PERAN ASEAN DAN NEGARA ANGGOTA ASEAN TERHADAP PERLINDUNGAN PEKERJA MIGRAN
Abstract
The issue of migrant workers is not new, but still the current issue, because there were lots of negative sides in the form of inhumane treatment of migrant workers. Within the scope of ASEAN, Indonesia is not the only sending countries of migrant workers. There were other countries whose sending its migrant workers with similar destinations with Indonesia. Problems faced by migrant workers from those countries are basically the same as experienced by Indonesian migrant workers. This research discusses the problem, namely how ASEAN’s role in protecting migrant workers and how’s Indonesia and other ASEAN member countries legal instrument readiness to protect migrant workers. By using the method of textual study, it was concluded that the role of ASEAN in the protection of migrant workers has been stated in the ASEAN Charter elaborated into three (3) pillars of the ASEAN Community, nevertheless that roles cannot be maximized for there were no consensus in creating the protection of the rights of migrant workers instruments. Recommendation to the impasse is to bring and discuss it in the ASEAN Community Council meeting, because the issue is a cross-community issue. ASEAN’s role in implementing ASEAN instrument on the protection of migrant worker is dependent upon the efforts of each ASEAN member countries in formulating regulations in their respective domestic laws. Nevertheless, their commitments to the protection of migrant workers are relatively poor.
