Indonesia's Selective Policy Against Illegal Immigrants In The Framework Of Asean Cooperation

SELECTIVE POLICY INDONESIA TERHADAP IMIGRAN GELAP DALAM RANGKA KERJASAMA ANTAR NEGARA ASEAN

Abstract

The chaos that has occurred in several countries has resulted in population displacement aimed at
finding new safe and conducive places to live. For example, this chaos is like war, bloody conflict,
genocide, and so on. So that many people from conflict countries migrate to other countries to
achieve a better standard of living. However, sometimes they do the migration without following the
procedure or they are called illegal immigrants. Indonesia is one of the developing countries and
transit countries where the geographical condition of Indonesia which is in the form of an archipelago
makes access to and out of the country more freely and open. With this, the potential for transnational
(transnational) crime increases. The potential of the Indonesian state in the occurrence of
transnational crimes is an interesting matter to discuss. In this paper, the authors use normative legal
research methods with qualitative data collection juxtaposed with descriptive analysis techniques so
that the existing problems regarding transnational crimes can be presented comprehensively and
informatively. So to deal with this problem, countries in ASEAN are demanded to be able to play an
active role in taking preventive steps to prevent and minimize transnational crime in ASEAN countries
and Indonesia.
