About ELSAM
The Institute for Policy Research and Advocacy, abbreviated as ELSAM, is a policy advocacy organisation, in the form of an Association (Perkumpulan), which was established in August 1993 in Jakarta. The aim is to participate in the effort to cultivate, promote and protect civil and political rights, and human rights in general – as mandated by the 1945 Indonesian Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations 1948.

(1) policy and legal studies that impact on human rights;
(2) human rights advocacy in all its forms;
(3) human rights education and training; and
(4) the publication and dissemination of human rights information.
