%X The world is open to the public, free to travel and move anywhere.  However, there are some people who move not because the will of  their own will but by necessity. They save themselves because of  economic factors or conflicts in their countries who encourage them to  go from his country. In some cases, those who go into the country  using a travel agent or penyelundup(people smuggler) to go to another  country that can protect them. Armed with makeshift, limited  knowledge and the smugglers who act less responsible, make them  stranded in a place completely unknown before. Indonesia is a transit  country for illegal immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees.  International protection of refugees set in the 1951 Convention and  1967 Protocol on the Status of Refugees. Indonesia has yet to ratify the  1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol on refugees, so there is no specific  national law governing the status and whereabouts of asylum seekers  and refugees in Indonesia. Therefore, the Indonesian government  deems it necessary in cooperation with the International Organization  for Migration (IOM) and United Nations High Commissioner for  Refugees (UNHCR) in dealing with immigrants and refugees in  Indonesia.
