Abstract

Refugees constitute a highly vulnerable population, frequently exposed to severe human rights violations or neglect. Refugees are often undergone variable restrictions like on speech, travel, education, and economic activities. Particularly at risk are their rights to decent work, livelihoods, and access to education for children. The inability to secure dignified work profoundly exacerbates the challenges in fulfilling educational rights within refugee communities. This article investigates the systemic vulnerabilities leading to the potential violation of these critical social rights for international refugees in Indonesia. This study was a social legal research applied as an interdisciplinary study, using normative doctrinal and enforcement implementation analysis. As a nation that has not ratified the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees, Indonesia operates without a comprehensive domestic legal framework explicitly governing refugee social rights. Nevertheless, its responsibilities as a member of the global community, coupled with inherent humanitarian principles, morally and ethically obligate the protection of these fundamental rights. Drawing on comparative legal analysis and good practices from other nations, this paper aims to identify specific areas for legal and policy reform in Indonesia. These reforms are crucial for providing adequate protection for refugees’ rights to work and education, within the practical capabilities of the state, and without compromising the security and public order rights of its citizens. Ultimately, this research underscores the urgent need for domestic legal reform to enhance refugee welfare and ensure their human dignity in Indonesia.

Abstract

Proper journalism in the reporting of child victims of immorality requires a strict ethical approach to protect the rights of victims and maintain the function of the press in conveying the truth. This article discusses important aspects such as victim protection, privacy rights, journalistic codes of ethics, and the role of the media in society. Through normative juridical analysis and descriptive research involving desk research and interviews with journalists, this article highlights the importance of striking a balance between freedom of speech and the social responsibility of the press. When covering sensitive issues like child sexual abuse, the press must uphold individual rights. We must adhere to the Journalistic Code of Ethics to ensure that the news does not violate the rights of victims. The role of the Press Council and law enforcement officials is crucial in enforcing the law, sanctioning violators, and ensuring justice for all parties. Analysis of the news indicates that there are still violations in the form of disclosing the identity of child victims, which should be kept confidential to protect their right to privacy and honor. This study confirms that safeguarding the honor and rights of victims, as well as supporting fair law enforcement and strict supervision of media practices, can create a responsible information environment. The findings provide an important reference for policymakers, media practitioners, and academics in improving the quality of ethical journalism that respects the rights of child victims of violence.
