Sanitiar Burhanuddin (17 July 1954) is the present Attorney General of Indonesia,serving since October 2019 in the cabinet of President Joko Widodo. He was previously deputy attorney general for civil and state administrative cases.
Upon his appointment,he denied having links to any political parties,despite his older brother,Tubagus Hasanuddin,being an executive of the ruling Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) and a former military secretary to former president and incumbent PDI-P leader Megawati Sukarnoputri. [1]
In response to calls for the government to settle unresolved cases of human rights abuses,including the Semanggi shootings,Burhanuddin in January 2020 said the National Commission on Human Rights had not submitted complete evidence to the Attorney General's Office. [2] He also said the incidents could not be classified as gross violations of human rights. [3] Amnesty International Indonesia’s Executive Director Usman Hamid said Burhanuddin's "claims that these shootings did not violate human rights are simply not credible." [4]
Burhanuddin's given name Sanitiar is commonly abbreviated to ST. He said this came about when he completed elementary school;his teacher wrote his name on his graduation certificate as ST Burhanuddin and the truncated name stuck. [5]
He began his career at Jambi High Prosecutor's Office in 1989. [6] He graduated from Diponegoro University's faculty of law and later served at District Attorney Offices in a number of regions,from Bangko in Jambi province to Cilacap in Central Java.

While serving as head of South Sulawesi Provincial Prosecutor's Office and West Sulawesi Provincial Prosecutor's Office in 2010,Burhanuddin reportedly focused on handling corruption cases. In November 2010,he likened corruption to farting,saying there is a smell but no form. Therefore,his task was to prove the form. [7]
Burhanuddin once had to deal with a corruption case involving the former regent of Gowa,Ichsan Yasin Limpo. [8] Ichsan was the younger brother of Syahrul Yasin Limpo,a former governor of South Sulawesi,who is minister of agriculture for the 2019-2024 period.
Burhanduddin was Deputy Attorney General for Civil and State Administration from 2011 until retiring in 2014.

The South Sulawesi expeditions of 1905,which included the Third Bone War and the Gowa War,were undertaken by the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (KNIL) to force the states of south Sulawesi (Celebes) to sign the Korte Verklaring,the standard agreement whereby a native Indonesian ruler agreed to accept Dutch sovereignty. According to certain Dutch historians,the expeditions were an "obligation",because the Dutch had responsibility for law and order. One Indonesian historian has argued that it was actually strategic:that south Sulawesi was the "key" to controlling the so-called Great East. There was also an economic motive:to extend the tax-collecting powers of the government of Sulawesi. The expeditions received the imprimatur of the Governor of Sulawesi,Alexander Kroesen,in a letter dated 11 February 1904.
