Abstract :
Some Indonesians in refugee camps in Syria said they wanted to return to
Indonesia. The plan to repatriate Indonesian ex-ISIS citizens then raises pros and
cons. Some parties think that Indonesian citizens who have joined ISIS deserve the
opportunity to improve themselves and deserve to be returned to Indonesia if they
really want to repent. Others are worried that the repatriation of Indonesian
citizens who have joined ISIS will actually cause new problems in Indonesia. The
problem is that among them there are dozens of children, and they are not the
FTF who took up arms to Iraq and Syria. They just follow where their parents go.
Using a normative juridical study method, this study explains the potential
impacts that can arise on national security if the Indonesian government takes a
policy to repatriate Indonesian citizens who have joined ISIS and analyzes the
policies that should be carried out by the government on these problems. Based
on the research results, rehabilitation or deradicalization alone cannot guarantee
that Indonesian children who have joined ISIS with their parents will be able to
eradicate radicalism that may have been indoctrinated. It is necessary to carry
out continuous and continuous monitoring and monitoring. If it doesn't work,
there are three implications/risks: children will continue to look for ways to join
radical groups with large numbers of cells, children who later join radical
organizations will be brainwashed and their friends will be radicalized in these
organizations, and children can move on their own to commit terror. In addition,
there are at least 6 (six) stages of socializing children into terrorist networks,
namely seduction, schooling, selection, subjugation, specialization and stationing.
These stages can be used as indicators by the government to assess the extent to
which a child has been exposed to ISIS radicalism. If the repatriation of these
children is indeed carried out, then the most important thing for the government
to do besides rehabilitation is the social reintegration of children into society, the
main components of which are health and psychosocial recovery and support,
educational and vocational opportunities, and returning them to family life. and
community. Child-focused programs and services must take a holistic approach
that takes into account the individual child's needs and rights, the expectations
and needs of the family and community, and the specific environment in which the
reintegration process will take place.
