COUNTRY REPORT OF INDONESIA



COUNTRY REPORT OF INDONESIA

I.        Introduction

1.    Abuse and illegal circulation of Narcotics may pose hazards for the life and cultural values of a nation that can weaken the national resilience, therefore, in order to prevent and eradicate the abuse and illegal circulation of Narcotics that harm and endanger the life of the public, the state and the nation, Law Number 22 Year 1997 regarding Narcotics regulating efforts for the eradication of criminal acts of Narcotics through criminal sanctions in the form of penalty, imprisonment, life sentence and capital punishment, has been amended.

2.    In reality, criminal acts of Narcotics among the public indicate a trend that has increasingly become rampant both quantitatively and qualitatively with more various victims, especially among children, teenagers and young generation in general. Even criminal acts of Narcotics are no longer committed individually, but involving a lot of people collectively and constitute an organized syndicate with broad neworks who work in a orderly and very clandestine manner both at national and international level.

3.    In order to enhance efforts for the prevention and eradication of criminal acts of Narcotics, Law No. 22 Year 1997 regarding Narcotics has been amended by Law Number 35 Year 2009 regarding Narcotics, this has been conducted to prevent the trend that has increasingly become rampant both quantitatively and qualitatively with more victims, especially among children, teenagers and young generation in general.

4.    This Country Report is a general overview of the drug problem problem situation and national laws and regulations as well as relevant UN Conventions that have been enacted by Indonesia.


In 2008-2009, Indonesia still confronted issues relating to narcotics and dangerous substances. These days, law enforcers have managed to uncover several clandestine psychotropic labs. The suspects (TSK) constitute part of syndicates operating regionally and internationally covering the regions of Hongkong, China, Thailand and Indonesia. This situation indicates that Indonesia serves as an area that illicitly produces ATS.

One of the factors causing illegal circulation of narcotics and dangerous substances is the fact that some precursors are smuggled both through air and sea. In order to cope with this issue, Indonesia has improved efforts to monitor and oversee the entry points both at seaports and airports. BNN has established seaport and airport task forces since 2003. Recently, the seaport and airport task forces conducted interdiction wherein one of their members, that is, the customs and excise has uncovered and indicated the smuggling of efedrine into Indonesia through airport, Indonesia has also faced an increased number of misuses of ketamine, smuggled illegally or making fraudulent use of the official channel. Reports made by the authorities indicate that the ketamine found in the clandestine labs has been used in the making of ecstacy tablets. With regard to this matter, althouth the Ministry of Health and Food and Drugs Supervisory Agency (BPOM) have included ketamine in the category of prescription drug that must be overseen, however, efforts to include ketamine in list of medicines overseen in the Narcotics Law are still made.

Indonesia also has problems with heroin addicts/abusers. In the past, the heroin in circulation came from the golden triangle, however, these days, the West Africa syndicate has smuggled heroin mostly originating from the golden crescent moon region. For the purpose of anticipating this matter, the authorities have established a team for immigration permits that analyzes someone, especially those who have links to the West Africa syndicate or other syndicates, who wants to enter Indonesia. This team also conducts a series of operations to cut off foreign narcotics and dangerous substance networks with local couriers.

Indonesia is also facing marijuana-related problems mostly originating from the province of Aceh, but we have initiated an Alternative Development Program located in Lamteba and Maheng- Aceh Province, aimed at replacing the illegal plants (marijuana) with types of substitute plants and livestock with a hope that this will enhance the standard of living of the peasants, both economically and socially.

Additional Information:

Methadone Substitution Treatment for Drug Addicts
Medically, data in the field on the efforts of harm reduction through methadone substitution treatment for drug addicts show that approximately 4.5 million injecting drug users/IDUs are in Asia and out of the aforementioned number, 4% of it is female.

Meanwhile, viewed from the aspect of international institutions, the harm reduction efforts are based on: (1) the International drug conventions of 1961, 1971 and 1988 which allow any country to make treatment, rehabilitation and social reintegration efforts as alternatives together with criminal punishment; and (2) The UNGASS Declaration of Commitment on HIV (2001) as well as other international covenants calling for the increase of access to sterile injection equipment (Needle Syringe Programme/NSP) and harm reduction effort related to drug use.

Principles on harm reduction include, among other things:
1.  Pragmatic objectives for saving lives and reducing state budget spending (because drug addicts have the potential of being infected with HIV and must forever take medicines at the expense of the state);
2.  The use of multiple and varied strategies: including hidden population (closed) and education of fellow victims, needle syringe program, pharmatic therapy, substitution treatment and health treatment access as well as social support (most victims are below the poverty line);
3.  Introduction to the hierarchy of risks; and participation of the drug addicts themselves.

It must be admitted that legal restrictions still occur in a number of countries for the effective implementation of harm reduction strategies such as methadone substitution treatment and needle syringe program. Improvement in positive law enforcement and expansion of program coverage level are still required.

Such conditions are closely related to the consistently deep-rooted myth and misconception of harm reduction program in a number of countries as shown by the existence of beliefs that this program will: (1) place victims in the position of drug addiction, (2) encourage the use of drugs, and (3) result in waste or use of budget that is difficult to be accounted for.

All this time, Indonesia has implemented methadone therapy program. This therapy has even become one of the consistently improved programs because the number of drug users in Indonesia is considered very high. As an example, in HIV infection case, 55% of the supporting factors come from drug users particularly injection drug users/IDUs. However, this therapy still faces a number of legal obstacles in its implementation. The first one is the lack of coordination between the law enforcers and the Ministry of Health. The second one is the legal obstacle where the implementation of this therapy has not obtained sufficient legal framework and there are even still overlaps with a number of related laws such as Law No. 35 Year 2009 Regarding Narcotics, Law No. 5 Year 1997 Regarding Psychotropics, Law No. 29 Year 2004 Regarding Medical Practices.

Although methadone theraphy has not been fully supported by adequate legal framework, this theraphy on a medical basis may reduce the illegal use of drugs. The reasons are, among other things: (1) keeping any victim in effective medical treatment, (2) the absence of proof of increase in the use of drugs, (3) preventing and controlling diseases, and preventing death caused by overdose, (4) enabling people to be consistently productive at home and at work and eventually reducing criminal behavior, and (5) more effective in cost as in several cases in a number of countries.
