Abstract

The wave of demonstrations involving massive student participation has raised a fundamental dilemma between child protection and the participation right. This research analyzes the paradox of government policies that disguise the prohibition on student demonstrations under the guise of child protection, despite the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) recognizing both protection and participation rights as equally binding obligations of the state. This research looks at what the government's doing and how it affects students. It uses information from documents, laws, and science journals. The research found three things. First, the government is being too harsh. It does not understand what students need. It thinks that keeping students quiet is the same as keeping them safe. Second, look at what happened in Soweto in 1976 and with the Fridays for Future movement; we can see that student movements can bring about changes. The Soweto movement helped end the treatment of students during apartheid, and Fridays for Future changed the way people think about climate change. These movements are similar to student movements in Indonesia. They are facing resistance from institutions, but they are working together and making a difference. Third, the government's harsh policies are not stopping student movements. Instead, these policies might be hurting the country's ability to pass on values to the next generation. If the government does not start letting students participate and learn about being citizens in a safe way, it could hurt the country's ability to have a strong civil society.

Abstract

The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) is a public policy designed to guarantee children's rights to adequate health and nutrition under Law Number 35 of 2014 on Child Protection. However, since its launch in January 2025, the program has been marked by widespread food poisoning cases, with CELIOS research recording over 15,000 cases through November 2025. Although food safety and children's rights have been studied separately, no comprehensive legal analysis has examined Free Nutritious Meal Program poisoning cases as a form of neglect of children's rights and its implications for state accountability. This study aims to analyze forms of rights neglect in Free Nutritious Meal Program poisoning cases and map legal responsibilities based on the best interests of the child principle. Normative legal research was employed using statute and conceptual approaches. Data consisted of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials collected through library research and analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical method. Findings reveal that MBG poisoning cases constitute neglect of children's rights to survival and development, physical and mental health, education, protection from negligence, and the best interests of the child principle. Legal responsibility extends to the state, the National Nutrition Agency, Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units, schools, and local governments. Recurrent poisoning cases reflect systemic weaknesses in oversight, food safety standards, and accountability mechanisms. This study implies the urgent need for strengthened legal accountability, risk-based monitoring reform, and child rights-centered policies to prevent recurrence.
