Juwono Sudarsono's Keynote Remarks at the Joint Symposium on ASEAN Peacebuilding organized by Paramadina University and Harvard University at Paramadina University, Jakarta.
I congratulate Paramadina University and Harvard University for jointly organizing this timely symposium. It is fitting that we gather in this symposium on peace-building December 10 on the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. For when we talk about post-conflict resolution and peace-building we must ultimately talk about human rights in all of its five dimensions: civil, political, economic, social and cultural. As the United Nations Human Rights Summit in Vienna in June 1993 aptly stipulates, those five dimensions must be integrated, inseparable and proportional in their implementation in all countries, regions and continents throughout the world. While acknowledging the universality of the Declaration, the Vienna Summit also recognized the imperative to take into consideration the “ region specific” as well as the “historical and cultural context” of human rights in each country. After all, the true meaning of human rights__and indeed of peace and justice__can only have relevance within a particular ground level national and cultural context. (more...)

Secretary Clinton announced the launch of the “Secretary’s Innovation Award for Women’s and Girls’ Empowerment” this morning during remarks at the Summit on Entrepreneurship. Funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, the Innovation Award seeks to find and bring to scale the most pioneering approaches to the political, economic and social empowerment of women and girls around the globe.
The award is part of the State Department’s continuing emphasis on public-private partnerships, and is administered by its Office of Global Women’s Issues.

Yayasan Penabulu mengajak Anda atau Manajer Keuangan lembaga Anda mengupas tuntas soal perpajakan Organisasi Nirlaba. Seminar Perpajakan Organisasi Nirlaba akan membahas tentang Pajak PPh 25 atau PPh Badan. Stigma bahwa organisasi nirlaba bebas pajak adalah sama sekali salah. Pandangan umum bahwa pajak penghasilan badan organisasi nirlaba selalu nihil juga belum tentu benar.

Tapi pendapatan dari penjualan buku, tiket atau penerimaan pembayaran peserta pelatihan, seminar atau penerimaan lain-lain dari pemberian jasa yang dilakukan LSM; adalah jelas-jelas merupakan obyek pajak.Materi yang akan diulas dalam seminar ini dimulai dari Ketentuan Umum Perpajakan, kemudian diikuti dengan pendalaman mengenai PPh Badan disertai simulasi pengisian SPT Badan. Nara sumber seminar ini adalah para praktisi / konsultan perpajakan yang memahami karakteristik organisasi nirlaba di Indonesia. Seminar ini dirancang untuk memberikan pemahaman sekaligus peningkatan keterampilan teknis para pengelola keuangan organisasi nirlaba. (more...)
