<![CDATA[The conflict between tourism investment and the protection of human rights (HR) in the conservation area of Raja Ampat reflects the tension between economic development and socio-ecological sustainability. Although the tourism sector is often regarded as a more sustainable development alternative, investment practices in this region have led to human rights violations, such as the appropriation of customary land, the exclusion of indigenous communities from decision-making processes, and environmental degradation that directly affects local cultural and social life. This study aims to analyze how Pancasila can serve as a normative foundation for ensuring human rights protection amid tourism investment conflicts in Raja Ampat. This research employs a normative juridical approach, with data obtained from literature reviews, legal documents, institutional reports, and recent media coverage. The analysis is conducted qualitatively using a legal hermeneutic approach that focuses on the values of Pancasila as an evaluative framework. The findings show that the principles of Pancasila, particularly the second and fifth principles provide a strong ethical and constitutional basis for safeguarding the rights of indigenous communities, including their rights to a healthy environment, land ownership, and self-determination. Applying Pancasila in policy formulation related to tourism investment and management offers a potential alternative solution to development-related conflicts, while reinforcing social and ecological justice in strategic national areas such as Raja Ampat.]]>
