Abstract

This study examines the constitutional review of the right to a good and healthy environment as guaranteed under Article 28H paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia in the context of transboundary environmental pollution, with a focus on the interpretation of state sovereignty. Transboundary pollution raises serious legal challenges due to the limitations of national jurisdiction in protecting citizens’ constitutional rights from environmental harm originating outside state territory. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, and case approaches by analyzing the 1945 Constitution, environmental legislation, and relevant Constitutional Court decisions. The findings indicate that a narrow and territorial interpretation of state sovereignty may undermine the effective protection of environmental rights. Therefore, the Constitutional Court is encouraged to adopt a progressive constitutional interpretation that reconceptualizes sovereignty as a protective constitutional obligation (state obligation) encompassing transnational dimensions, in order to ensure the effective fulfillment of citizens’ environmental rights.

Abstract

The principle of the rule of law (rechtsstaat) positions law as the primary safeguard of justice and democracy. In Indonesian constitutional practice, however, law often operates under political influence through legal politicization. This occurs when legal instruments are used to advance political interests in legislation, adjudication, and enforcement. Such practices undermine institutional independence, weaken enforcement quality, and erode public trust. This study examines the forms, mechanisms, and impacts of legal politicization on law and enforcement in post Reformasi Indonesia. It employs a normative juridical method with statutory and conceptual approaches, drawing on Critical Legal Studies (CLS) and analysis of statutes, court decisions, and relevant cases. The findings show that legal politicization in Indonesia is systemic and structural, reflected in agenda driven legislation, judicial intervention, the weakening of independent institutions, and selective enforcement. These patterns weaken the rechtsstaat and checks and balances while accelerating democratic decline through elite impunity and shrinking civic space. Legal politicization therefore poses a serious threat to constitutional democracy in Indonesia.
