Abstract

The paradigm of natural resource utilization in Indonesia refers to the principle of retributive justice that provides equal opportunities for communities to manage and utilize natural resources. However, corporations often engage in acts of environmental exploitation that lead to pollution and environmental damage. This study aims to analyze the postponement of prosecution against corporations committing environmental crimes from the perspective of legal philosophy and justice. The study was conducted using normative research and a legislative and conceptual approach. Secondary data will be collected through a literature study method and will be analyzed qualitatively descriptively. The results show that the postponement of prosecution agreement is a concrete implementation of the paradigm shift of justice from retributive to restorative because law enforcement efforts are carried out as much as possible outside the courts. However, this paradigm shift creates problems because the absence of criminal sanctions against corporations will risk the repetition of criminal acts in the future. Therefore, a balance is needed in the process of corporate law enforcement so that environmental restoration efforts can still provide an optimal deterrent effect.
