Indonesian Judges Association
The Indonesian Judges Association, known locally as ''Ikatan Hakim Indonesia'' or IKAHI is an association of judicial officials in Indonesia. IKAHI's members include first-level trial judges and senior justices, as opposed to the Indonesian Judges' Forum (FDHI) which includes appeals court judges.
