REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Tedjo Edhy and Attorney General HM Prasetyo held a meeting with several top law officials Thursday to discuss the settlement of pending gross human rights violation cases.

Reconciliation is one of the solutions to gross human rights violation cases, Attorney General Prasetyo said after the meeting.

"If they are settled through reconciliation, we will surely be opening a non-judicial channel," he added.

The top law officials who attended the meeting included National Police Chief General Badrodin Haiti, Chief Patron of the National Commission for Human Rights (Komnas HAM) Jimly Asshiddiqie, and Director General of Human Rights at the Law and Human Rights Ministry Mualimin Abdi. Also present was former military advocate general Brigadier General Theresia Abraham.

Prasetyo remarked that if all parties agree for reconciliation, then the government will set up a committee. "God willing, we will settle (gross human rights violation cases) soon," he said.

The Attorney General's Office earlier noted that seven gross human rights violation cases remained unsettled, including the Talangsari case. The office did not rule out the possibility of settling the case through reconciliation.

"Judicially, it will be settled through reconciliation. We want to free ourselves from the shackles of investigation, which will eventually lead us to blaming each other," Head of the Law Information Center at the Attorney General's Office Tony Tribagus Spontana stated on Wednesday.

The six other gross human rights violation cases are Trisakti, Semanggi 1, Semanggi 2, Wasior (Papua), the 1965 mass killings, and mysterious shootings.
