Konsolidasi Komunal sebagai Mitigasi Konflik Agama di Jawa Timur

Indonesia adopts democracy based on the rule of law as it is guaranteed in the constitution. But, the practice of violations of Freedom of Religion and Belief (KBB) still frequently occurs in Indonesia, including in the province of East Java. As a result of intolerance under the ground of religion and belief, social conflict is inevitable. There are several alternatives as a means to establish transitional justice in the aftermath of conflict, such as truth finding, independent and impartial tribunal, mainstreaming collective consciousness on the importance of diversity, and utilization of policy to counter social conflict.
