<![CDATA[This study examines the dynamics of refugee protection laws in Indonesia, focusing on the challenges faced by law enforcement in implementing international standards of refugee protection. Despite Indonesia being a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention and the 1967 Protocol, the absence of clear domestic legislation has resulted in inconsistent protection for refugees. The lack of legal recognition leaves refugees vulnerable to mistreatment, including deportation and limited access to essential services such as healthcare, education, and employment. This research identifies key barriers, including the lack of awareness and training among law enforcement officers, the legal uncertainty surrounding refugees' status, and the inadequate enforcement of policies. By employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study gathers data through participatory observation and literature analysis to understand the enforcement practices and identify necessary reforms. The findings highlight the need for comprehensive refugee legislation, better coordination among agencies, and enhanced training for authorities to improve the legal protection of refugees. The study aims to contribute to the development of a more effective refugee protection framework in Indonesia, aligning domestic policies with international norms to ensure the rights and dignity of refugees are upheld]]>
