Analisa terhadap Perlindungan Hukum bagi Kaum Etnis Rohingya dalam Perspektif Hak Asasi Manusia

Abstract

The occurrence of human rights violations against the Rohingya ethnic group in Myanmar has drawn international attention. The Rohingya, who have been living in Myanmar for several generations, have not received justice from the Myanmar government. Various human rights violations have occurred, contradicting international legal instruments. Based on discussions, it is evident that under international law, the legal protection for the Rohingya is outlined in various international instruments such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1966, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Genocide Convention, the International Convention Against Torture, the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination of 1965, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. Furthermore, the resolution of severe human rights violations against the Rohingya in Myanmar, based on Article 33 of the UN Charter, suggests that the Rohingya ethnic group, the government of Myanmar, and the citizens of Myanmar can address the issues through mediation first. If this approach proves unsuccessful, the UN Security Council can refer the case to international adjudication, such as the International Criminal Court established by the Rome Statute of 1998. The type of research used is normative legal research or normative juridical research.
