- Abstract
The emergence of conflicts within a country as well as conflicts between countries lead to warfare which results in the occurrence of fear because it causes many casualties and loss of property. This has triggered many people to flee to flee their countries without bringing enough supplies or documents to countries that are considered safe, including to Indonesian territory. Article 9 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, among others, states that every person has the right to live and maintain life, because that right is one of the many human rights possessed by every human being. Refugees entering Indonesia are increasingly creating difficulties for the Government, because Indonesia has not ratified the 1951 Convention and the 1967 Protocol, so it has no obligation to take care of refugees. With the issuance of Law Number 37 of 1999 concerning Foreign Relations, one of the considerations being in the framework of participating in carrying out world order, which is based on independence, lasting peace and social justice, then Article 27 paragraph (2) of the Act becomes the basis for President to issue Presidential Regulation Number 125 of 2016 concerning Handling of Refugees from Overseas. With the issuance of Presidential Regulation No. 125 of 2016 concerning Handling of Refugees from Abroad, the Indonesian Government is committed to taking care of refugees entering Indonesia.
