Alqy Raya Syadani, Eko Daryanto, David Ronald Tairas

Abstract


Human trafficking is a transnational crime that requires comprehensive handling by various parties, including immigration authorities. This study aims to analyze the role of immigration in addressing human trafficking crimes, focusing on cases involving Indonesia as the country of origin and Cambodia as the destination. The research employs a juridical-empirical approach with a case study method, utilizing data from official documents, interviews with immigration officers, and policy analysis. The findings indicate that the Directorate General of Immigration plays a crucial role in prevention through border surveillance, travel document inspections, and collaboration with law enforcement agencies and international organizations. The challenges in managing human trafficking cases to Cambodia include limited early detection systems, lack of inter-agency coordination, and difficulties in repatriating and rehabilitating victims. Therefore, strategies to enhance immigration capacity are necessary, including the optimization of technology, strengthening bilateral and regional cooperation, and updating regulations to adapt to the evolving modus operandi of human trafficking. This study contributes to the development of policies and immigration practices for more effective and sustainable efforts in combating human trafficking.
