Abstract

Relations and political legal processes of selective policy in dealing with Rohingya illegal immigrants in Indonesia. Legal politics as the crucial reason forms the legal and policy framework related to immigration, while selective policy reflects the government's approach in determining priorities, handling, and treatment of certain immigrants, including illegal Rohingya immigrants. The process of handling illegal immigrants involves identification, detention, prosecution, and determination of immigration status, where legal politics and selective policy play an important role. Several relevant legal bases such as the Immigration Law, Human Rights Law, UN Convention on the Status of Refugees, Government Regulations, and Presidential Regulations are used in dealing with Rohingya illegal immigrants. With this legal basis, the government can formulate selective policies that respect human rights, humanitarian principles, and justice. Handling illegal Rohingya immigrants requires a balanced approach between political, legal, humanitarian, and justice interests. The government and relevant stakeholders must work together to manage immigration issues by heed to human rights, justice, and humanity. Thus, handling Rohingya illegal immigrants in Indonesia must be carried out with full wisdom and respect for applicable legal principles.
