After the United Nations posted a statement of concern on Indonesia’s new Criminal Code, the Foreign Ministry summoned a UN official to provide an explanation.

The DPR and the Ministry both consider the statement to be a violation of the country’s sovereignty in enacting its own domestic laws. The Foreign Ministry expressed disappointment and said the UN should have communicated privately with the government instead of releasing a public statement. It’s the view of the United Nations that Indonesia has an obligation to follow the United Nations Charter as the country is a member state and also a member of the UN Human Rights Council.

The UN expressed concerns over the freedom of opinion and expression, including the ability to criticize the government and members of the government, which are curtailed in the new Criminal Code.

Separately, Bali is in full damage control thanks to widespread misunderstanding and misreporting of the upcoming Criminal Code which won’t be implemented for another three years. Tourist cancellations, driven by fears that the moral police will be checking up on their sexual activities, have spooked the government.

The Bali government have said that they will not be checking on the marital status of holidaymakers and other visitors at any point and that they should not be worried.

That is actually inaccurate, because if a foreigner happen to be in a relationship with a local resident and an immediate family member of the local resident objects to their cohabitation and sexual relations, they can file a police report. Similarly if the foreigner happen to be married and is having a extramarital relations while in Indonesia, their legal spouse can report them.
