different and competing discourses and practices of justice and reconciliation after the fall of Suharto. It also explores the ways in which the pursuit of justice became mired in an only partially reformed political system. Attempts at justice at the national and local level were often derailed or coopted despite efforts by international and domestic actors in pushing for justice mechanisms.
