PEMENUHAN HAK ANAK YANG DIRAMPAS KEBEBASANNYA: DISKURSUS STANDAR MINIMUM LEMBAGA PEMBINAAN KHUSUS ANAK (LPKA) DI INDONESIA

Although Indonesia has ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child since 5 September 1990, its implementation still contains many weaknesses. This study aims to formulate minimum guideline standards for LPKA management in Indonesia that is able to protect children’s rights in accordance with the mandate of the legislations. This socio-legal research uses statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, taking samples from LPKA Blitar and LPKA Karangasem. The results indicate that there is no minimum guideline standards in LPKA for fulfilling children’s rights. The standards are adjusted to the capabilities of each LPKA based on the availability of human resources, funding, and minimal facilities. Therefore, the auhtor formulates minimum standards for LPKA management, starting from admission, registration and placement; physical environment; education, until return to community.
