STRATEGI HUKUM PENYELESAIAN TRAGEDI TSS: UNTUK MENJAMIN KEADILAN HUKUM, MENUNTUT PERTANGGUNGJAWABAN SERTA PEMULIHAN PARA KORBAN

Abstract

This legal opinion article discusses legal strategies for resolving the Trisakti, Semanggi I, and Semanggi II (TSS) tragedies, aiming to ensure legal justice, demand accountability, and secure redress for the victims. The discussion begins with the chronology of the three events, the findings of the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM), the status of legal resolution efforts, and relevant regulations concerning gross human rights violations, command responsibility, human rights courts, Onrechtmatige Overheidsdaad (OOD—unlawful government action) lawsuits, the Ombudsman, the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK), and civil rights. The analysis focuses on issues such as the classification of the TSS incidents as crimes against humanity, parties liable for accountability, statutes of limitations, government inaction, and legal avenues available to the victims' families. The legal strategies examined include urging the Attorney General to take further action, filing OOD lawsuits via the Administrative Court (PTUN) where administrative omissions meet the necessary criteria, pursuing investigations and human rights trials, engaging the Ombudsman and LPSK, and upholding civil rights. The ultimate objective is to achieve truth, accountability, and reparation for the victims and their heirs.
