Reform in Indonesia brings great expectacy for respect for human rights, including protection for minority groups. However, in reality, discrimination still occurs that is contrary to the ideals of the reform. This study aims to analyze legal protection for minority groups in Indonesia using normative legal methods through literature studies and analysis of laws and regulations. The results indicate that although there are various national legal instruments, such as the 1945 Constitution, and the Human Rights Law, and ratification of international instruments such as the ICCPR and ICERD, the implementation of legal protection for minority groups still faces various challenges. The main factors that hinder the effectiveness of this protection include structural discrimination, weak law enforcement, and the lack of concrete affirmative policies. Therefore, strategic steps are needed in the policy of protecting minority groups, including a more progressive human rights-based approach, strengthening regulations, and increasing the government's commitment to enforcing fair and equal legal protection for all citizens, including minority groups.
