- Abstract
In recent decades, there has been a substantial increase in the emigration of Indonesian migrant workers to foreign countries. This surge is closely correlated with the rise in the number of Indonesian migrant workers who depart without proper authorization. This study uses doctrinal legal research or known as normative research. The findings in this study show that there is no national regulation that specifically regulates the protection of illegal migrant workers, Law Number 18 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers provides a legal basis for protecting the human rights of migrant workers in general. Conventions from ASEAN and other International organizations offer guidance for defending migrant workers’ rights. Preventive and curative measures need to be taken to prevent illegal migrant workers, including increased access to information, cooperation between countries, and diplomacy. Human rights protection for illegal migrant workers is important and needs serious attention from multiple stakeholders.
