Abstract

The persistent non-compliance of government officials with final and binding Administrative Court (PTUN) decisions in environmental cases has created a pattern of administrative impunity in Indonesia, weakening legal certainty and judicial authority while worsening environmental harm and undermining public welfare. This article examines the structural causes of non-compliance and proposes a normative framework to strengthen the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia (ORI) as an autonomous external oversight institution in enforcing environmental judgments. Using normative legal research with statutory, conceptual, case study, and comparative approaches, it identifies three key weaknesses in the enforcement regime: the absence of effective coercive mechanisms, limited effectiveness of administrative sanctions, and political interference in oversight processes. These factors create a systemic enforcement gap that enables officials to evade legal obligations with minimal accountability. The article argues that ORI should be repositioned as a stronger compliance-enforcement actor through enhanced supervisory authority, improved complaint mechanisms, systematic monitoring, and proactive investigation of maladministration in executing court decisions, in order to close the enforcement gap, uphold the rule of law, and promote ecological justice.
