strengthening the task force for dealing with human trafficking; (3) provision of appropriate budget allocation;
and (4) strengthening the prevention
function through dissemination and
outreach.
Regarding the presence of Rohingya
refugees in the Aceh Province region
who were rejected by the people of
Aceh, the Commission carried out
monitoring from November-December 2023.
Furthermore, the Commission is consistent in continuing to encourage the
acceleration of the ratification of the
PPRT Bill. The ratification of this legislative product is a strategic step to
protect domestic workers who are
vulnerable to exploitation and violence.
This monitoring focuses on aspects
of handling refugees and the social
dynamics that occur. In addition, the
Commission made recommendations
to the National Police to strengthen law enforcement and collaborate
with security authorities in ASEAN and
Interpol to eradicate syndicates and
break the chain of human smuggling.
The Commission also recommends
revising the Presidential Decree on
Handling Overseas Refugees, especially the authority of the Provincial/
City/Regency Government in terms
of the use of regional budgets, and
strengthening coordination with the
central government.
In 2023, the Commission again received complaints from legal representatives and hearings from the MJV
family, a Filipino citizen sentenced to
death for a narcotics crime and suspected of being a victim of human
trafficking. In addition, the Commission has followed up on complaints of
raids, arrests and detention of 67 Indonesian migrant workers.
