Abstract

Indonesia's strategic geographic position as a link between the Central and Middle East Asia regions with Australia in the movement of migration flow has made Indonesia a transit area that many immigrants pass through. What needs to be watched out for are illegal entrances (mouse path), both sea routes and land routes, considering that Indonesia is a large archipelagic country and existing crossings have not been optimally guarded. Looking at these conditions, the existence of a world organization in Indonesia that deals with refugees, namely the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), can provide some temporary or permanent solutions, with short or long processes and mechanisms, which must be passed by refugees. The existence of refugees in Indonesia should be managed by the flow of the process in which refugees will be placed in third countries. In the waiting process when they will be dispatched to a third country, the refugees occupy a shelter which is then under the supervision of RUDENIM (Immigration Detention Center). From the description above, the problem in this research is studying RUDENIM's supervisory function on additional tasks in the context of immigration control of refugees in the aspect of state sovereignty. The research method used in answering problems is using normative juridical research methods, by analyzing secondary data and legal materials related to statutory regulations, books, and scientific journals. This research also uses several approaches, namely statutory approach, conceptual approach, and case approach.

Highlights

  • One of the immigration functions is the supervisory function, where supervision is essentially an act of assessing whether something has gone according to plan

  • Immigration control is carried out when foreigners enter and / or leave the territory of Indonesia, and as long as the foreigners are staying in Indonesian territory, including their activities (Explanation of Law No.6 of 2011 concerning Immigration)

  • If we look at the immigration function (RUDENIM), immigration control is only administrative in nature, but if we look at the immigration control function regulated in the Immigration Law No 6 of 201 1 in Article 66 paragraph 2 (b), it reads: supervision of the traffic of foreigners entering or leaving Indonesian territory as well as supervision of the presence and activities of foreigners in Indonesian territory

The conditions in the presence of refugees, asylum seekers, and illegal migrants can be seen from several factors, including based on this understanding, illegal migrants in Indonesia, namely foreigners who enter and are in the jurisdiction of the Republic of Indonesia without going through legal procedures in accordance with laws and regulations, which apply as regulated in Law Number 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration. Judging from the background of this research, the main issue to be examined is about how the RUDENIM's supervisory function in complying with the additional task of immigration control of refugees in the aspect of state sovereignty
