Indonesia’s top court rejected an effort to block presidential candidates who are over 70 or implicated in human rights abuses, clearing the legal path for a septuagenarian former general’s ultra-nationalist campaign
Indonesia’s top court rejected an effort to block presidential candidates who are over 70 or implicated in human rights abuses, clearing the legal path for a septuagenarian former general's ultra-nationalist campaign. Lawyers belonging to a human rights advocacy group and other petitioners argued that the constitution required stricter limits than those written in the country's 2017 General Election Law, which sets no maximum age.
Some of the petitioners also proposed rules barring candidates connected to genocide, forced disappearances and other human rights abuses. Constitutional Court Judge Daniel Yusmic Foekh said that granting the petition “could weaken the existing legal certainty.' The Constitutional Court’s decision is final.
