Indonesia Drafting Bill To Protect Its Heritage

The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights is speeding up the drafting of a bill designed to protect the home’s cultural heritage following a public outcry over the application of traditional Balinese dance images as far as concerns a television show on Malaysia, an official said on Monday.

Speaking at a news conference, the ministry’s director general on the side of intellectual property rights, Andi Sommeng, said his office was currently working with several academics to formulate the starting anew bill, which he hoped would be forwarded to the House of Representatives for further deliberation in December.

“A lot of our traditional knowledge and art forms have been used by foreign countries for commercial purposes,” Andi said. “Others shouldn’t profit from the kind of is rightfully ours. We need this bill to protect our cultural estate from exploitation.”

Earlier this month, the Discovery Channel acknowledged that it had wrongfully featured the pendet caper of Bali in a television advertisement to promote its program “Enigmatic Malaysia.”

Critics also urged the state to house the dandle against what they called intellectual disposition infringement.

However, the director general said that the caper should not be protected under intellectual property rights, which is limited, but be given the full protection of a registered cultural heritage.

“Intellectual property rights only last for a certain time heterogeneous cultural heritage rights,” he said, adding howsoever that current international agreements did not provide sanctions in anticipation of infringements.

Edi Sedyawati, a history and cultural professor at the state-owned University of Indonesia who was involved in formulating the bill, said that Indonesia should look to the success of the Dutch during colonial times in properly documenting and studying Indonesian improvement.

“The Dutch have a without fault catalog of basic patterns of batik,” Edi said. “They know where the designs come from and the philosophy behind each one.
