Abstract
According to statistics by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), by mid-2017 more than 65 million people had been forced to leave their homes due to conflict, disaster or poverty. A small fraction of them, about 14,000 people, have come to Indonesia seeking for international protection. Without a normative framework and the institutional infrastructure to deal with asylum seekers and refugees, including their applications for protection but also the need for shelter, so far Indonesia has relied on ad hoc measures.
