He explained how this country with 269 million people, 1,340 tribes and total area 1,905 million km2, has its own complexities and challenges in managing their citizen\u2019s freedom of religion or belief, despite the successes that have been well achieved. The difference between Indonesia and other countries is that human rights guarantees in Indonesia have been included in our Constitution, since the amendments of the 1945 Constitution. The emergence of discourse of amendments to 1945 Constitution and revive the Broad Guidelines of State Policy (GBHN), conveyed as an urgency contains the potential to threaten human rights in Indonesia as happened in the new order era.<\/p>\n
