YOGYAKARTA Centrally discussed the Indonesian Government's offer to the 1965 exils in the form of ease of immigration services. Apart from this case, the 1965 exil was often discussed because it was concerned with gross human rights violations. Then, what is the actual 1965 exil?
In the Big Indonesian Dictionary, the exil is defined as marginalized. The term is taken from the word English which means segregated, or someone who was forced to leave his hometown or house where he lived. In Indonesia, the exil is associated with the 1965 incident. The term refers to someone who was 'forced to leave his hometown' due to the 1965 incident.
In a journal entitled Political Exil in the Legal Perspective of International Refugees written by Muhammad Faisal, it was stated that the 1965 Political Exil was those who during the shift in power of the Old Order government to the New Order were abroad on the grounds of studying or becoming a state delegation to attend high-level conferences in socialist countries.
As is known, in the 1960s, the President of the Republic of Indonesia-1 Soekarno, who represented the Old Order, had sent youths and women abroad. Unfortunately those sent could not return to Indonesia due to the 1965 tragedy. The tragedy was in the form of the massacre of high-ranking Indonesian military officers which led to other killings and massive suppression in various regions in Indonesia against someone related to communists or left-handed.
The 1965 tragedy, which was considered a transition period for Soekarno's transfer of power to Suharto, forced young people abroad to become exiles. The facilities that were initially given to them were revoked.
During the New Order, students and delegates were not recognized by the government and were considered communists. Revocation of citizenship rights, including passports, prevented them from returning to Indonesia. Although some managed to return to Indonesia, they will be arrested and interrogated by the military. Meanwhile, those who choose not to return to Indonesia live as citizens without citizenship. They had survived in several countries such as the Netherlands, Russia, Romania, Albania, China, and Cuba.
Because they could not go home, the exil who lost his citizenship decided to build life in the countries they stopped, including the Netherlands. They also apply for citizenship in the country.

As a form of resolving problems related to gross human rights violations, including the abolition of rights back to the country of origin, the Government of Indonesia does have Law No. 27 of 2004 concerning the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (KKR). However, the law is based on the Constitutional Court Decision No. 006/PUU-IV/2006 of the KKR Law was canceled because it was considered contrary to the 1945 Constitution and was deemed to have no binding legal force.
Then in 2019, quoted from the Komnas HAM website, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) expressed his support for resolving cases of gross human rights violations in the past.
Efforts to resolve the 1965 exil problem are still experiencing a deadlock. Most recently, the Government made an offer to the 1965 exil in the form of easy immigration services for those who want to return to Indonesia. The offer is a form of restoration of citizenship rights. However, some of these efforts are still not sufficient to restore the suffering of those who are victims of gross human rights violations.
