Ikatan Orang Hilang Indonesia - IKOHI
IKOHI (Indonesian Association of Missing Persons) was formed by concerned families of abducted pro-democracy activists in 1997/1998 who, together with KontraS, held a tent-vigil in the yard of the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation, Jakarta in 1998. The victims’ families wanted to build an organisation with a platform to voice their struggles and to reveal the truth and legal injustices in cases of human rights violations they experienced.
IKOHI are dedicated to their strategic programs and their framework of fulfilling the rights of victims of human rights violations; the Right to Truth, the Right to Justice and the Right to Remedies. The priorities of the organization’s are embodied in their Victim Recovery and Strengthening Program and the Justice Program.

Lembaga Bantuan Hukum Bandung
Bandung Legal Aid, commonly known as LBH Bandung, was founded in February 1981 by members of the Indonesian Advocate Association (PERADIN). Following the ITB White Book Incident, the members who were also a part of the Red and White Defender team, responsible for the defense of the ITB college students, became critical in accelerating the establishment of LBH Bandung. In 1981, LBH Peradin was integrated into the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation based in Jakarta (YLBHI). The name LBH Bandung formed, recognising them as part of YLBHI.
As a civil society organization in West Java, LBH Bandung has a view that State enforcement must protect and provide sufficient economic, social, and cultural rights and basic human freedoms. Other than honouring those aforementioned rights and freedoms, the protection of civil and political rights is an important and inseparable aspect in maintaining the State.
Today, LBH Bandung decided to become a voluntary organization and focuses on legal and human rights advocacy in the West Java region.
