Abstract

The Protection of Human Rights (HAM) is a requirement in the rule of law. One of the ways to protect human rights by the state is through laws and regulations intended to show and ensure the Government's seriousness in providing guarantees to citizens. Citizenship is a human right; it means that no one may be stateless. According to the rejection of the Government of more than 600 Indonesian citizens (WNI) who are members of ISIS who are currently in Syria to return to Indonesia, there are pros and cons in society. The legal process must approve the violations of the Indonesian citizens who are members of ISIS, but still consider the values of justice that rely on the Pancasila as the Philosophische Grondslag of the Indonesian nation. Law Number 12 of 2006 concerning Citizenship, and also in terms of aspects of upholding human rights.
