Abstract

In order to protect the rights of indigenous peoples in Indonesia and the Philippines, this study aims to examine the connection between substantive justice and the FPIC framework. Since Indonesia has not officially adopted Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC), there is a major difference between the two countries' legal systems in this respect. On top of that, it's a part of the Philippines' Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act (IPRA). Methods used in the study include conceptual frameworks, legal philosophy, comparative procedures, comparative approaches to policy and law, and normative (doctrinal) approaches to analysis. In spite of difficulties, the Philippines demonstrates a more thorough application of FPIC, but the results reveal that Indonesia's implementation is shallow and does not effectively protect the rights of indigenous groups. Separate bodies, such as the National Commission for the Rights and Protection of Indigenous Peoples (KNHPMA), should be established in Indonesia so that FPIC may be formally incorporated into laws, according to the paper. By fully integrating FPIC in Indonesia, we may achieve equity, inclusivity, and sustainable development based on respect for local knowledge. This might reduce agricultural disputes and improve the protection of indigenous peoples' human rights.

Abstract

This research discusses the challenges of implementing Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) for indigenous peoples in national legal arrangements in Indonesia. FPIC is a principle that gives indigenous peoples the right to give consent to policies that affect their territories and resources freely, prior to full information, and without pressure. Although the FPIC rights of indigenous peoples are implicitly described and regulated in various national regulations, such as the 1945 Constitution, Forestry Law, Village Law, and environmental regulations slot zeus, these arrangements do not necessarily guarantee the protection of indigenous peoples' rights over their customary territories. Explicit legal arrangements are needed to guarantee indigenous peoples' FPIC rights over their customary territories. This is because in its implementation, the application of FPIC rights still faces various challenges such as conflicts of interest with the State's Right to Control (HMN), low understanding in the field, and gender injustice being the main obstacles. This study uses a normative juridical approach to identify differences between international and national legal arrangements, and offers recommendations to improve the protection and implementation of FPIC in Indonesia. The research emphasizes the importance of explicit legal arrangements to achieve justice, prosperity and harmony between indigenous peoples and the government.
