Chief Justice, the Honorable Harifin A. Tumpa, said a national strategy is needed to assist the poor and marginalized to have a wide access to justice. “Poor people face significant barriers to bring their cases to court,” Chief Justice said Monday (19/7/2010) on the Launching of the Report of Survey Results on Access to Justice, in Jakarta.

The launching was hosted by PEKKA (Perempuan Kepala Keluarga), a national NGO concerned with empowering women, in collaboration with AusAID and the Family Court of Australia.

“Apart from court fees, the poor also find it difficult to cope with high transportation costs to come to court. Therefore, a national strategy to help them access to justice needs to be established,” he said.

A number of valuable things can be made a lesson from the visit of the Indonesian delegation who visited Australia on 5-9 July 2010 to study legal aid system in the neighboring country.

One of the lessons learned is about access to justice that has become a common concern to Australian courts, government and private communities. The Family Court of Australia (FCoA) for example, this court provides a good model that can be applied by Indonesia’s religious courts in implementing legal aids.

FCoA specifically provides services to marginalized groups who lack access to justice. These marginalized people are those who do not speak English, indigenous people, people in remote areas, victims of domestic violence, people with physical or mental disabilities, and those who are economically disadvantaged.
