“…The future of social justice is full of hope and challenges. With the commitment and cooperation of all parties, we can create a world where every individual has the same rights to obtain equal opportunities and access to resources and services needed for a decent life (Lucca-Silveira, 2016). We can also create a world where every individual has the same rights to be treated fairly and equally by the law and the justice system.…”

Introduction: The pursuit of justice and equity is a fundamental aspect of any modern legal system. In Indonesia, the development of a modern legal system that upholds human rights principles is a crucial step towards achieving a fair and just society. This article explores the role of Human Rights (HR) in the development of a modern legal system in Indonesia, with a focus on the province of Papua as a case study. Theoretical framework: This article adopts a theoretical framework that combines the concepts of human rights, legal development, and social justice. Human rights are fundamental rights and freedoms that every individual is entitled to, regardless of their race, religion, or social status. Legal development refers to the process of creating and implementing laws that protect and promote human rights. Social justice is the concept of creating a fair and equitable society where every individual has access to the same opportunities and resources. Method: This research employs a qualitative method using literature review and policy document analysis. A literature review was conducted to explore the concepts of human rights, legal development, and social justice. Policy document analysis was carried out to understand the objectives, structure, and implementation of human rights laws and policies in Indonesia, with a focus on Papua. Results and Conclusions: The development of a modern legal system in Indonesia, particularly in Papua, has been influenced by various factors, including historical, cultural, and political factors. The implementation of human rights laws and policies in Papua has faced challenges, including lack of awareness, resources, and political will. However, there have been some positive developments, such as the establishment of human rights commissions and the adoption of human rights education programs. The findings of this research indicate that the development of a modern legal system in Indonesia, particularly in Papua, requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the root causes of human rights violations and promotes social justice and equity. Effective and sustainable implementation of human rights laws and policies requires collaboration and commitment from various parties, including the government, civil society, and international organizations.

Purpose: The present paper tries to cross-examine Sen’s notion of justice and to find a midway between the ideal and non-ideal theorizing of justice. Besides, searching for reconciliation between Rawls and Sen, the present paper also attempts to go beyond Sen, while critically engaging with his idea of justice. Methodology: This study has applied qualitative method; however, both the historical and analytical methods are employed for reaching out the conclusive findings of the study. As the sources of this paper are basically secondary, all necessary and relevant materials are collected from a range of related books, articles, journals, newspapers, and reports of various seminars and conferences that fall within the domain of the study area. Main Findings: While analyzing Sen’s critique of Rawlsian theory, the study finds that the Rawlsian theory cannot be discarded only as a theory that formulates ideal justice and is not redundant. The study while revisiting Sen’s notion finds that there is also a possibility of reconciliation between ideal and non-ideal theorizing of justice. Application: This study will be useful in understanding the debate between ideal versus non-ideal theories of justice that has lately been haunting the political philosophy. Besides, it will also be useful in searching for reconciliation between Rawls’ and Sen’s paradigms of justice and thereby offering a conception of justice that is reasonable and true in assessing issues of justice in the present scenario. Novelty/ Originality: Revisiting Sen’s notion of justice and analyzing such dimensions of politics, the study will benefit the reader to evaluate the debate between ideal versus non-ideal theorizing of justice. Moreover, by searching for a possibility between Rawls and Sen, the study will contribute towards developing an alternative approach and understanding of justice.
