<![CDATA[Indonesia is a country rich in mineral and gas natural resources (oil and gas), this makes Indonesia one of the countries that is a center for oil and gas related investments. In terms of normative construction, the authority to manage oil and gas natural resources has been regulated in Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution concerning the State's Right to Control (HMN) and its derivative regulations, namely Law No. 22 of 2001 concerning Oil and Gas and related regulations in the management of natural resources. On the other hand, the allusion between HMN and the control of customary territories by Indigenous Legal Communities (MHA) is an interesting point, where Article 18B of the 1945 Constitution and the existence of the Papua Special Autonomy Law provide space for protection for MHA in Papua, specifically in Agimuga. This research method uses a normative method, which traces laws and regulations related to natural resources as well as the Papua Special Autonomy Law and its derivative regulations. The results of this study place the existence of a guarantee of protection in the Oil and Gas Law in Article 11 paragraph (3) if the state is present in the context of the welfare of the people, specifically MHA, and specifically creates a new norm in the form of the Customary Law Community Law which becomes the lex specialis norm of MHA.]]>
