Jakarta. Indonesia's reputation in preventing and mitigating radical ideologies and terrorism has received a boost from the Fiji government after a visit to the National Counterterrorism Agency, or BNPT, office in Sentul, West Java, on Thursday (03/11).

Fiji's National Security and Defense Minister Ratu Inoke Kabuabola visited the agency to inspect preventative and mitigation tactics, BNPT chief Comr. Gen. Suhardi Alius said.

Suhardi, a former police criminal investigation chief, said Fiji aims to replicate the facilities and measures deployed by the BNPT to counter terror.

“The response from Fiji’s Defense Minister to BNPT was overwhelming. Terrorism has become a global issue, they feel the need to learn from us,” Suhardi said, adding that Fiji will conduct partnership in training partnerships.

Meanwhile, BNPT deputy III of international partnerships Insp. Gen. Petrus R. Golose said counterterrorism moves must take human rights into account and denied any current anti-terror campaigns have violated rights.

"These issues have been highlighted by the public and we are cautious when applying counter actions," he said.

“Currently, our applications have never broken any human rights. These issues have been highlighted by the public, as we are cautious on human rights issues when applying counter actions,” Petrus said.

BNPT purportedly support human rights programs via an agreement with the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM).
