However, the nation has demonstrated that it abides by the convention's spirit and fundamental tenets [16].…”

“…Whereas in terms of legal technicality, ratification would strengthen and enrich the national legal system so that it will better ensure the advancement and protection of human rights are better. Ratification could even become a shortcut to further bring closer the gap that exists between legal system at national and international level (Liza Shahnaz et al, 2019).…”

The increasing number of refugees each year has caused the government difficulties in handling refugee issues. The absence of law concerning refugees in Indonesia has caused weak coordination between related institutions in field. In this paper will discuss what the urgency, relevance, and obstacles faced by Indonesia in the process of ratification of the 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol. This research was carried out using a normative juridical approach, by examining a legal problem and resolving it through applicable laws and regulations. The urgency to ratify this Convention can strengthen the human rights institutions in the country, although this is not the only indicator for good human rights implementation. It is because some human rights norms are in fact also regulated in domestic legislation in the current reform era this. Indonesia can not exclude the existence of the International Convention on Human Rights. Even it is necessary to bring the domestic and international factors closer. The relevance to ratify this Convention will enhance the international accountability of a country through a more objective and civilized way. Meanwhile, in terms of legal technical considerations, the ratification will strengthen and enrich the national legal instruments so that it will better ensure the progress and protection of human rights better. Ratification can even be a shortcut to bring closer the existing gap between legal instruments at the international and national levels. Obstacles faced are categorized into two aspects, namely the security and legal aspects. The security aspect caused by refugees is often seen as a threat to the state. While the legal aspects of the law are caused by the absence of comprehensive rules in regulating the refugees and asylum seekers in positive law in Indonesia that can weaken the coordination between agencies in the field. As a lawbased country that highly appreciate human rights, ratification of The 1951 Refugee Convention and 1967 Protocol must be a priority. Both instruments are relevant, since the substance is not only heavily loaded with regulation about human rights but also in line with cultural values and norms in Indonesia. As such, the process of ratification needs to consider the country readiness, in terms of technical, political and legal aspects, since those aspects are sometimes challenging. On this matter, ratification is expected to narrow the gap between national and international instruments of law.

The purpose of this paper is to find out how the implementation of the regulation on the fulfillment of children's refugee rights in Indonesia. This research uses the normative legal research method and the legislative approach. The results showed that the existing regulations have not sufficiently fulfilled the rights of child refugees because it does not regulate in detail the fulfillment of the rights specifically possessed by a child. For instance, the Presidential Regulation only concerns the discovery, holding, security, and supervision of refugees while at the refugee camp. The conclusion obtained is the need for additional rules regarding the operational standards for handling refugees that regulate what things can be done and prohibited by refugees while in shelters. This is closely related to the guarantee of refugee rights by Indonesia including child refugees.
