Abstract

The phenomenon of racial discrimination in Indonesia, an issue that highlights injustice in social and legal interactions is a phenomenon that needs to be considered, given the background of the Indonesian state is a country with rich diversity, so the state is faced with the challenge of overcoming racial attitudes that threaten unity and social justice. This research reviews racial discrimination in Indonesia using normative legal research methods. Racial discrimination is considered a crime against humanity that goes against the principles of equality and human rights. Indonesia has ratified the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) through Law Number 29 of 1999 and issued Law Number 40 of 2008 as a concrete effort to eliminate racial discrimination. However, the implementation of the law against racial discrimination still faces challenges, as shown by the persistence of discrimination cases. The role of Komnas HAM in supervision and recommendations related to racial discrimination has also not been fully effective. Therefore, the enforcement of human rights values in Indonesia still needs to be improved.
