crime of rape against minors, so their
eligibility to receive their rights is

In John Rawls' Theory of Justice, Rawls
argues that justice is a way of
distributing rights, duties, benefits, and
burdens among individuals in society.
Furthermore, he argues that “justice
rejects the argument that the loss of
liberty of some can be justified on the
basis of the greater benefits enjoyed by
others. In a just society, therefore, the
liberty of equal citizens remains
unchanged; the rights guaranteed by
justice are subject neither to political
bargaining nor to considerations of
social interest.”
In in accordance with Jhon Rawls'
opinion above, where justice for
Rohingya refugees is a way to distribute
rights and obligations, benefits and
burdens, justice rejects or does not
allow justice to obtain benefits without
burden, or Rohingya refugees to obtain
greater benefits from actions in
Myanmar that are greater than
Indonesian society, justice is subject to
political bargaining by the government.
The existence of rights and obligations,
in the present situation owned by
humans as legal subjects, was
additionally related to the protection
provided by law in their interactions
with other humans and their
environment. As legal subjects, humans
have the right and obligation to take
legal action because they are legal
subjects. This means that, as Rohingya
refugees or legal subjects, they have
rights and obligations, as opposed to
what we've seen so far, in which
Rohingya refugees have rights but fail to
fulfill obligations. Prajudi Atmosudirjo
agrees, stating that the goal of legal
protection is to achieve justice. The
function of law is not only to achieve
legal certainty, but also to achieve
adaptable and flexible guarantees and
balances, as well as to create a balance

between entrepreneurs and consumers,
the government and the people. The law
is required to protect those who are
weak or not yet strong socially,
economically, and politically in order to
achieve social justice.
Furthermore, the consequences of
destroying local cultural values in areas
where there are Rohingya refugees who
can commit arbitrary acts begin with a
lack of cleanliness and a disregard for
Islamic law and customs within the
community. The rejection of Rohingya
immigrants is not unreasonable given
the numerous violations of norms,
whether legal, decency, or other social
norms.
The implications of the destruction of
the socio-cultural order in the form of
knowledge, norms, regulations, and
community skills in the Indonesian
region that have been passed down
from generation to generation have
implications for local wisdom, which is
the social capital developed by the
community to create order and balance
between the socio-cultural life of the
community and the preservation of the
surrounding natural resources.
The potential negative side implications
include the unstoppable flow of
Rohingya refugees entering Indonesia,
which allows the entry of ideas or
values that are not in accordance with
the personality and identity of a nation.
This is an undeniable reality; if we do
not have a filter or are unable to filter it,
then we are on the verge of multicomplex degradation. It is not only the
values of society that are threatened,
not only the destruction of human
morals that will be faced; even the
national identity and integrity of a
nation can be disrupted, including the
wealth of a nation that can be “peeped”
or even stolen. Looking at the reality
