Despite being long-term hosts to refugee populations, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia are not yet part of the 1951 Refugee Convention. In all three states, refugees are regulated as discretionary humanitarian exceptions to immigration legislation. With contributions from scholars within and outside the region, this book promotes new thinking on protection of refugees and on resolving tensions between states, actors and institutions in the region. It evaluates the key concepts of sovereignty, security and humanitarianism in this context, the different bases of protection by state and non-state actors and the meaning of responsibility and regionalism in Southeast Asia.

Susan Kneebone is a Professorial Fellow and Senior Associate of the Asian Law Centre and Research Affiliate of the McMullin Statelessness Centre, Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne. She is the Chief Investigator of the Australian Research Council Discovery Project 180100685 Indonesia’s Refugee Policies: Responsibility, Security and Regionalism and currently working on an Australia Research Council (‘ARC’) funded project on ‘The Role of Community Sponsorship for Refugee Resettlement in Australia’.
