Abstract
Description
This study aims to analyze international human rights monitoring that can be used toward refugee protection monitoring. Several international human rights instruments regulate the protection of stateless people and refugees. In the international human rights instrument, it is known that there are several mechanisms in the form of complaints or other mechanisms for arbitrary acts by countries participating in the convention for individuals who experience persecution. For example, the Convention Against Torture (CAT) recognizes an individual complaint mechanism against individuals who have experienced persecution, the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) which requires regular reporting to convention-party countries as well as other mechanisms recommended by the ICERD Committee, the International Covenant on Rights-Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) also recognizes the individual complaint mechanism, then the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) which regulates child protection that also collaborates with UNHCR in dealing with international refugee protection, as well as the UPR mechanism which is the newest mechanism that allows discussion regarding refugee protection. This research is analytical with a statue and conceptual approach and uses primary as well as secondary legal sources. The results shows that International Human Rights Monitoring, especially the monitoring mechanism for individual complaints in CAT, is considered as an appropriate monitoring and it can be used for International Refugee Protection Monitoring, as there were absences of international refugees monitoring on the participating countries acts that have ratified the 1951 Convention regarding refugees status.
