In Indonesia, the aftermath of the events of 1st October 1965 saw a relentless campaign aimed at eradicating the Communist Party and its perceived supporters. This campaign led to the tragic murder of an estimated one million individuals, constituting one of the most significant mass murders following World War II. Additionally, another million individuals were unjustly incarcerated, many of whom were subjected to prolonged detention without proper legal proceedings, often lasting for over a decade.
The justification for this campaign was rooted in a pervasive propaganda effort that portrayed communists as atheists, hypersexual, amoral, and driven by a destructive agenda to undermine the nation. This campaign, which persisted until today, has had enduring effects, depriving the victims of their right to association and freedom of speech.
This book delves into the history of the genocide and propaganda campaign, as well as the proceedings towards the International Peoples Tribunal on 1965 crimes against humanity in Indonesia (IPT 1965), which took place in November 2015 in The Hague, Netherlands. The authors, an Indonesian Human Rights lawyer and a Dutch academic, examine this unique event, which marks the first time that these crimes have been brought before an international court. They specifically highlight the campaign of hate propaganda as the primary catalyst for the widespread violence, shedding light on its enduring impact and why it continues to be effective even in modern times.
As the first book on this subject, this work fills a significant gap in Asian Studies and Genocide Studies, providing valuable insights into the tragic events of 1965 and their ongoing consequences.
