In Aceh, Indonesia, we provide shelter to Rohingyas migrants who have been in perilous
journey, fleeing from conflict and being stateless. More than 1,300 Bangladeshi and Rohingyas
have been saved by the local people of Aceh. In Medan, Indonesia, we take a good care those
with no state, despite in a detention centre, before they took for a new dawn away from their
nightmare.

Just as the same with the European may do, Indonesia comes with options in managing these
kind of migratory phenomenon. But it requires a multilateral response. International solidarity
should be at the forefront of this humanitarian situation. We have agreed, with Malaysia, to
take care Rohingya migrants by creating temporary shelters in some areas.

The international community must work collectively to solve this problem and should not left
the burden to any country alone.

The morality of receiving these migrants lies not only in the international documents but in
our heart. Parties to the convention shall adhere their laws to carefully provide a well-received
solutions to migrants including the refugees. While those who are not, may share the burden by
contributing to the countries receiving the migrants through humanitarian assistances.
