Abstract

The existence of refugees in Indonesia has existed for a long time. Some of the reasons for foreign nationals (WNA) fleeing to Indonesia are because in their home country there are conflicts, wars, and poverty. It was recorded that there were 13,459 children, adults, and the elderly who took refuge in Indonesia, the majority of whom came from Afghanistan, Somalia, and Iraq. To manage and serve existing refugees, Indonesia cooperates with several international organizations such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The two international organizations have their respective roles in dealing with refugees in Indonesia. UNHCR itself has a role as an agency that provides status for refugees, while IOM has a role in providing facilities for refugees in Indonesia and assisting immigration in dealing with migration problems. Immigration itself has a role to monitor refugees in Indonesia. The Directorate General of Immigration under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights has been working closely with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), starting in 1979
