Legal Framework Against Case Discrimination Against Religious and Ethnic Minorities in the Reformation Era

Abstract

In the era of reform in Indonesia, the protection of the rights of religious and ethnic minorities has become the main focus. The legal framework built post-reform aims to prevent and overcome cases of discrimination against this minority group. By examining the constitution, laws, government regulations and judicial practices, a strong legal basis can be found to protect the rights of religious and ethnic minorities. However, challenges remain in implementing and enforcing these laws. The gap between existing laws and practice in the field remains a problem, and there are often obstacles in accessing justice for victims of discrimination.
