Abstract

This article demonstrates the strategic position of Lembaga Adat Negeri in the fulfilment of the long-neglected right to reparation of victims in post-conflict Ambon. Lembaga Adat Negeri was chosen as the object of analysis due to their close cultural affiliation with the Ambonese society. Due to the important role of Lembaga Adat Negeri in local Ambonese governance, it is argued that they can assist in absorbing local aspirations and aid the reparation process. The enactment of Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning Desa provides Lembaga Adat Negeri with ever greater momentum to spearhead reconciliation based on Ambonese traditional values and contribute to the peaceful transition of the divided people, in particular by way of fulfilling the right to reparation of victims.

Keywords: Ambon, Lembaga Adat Negeri, Local Wisdom, Right to Reparation, Reconciliation
