Refugees in Indonesia
Although Indonesia has not ratified the 1951 Refugee Convention on Refugees, the country has a long tradition of hosting refugees and people in need of international protection.
Today, there are some 13,500 refugees registered with the UNHCR office in Indonesia.
28% of the total number of people registered in UNHCR are children
143 children came alone or separated from their families
At the end of July 2020, most refugees in Indonesia came from Afghanistan (56%), Somalia (10%) and Iraq (6%)
