Abstract

Indonesia has not yet ratified the International Convention in 1951. However, the Government still allows the refugees to enter Indonesian territory. The Government of Indonesia is working with UNHCR and IOM to deal with refugees. In handling refugees, so far there are no laws and regulations issued by the Indonesian government. Refugees have rights that must be fulfilled which is listed in the International convention in 1951. The research method used in this paper is an empirical study. The results show that due to the unratified the 1951 International Convention, refugees in Indonesia had difficulty in fulfilling their rights. The recommendation in this study is the Indonesian Government must immediately ratify the International Convention in 1951 into a Law so that the fulfillment of the refugee’s rights will be easy to be realized.
