  • Landscapes of refugee protection.
    'Wiley', 2018
    Co-Authors: Coddington K.
    Abstract:

    In this paper, I argue that conditions for asylum seekers in countries that have signed the 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees (hereafter ‘Convention’) are increasingly paralleling those in non-Signatory countries. The similar deterioration of treatment of asylum seekers is symptomatic of the disintegration of the existing refugee protection system established by the Convention. This paper focuses on the case of Thailand, a non-Signatory Country that has been widely criticised for its treatment of refugees, and compares three significant trends in refugee protection with those in the UK. In Thailand as well as the UK, protection takes shape as ad hoc, arbitrary and differentially applied across space, leading to extreme precariousness. Two concepts frame my comparison of the Thai and UK contexts: the landscapes of protection that encompass the range of practices engaged in refugee governance, from signed treaties to soft laws, subcontracted service providers and substandard media coverage; and the graduated levels of protection that rely on spatial logics to manage access to protection and shape both refugees’ imagined futures as well as their present status. This comparison challenges the implicit distinctions between developed and developing countries, as well as signatories and non-signatories to the Convention, that have predominated in refugee scholarship, and extends recent scholarship that deconstructs the coherence and authority of the nation state. I conclude that these presumed divisions are not only inaccurate, but mask the precarious and dangerous realities that asylum seekers and refugees face in both locations. Increasingly, the protections offered by the Convention have become a façade for arbitrary and harmful treatment of refugees

  • The aporia of refugee rights in a time of crises: the role of brokers in accessing refugee protection in transit and at the border
    'Springer Science and Business Media LLC', 2021
    Co-Authors: Riva Sara, Hoffstaedter Gerhard
    Abstract:

    Many refugees fleeing from persecution across borders, find navigating the refugee registration system extremely complicated. In many border spaces, destination or transit countries, the difficult registration processes and the lack of support services requires the intervention and support of many non-state actors. Over the past decades, neoliberal policies have increasingly relegated public responsibilities to the private sphere. In this vein, a range of organisations have been working with refugees to assist them access to their legal status. This paper seeks to critically examine on-the-ground practices of these individuals, international and local non-profit organisations—or brokers—in Malaysia and the United States of America. Using ethnographic fieldwork data from these two very disparate fieldsites—one a Signatory of the Protocol to the Convention, the other a non-Signatory Country—we document shared difficulties, frustrations, opportunities and specific obstacles, strategies and tactics refugees and organisations deploy. Building on Hannah Arendt’s insights of an internal contradiction in the human rights framework, we point to a new aporia: Whilst there now exist international instruments to protect refugees, access to this framework and its protections is becoming ever more challenging. This means that those seeking asylum need the assistance and mediation of third-party organisations in order to access their rights. The struggle for recognition and protection thus is no longer about achieving universal rights, but rather on how vulnerable populations can access them.Dr. Hoffstaedter received a Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (project number DE140100052) funded by the Australian Research CouncilPeer reviewe

  • THE RIGHTS OF CHILDREN REFUGEE IN TRANSIT Country UNDER THE CRC, A CASE OF INDONESIA: AN INTENDED NEGLIGENCE?
    'Fakultas Hukum UNPAD (FHUNPAD)', 2021
    Co-Authors: Kristin Debby, Trie Isana Dewi Chloryne
    Abstract:

    AbstractCivil wars in Middle Eastern countries and several countries in Africa have resulted in an increased influx of refugees seeking refuge in Indonesia every year. Although Indonesia is not their final destination, they prefer to wait in a transit Country rather than experience terror and persecution in their home Country., As a non-Signatory Country to the 1951 Geneva Convention, for humanitarian reasons, Indonesia allows those people who already in the territory of Indonesia to temporary stay until they status are clear. 28% of the refugees registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Indonesia are under 18 years of age. Being a refugee child in a transit Country keeps them away from the threat of war crimes in their Country, nonetheless it turns out that there are basic rights that cannot be fully fulfilled. The 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) regulates state obligation to fulfil the rights of the child in any situation without discrimination. Indonesia as a transit Country and state party to the CRC facing dilemma in assisting the child refugees. This article will analyse whether Indonesia has responsibility for child refugee in its jurisdiction as regulated in the CRC. By research, Indonesia can be considered fail to conduct its obligation under CRC. Hence Indonesia can be held responsible for its negligence in complying its obligation under the CRC. Nonetheless, there are measures that can be taken by the Indonesian Government through cooperation with international communities as well as corporations to tackle the challenges in implementing the CRC particularly in regards to refugee children. Keywords: Basic Rights, Refugee Children, State Responsibility   AbstrakPerang sipil di negara Timur Tengah dan beberapa negara di Afrika menghasilkan gelombang pengungsi yang mencari perlindungan ke Indonesia meningkat setiap tahunnya. Mereka lebih memilih untuk menunggu di negara transit daripada harus merasakan teror dan persekusi di negara asalnya. Indonesia bukan negara peserta Konvensi Jenewa 1951, namun dengan alasan kemanusiaan menampung untuk sementara para pencari suaka sampai status mereka jelas berdasarkan penilaian UNHCR. Sebesar 28% dari pengungsi yang terdaftar di United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Indonesia berumur di bawah 18 tahun. Menjadi anak yang berada di negara transit memang menjauhkan mereka dari ancaman kejahatan perang di negaranya, namun ternyata tidak seluruh hak asasi mereka dapat dipenuhi di negara transit. Konvensi Hak Anak 1989 mengatur kewajiban negara untuk memenuhi hak asasi anak dalam situasi apapun tanpa diskriminasi. Indonesia sebagai negara transit dan juga a peratifikasi Konvensi Hak-hak Anak 1989 (KHA) menghadapi dilema dalam menghadapi anak-anak pencari suaka. Artikel ini akan menganalisa apakah Indonesia melakukan pelanggaran terhadap pemenuhan hak bagi para pengungsi anak sehingga dapat dikenai tanggung jawab negara. Indonesia dapat dikatakan gaal dalam memenuhi kewajibannya berdsarkan KHA sehingga dapat diminta pertanggungjawaban atas kelalalainya. Namun terdapat berbagai upaya yang dapat dilakukan oleh pemerintah Indonesia dengan bekerjasama dengan berbagai Lembaga internasional maupun nasional serta perusahaan untuk mengatasi permasalahan dalam penerapan KHA terutama terkait hak pengungsi anak.
