From research data after analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods,
obtained results that the action should be done by Egypt to protect the foreigner in
the chaos situation that is must always protect aliens in order to compensate the
entry of foreigners into its territory. If the state fails to do this duty, it is
considered as a breaches of international law. Although some countries there is
no obligation to receive aliens in a territory, but when they receive it, then they
have to perform protective actions against him. In international law a state is
responsible for all acts of errors and crimes against foreigners in the country as a
rule of state obligations towards the civilian population.
Egypt has failed to meet the responsibility to protect foreigners under
international law when chaos occurs. It can be seen from the presence of
foreigners, both as journalists and ordinary civilians, who were victims during the
unrest in Egypt. Including Imanda Amalia and CNN reporters. Therefore against
the Egyptian state could be held accountable to the victims of the foreign citizen
as a result of the riots in his country because the Egypt State breach obligations
under international law that is negligent in giving protection to foreigners in the
country that should be his responsibility.
