Victim's Rights and Human Rights Aspects

The victim's family is entitled to restitution, compensation, and protection in accordance with Law Number 31 of 2014 concerning the Protection of Witnesses and Victims, as well as the state's responsibility for the negligence of officials based on Article 1365 of the Civil Code. From a Human Rights perspective, this event concerns the right to life (Article 28A) and the state's obligation to protect civilians from threats by officials. Transparency in the investigation process is crucial to avoid the perception of impunity, which could undermine public trust.

This event serves as an important lesson in public legal literacy regarding traffic safety and the rights of victims. Prevention recommendations include: (1) the implementation of strict Standard Operating Procedures for official TNI convoys, including a maximum speed limit of 40 km/hour in residential areas and the obligation of traffic escorts; (2) routine training in driving discipline for drivers of official vehicles; (3) the installation of speed cameras and warning signs on vulnerable routes such as Utan Jati; and (4) a rapid response mechanism requiring first aid for official convoys. The public is expected to remain calm while awaiting the official results, while the authorities are requested to communicate developments periodically and openly in order to maintain justice.
