Abstract

This research explores Indonesia’s approach to refugee protection despite not being a party to the 1951 Refugee Convention and 1967 Protocol. Its originality lies in assessing how international human rights obligations shape national practices and identifying challenges in fulfilling refugees’ rights. Using a normative legal approach, the study analyzes international instruments including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Covenants on Civil, Political, Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights together with Indonesia’s policies, framed by International Minimum Standards and National Treatment Standards. The study finds that Indonesia provides partial protection for refugees, ensuring limited access to housing, health, education, and social services. However, significant gaps remain due to the absence of legal recognition and institutional mechanisms. The research contributes to refugee law by highlighting the obligations of non-signatory states and offers practical implications for strengthening refugee protection in Indonesia and comparable contexts.
