Indonesian Minority Justice Review

About the Journal

The Indonesian Minority Justice Review (IMJR) is a peer-reviewed academic journal that provides an inclusive and critical forum for the exploration of minority rights, legal recognition, and social justice in Indonesia and comparable multicultural societies. Dedicated to advancing legal scholarship on the protection and empowerment of minorities, the journal focuses on how law, policy, and governance intersect with issues of ethnicity, religion, belief, gender identity, disability, linguistic diversity, sexual orientation, and other identity markers that shape minority experiences.

Indonesia, as a pluralistic nation with deep-rooted cultural heterogeneity, faces persistent challenges in balancing national unity with respect for minority rights. IMJR seeks to address this complexity by publishing rigorous, justice-oriented research that explores both historical injustices and contemporary legal frameworks affecting minority communities. The journal embraces a broad conception of minority justice—one that includes not only formal legal recognition but also substantive equality, cultural integrity, participatory citizenship, and freedom from structural discrimination.

The journal’s mission is to create a critical space for academic reflection and policy discourse that support legal reform, rights-based development, and inclusive public governance. IMJR welcomes interdisciplinary research that engages with law, political science, sociology, anthropology, religious studies, and international human rights.
