Bodies and Bullets: Stretching the Limits of ADR in Indonesia

Dr Antonius Herkutanto; Dr Tom Fisher, Associate Professor Di Bretherton

In 1998-99 the Medico-legal Advisor in a hospital in Djakarta facilitated meetings between representatives of the military police and members of the families of two students shot in a political demonstration. At stake was the police’s demand to recover bullets lodged in the students’ bodies. An apparently satisfactory solution was reached. Was the intervention appropriate? Was it ‘mediation’? Does it matter?
......................................................................

Dr Herkutanto has conducted mediations in high conflict situations in Indonesia.  With both medical and legal backgrounds, he has mediated issues between military families of victims of ‘insurrections’.   His paper will provide Asia Pacific mediators with an insight into the use of mediation in complex and volatile situations.
