Efforts to Improve Maritime Security in Preventing Human Smuggling of Rohingya Immigrant in Aceh Province According to Migration Securitization Theory

Indonesia is a country that has a strategic position and has a wide sea, especially the Aceh Province which is the main gateway to Indonesia. One of these problems is the human smuggling of Rohingya immigrants which is considered an extraordinary crime. Rohingya immigrants live in Myanmar and experience unfair and inhumane behavior, so they try to flee to countries, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, to get a better life. The escape of these immigrants was by sea using a ship that had been provided by the person who arranged the escape plan. The purpose of this research is to find out the problems that occur in the case of Human Smuggling Rohingyas in Indonesia, their effect on Indonesian security in terms of Maritime Security, and the steps that have been and will be taken by the relevant agencies. The method used is a qualitative method with a descriptive design. Data collection uses the results of documents/library studies, interviews and Forum Group Discussions. The results of this study are Indonesia as a transit country for Rohingya immigrants because the majority are Muslims. These immigrants came in 2 (two) waves, namely the first wave with a total of 99 people and the second wave with a total of 297 people. Many Rohingya immigrants have fled from quarantine sites in Aceh and many have come via rat routes and quarantine places that do not have adequate infrastructure so they are missed. Indonesia, especially the government in Aceh, has developed a monitoring strategy at vulnerable hours and locations, educating the public and forming synergies with related agencies. Synergy and application of regulations of related parties will greatly influence their contribution to conducive national security
