Unidad de investigación sobre seguridad y cooperación (UNISCI)
Abstract:
This article focuses on the management of women and children associated with FTFs upon their return
to Indonesia, particularly from camps in Syria. This research highlights the urgency of preparing a
mechanism for the returnees and the proposed alternative solutions, as the camps in Syria are expected
to be closed in the near future. In addition, the use of risk assessment tools to identify the level of risk
of each individual will determine the repatriation process, time and individuals to be repatriated within
a given period. The results of this research also point to the following as possible solutions (a) the
establishment of rehabilitation and deradicalization centers within and outside the country, (b) the
preparation of risk assessment and needs mechanisms, (c) the creation of an integrated child adoption
system (SAAT) programme, and (d) the establishment of an early warning and early detection system
mechanism at the community level.
