Abstract

The Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 12 of 2006 on the Citizenship of the Republic of Indonesia accommodates some aspects of the rights and obligations of Indonesian Citizen comprehensively that was not provided by the previous one. Even so, the principles adopted, especially dealing with the limited double citizenship, raise some problems in the praxis. This research is aimed to study the problem persisted and to figure out the possible suggestion to solve it. The juridical empirical method is used to collect the primary data from the society qualitatively, compare to the law and its derivation, then analyze evaluatively from the perspective of Law and Human Rights. It found various problems endured in this rule as it resulted in the loss of many heir of Indonesian Citizen, particularly, the subject of double citizenship who was born before this decree stipulated. Moreover, it does not facilitate their special needs to acquire their citizenship of the Republic of Indonesia back. Thus, it recommends the revision of The Law on the Citizenship of the Republic of Indonesia and its derivation, specifically about naturalization, also to harmonize them all.
