Abstract

This article analyzes the incorporation of environmental norms into constitutional law, focusing on the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia within a comparative constitutional framework. Amid worsening global ecological degradation, the study investigates the extent to which the right to a healthy environment is recognized as a constitutional right and enforceable through legal mechanisms. Article 28H(1) and Article 33(4) of the 1945 Constitution reflect normative commitments to sustainable development, though in a general and non-justiciable form. Employing normative juridical and comparative legal methods, the study evaluates selected jurisdictions—Portugal, France, Ecuador, and India—which exhibit more progressive and enforceable environmental constitutionalism. The findings reveal that Indonesia's constitutional provisions remain insufficient in terms of clarity, institutional support, and judicial applicability. Therefore, this paper recommends a constitutional refinement through detailed and justiciable environmental provisions, accompanied by institutional guarantees. Strengthening environmental constitutionalism is essential to ensure intergenerational justice and ecological integrity within the framework of constitutional democracy..

Abstract

This study examines the problem of overlapping authority among high state institutions in Indonesia following the amendment to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The shift in the system towards the separation of powers and the proliferation of independent institutions has actually triggered disharmony, sectoral ego, and regulatory obesity, which has led to declining legal certainty and hampered the effectiveness of government. This study uses normative legal research methods with legislative, conceptual, and comparative approaches. This study examines the root of the problem and compares it with the constitutional practices of the United States and South Korea. The results of the study confirm that the availability of a dispute resolution forum in the Constitutional Court is not enough to unravel the conflict of authority in the field. Two main pillars are needed as fundamental solutions. First, the application of regulatory precision in the formation of rigid and firm laws to close the gap in gray areas, adopting the discipline of South Korean legislation. Second, the need to internalize a culture of constitutional compliance among the elite of state administrators, as is the tradition of the United States Constitution. This structural and cultural double improvement is an absolute prerequisite for realizing institutional harmonization, ensuring the upholding of legal certainty, and maintaining governance stability.
