Abstract

The perspective of international migration studies is becoming increasingly complex in the 21st century. Increased escalation of conflict and persecution can encourage the creation of a massive amount of forced migration. Migration governance in the Southeast Asian region is in the spotlight when faced with the forced migration flows of ethnic Rohingya. This study focuses on the forced migration governance in the Southeast Asian region by taking the framework of the analysis of the ‘model of forced migration’ from William B. Wood and the ‘international migration management’ of Martin Geiger and Antoine Pécoud. This research uses qualitative research methods by prioritizing observations on seminar, literature studies and internet-based research. The Rohingya humanitarian crisis is the concern of various related parties, including the extent of migration management in the Southeast Asian region. In this case, there are three pillars of international migration management, including the response of countries in the Southeast Asian region to Rohingya refugees. Although, until now only three Southeast Asian countries have signed the 1951 convention and the 1967 protocol regarding refugee status. Second, the management of this migration is not only completed by state actors but also involves Inter-Governmental Organizations such as UNHCR and ASEAN in dealing with Rohingya refugees in each Southeast Asian country. Third, it is necessary to create a legal framework for the protection of refugees in the Southeast Asian region and comply with international refugee law in order to realize safe international migration flows and protect refugees.
