this research aims to provide a deeper understanding of the current legal frameworks and propose potential solutions to address the challenges of statelessness. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Indonesia's Experience and Contribution in the National and International Sphere to Stateless Nations Indonesia is one of the states that neither ratified the 1951 Convention Relating to the status of refugees nor its 1967 Protocol; therefore, has no legal responsibility to accommodate or to take in stateless individuals. However, the Indonesian government has expressed a promise to stateless people by issuing a number of statements at the High-Level Segment on Statelessness in October 2019. The following statements highlighted four key objectives, i.e.: (1) To increase the areas of operational activity and infrastructural support related to the registration of citizens of the country; (2) To increase the use of online systems in citizenship registration and population registration; (3) To enhance collaboration with UNHCR in the process of managing refugees and asylum seekers; (4) To work together with every national government, particularly the signatories of the two Statelessness Conventions, to promote joint learning, capacity building and sharing of technologies to reduce statelessness. The fact that the above said international conventions are not ratified does not mean that Indonesia state does not respect the human rights of stateless persons (Darmawan & Heriyanto, 2023; Pinilih et al., 2022; Ariestu, 2018; Muhammad, 2024; Sutiarnoto et al. 2020; Khalid & Ardianto, 2020). Warner (2004, p. 46) observes that the idea that every human being deserves rights, which is guaranteed by the Constitution, and fitting within the context of the human-rights jurisprudence, is what makes protection universal. More broadly speaking, the protection of human rights also should be in compliance with the normative standards established in the 1954 Convention and the 1961 Protocol on Statelessness. This congruence is indicative of the ethics of Indonesia and its firm beliefs in defending human rights, even those who have no national identity. The commitment of the government is also demonstrated by the fact that it has ratified the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment through Law No.5 of 1998 (Rodley, 2002; Kilibarda, 2022; Geamănu, 2012; Prawira, 2025). The legitimacy of this move to endorse this convention is based on the philosophic basis of Pancasila and 1945 Constitutionboth the guiding principles that preach the idea of human dignity based on just and civilized humanity. A society that is well structured, civilized, according to these principles is seen to be a paramount requirement in maintaining peace, domestic order and world affluence, which in turn maintains human civilization. The convention provides that the state should not refuse, send back, or hand over a person to a different country in the event that credible evidence has shown that the individual is going to be subjected to torture or other serious offences. Even though there are numerous challenges and burdens involved in harboring stateless Rohingya refugees, the Indonesian government has been undertaking strategic actions. These are reaching out to the governments of Malaysia and Thailand to offer temporary accommodation and the most effective help, and proactively urging the member states of the ASEAN to open the broadest protection to humanitarianism. The state has also made clear guidelines through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to all parties to stop any violent actions, to help in restoring order in security, and to ensure the stability of the foreign-policy structure of ASEAN. This support of refugees in Indonesia is forming a mutual system with the United Nations High Commissioner of Refugees (UNHCR) and other global human-itarian and migration organizations. The collaboration with UNHCR helps provide international protection and durable solutions, i.e. repatriation or resettlement, whereas the collaboration with the International Organization of Migration (IOM) helps refugees to meet their immediate needs of food, health, and clothes. These complex partnerships include the attempts to discover, resettle, stabilize, and control migration flows.
