| 總結: | Despite Indonesia’s increased policing of its borders to counter irregular migration since
2000 and the claims that the country is increasingly a ‘cul de sac’ rather than a point of
transit, successive waves of Rohingya refugees have not only managed to arrive in Aceh
by boat, but have also continually been able to leave their shelters and camps to seek
relatives and employment opportunities in neighbouring Malaysia. Yet, this recurring
phenomenon of Rohingya arrival and departure remains understudied in the context of
Indonesia’s humanitarian border. This paper adopts a processual border approach to
examine the ways in which the humanitarian border regime differentiates migrants and
attempts to regulate their movements based on particular forms of humanitarian
knowledge. It then maps how these dominant forms of humanitarian knowledge and
categories are contested and problematised at different sites and scales, namely, in the
regional province of Aceh and through the movements of Rohingya migrants which are
shaped by their ethnic and gendered identities. In problematising established
humanitarian categories, this paper raises imperative questions on humanitarian praxis
and the manner in which protection and care ought to be delivered. |
