DILEMMA: BETWEEN SOVEREIGNTY AND HUMANITY A CONTEMPORARY ISSUE OF HANDLING FOREIGN REFUGEES IN INDONESIA DUE TO THE ROHINGYA CRISIS
The influx of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar has significantly impacted Indonesia, posing challenges in balancing state sovereignty and humanitarian obligations. Despite Indonesia’s non-ratification of the 1951 Refugee Convention, refugees are accepted on humanitarian grounds, often resulting in tensions with local communities. This article examines these issues through a normative legal approach, analyzing primary and secondary materials to explore the implications for Indonesia’s legal and policy frameworks. Findings underscore the urgent need for robust legal mechanisms, improved refugee integration strategies, and enhanced international cooperation to address community conflicts. Practical recommendations include ratifying relevant international conventions, fostering regional partnerships, and initiating programs to reduce tensions between refugees and host communities. The study provides a foundation for policy reforms and contributes to broader discourse on managing refugee crises in Southeast Asia.
