In defense of land rights: A monitoring report on land conflicts in six Asian countries 92 fact that the necessary laws supporting agrarian reform implementation have not yet been passed after three (3) years of this administration. Various deadlocks are easily identified in the process of land reform. These can be found in areas in which conflicts erupt involving State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), State Plantation Enterprises (PTPN), State Forest Enterprises (Perhutani), abandoned lands, and forest area extraction. Such conflicts were easily identified during the years 2017 and 2018. Unfortunately, one of the main tasks of land reform – which is the resolution of land conflicts – cannot be said to be progressing. The ideal government-sponsored land reform is a restructuring that is rapid, drastic, and systematic. It is not supposed to be partial, for it is meant to be the cure for the chronic infirmity in land tenure and ownership in a country. These principles should be the foundation for conflict resolution, and not simple land certificates distribution which does not touch the essential problem of agrarian conflicts. More powerful and non-partial legal and institutional instruments are needed so that the resolution of old and new agrarian conflicts can be the main focus for the realization of agrarian reform. The President has to assure that land reform can be implemented for curing structural inequality and solving agrarian conflicts. It is hoped that the President will convene all Ministries which share the responsibility to implement land reform. He should examine the commitment of the Agrarian Reform Team to work under the supervision of the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs and its three task forces including other related ministries and agencies (Presidential Staff Office of the Republic of Indonesia, Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Finance, and the Indonesian National Police). Regional governments are also need to be mobilized to support the agrarian reform agenda and the efforts to resolve agrarian conflicts. ANGOC Most importantly, the Jokowi administration needs to deal with assault on the fundamental rights of citizens over their lands and livelihoods. The dark record of agrarian conflict, violence, evictions, and criminalization perpetrated against farmers, customary communities and fisherfolk in 2017 and 2018 has to be reversed through real land reform. Severe legal punishment has to be applied to corruptors in the agrarian sector, officials who are negligent in issuing licenses or concessions, big speculators and land middlemen, and domestic and foreign investors who have evicted people from their communities and villages.
