INTRODUCTION Human rights are a set of rights that are inherent in the nature and existence of humans as God's creatures, and they are a gift that must be respected, upheld, and protected by the rule of law and everyone else in order to honor and protect human dignity.1 It is frequently claimed that rights based on law (legal rights) are distinct from rights derived from other norms. Paton states legal rights as rights that are recognized and protected by law. Jeremy Bentham defined rights as the children of the law. Real rights emerge as a result of actual laws. Imaginary rights, on the other hand, stem from imaginary law, specifically natural law.2 Therefore, he defines rights as interests that are protected by law.

Human rights and democracy are associated with Western cultures. This new culture is known as "Americanization" because it closely resembles the American way of life. This new culture frequently clashes with the local culture,4 as is the case in Indonesia. Indonesia, a country that values human rights, does not fully embrace them, as human rights in Indonesia are still based on national and regional interests. This is done in order to prevent social conflicts in society. Human rights embraced by the Indonesian people keep paying attention to London, 1972. di kutip dari Peter Mahmud Marzuki I, Ibid., hlm. 151. 4 Robertua, V. (2015).
