Indonesia, as a developing country, faces major challenges in balancing economic development with protecting the rights of indigenous people. The history of economic development shows that the industrialization phase often ignores the rights of communities, especially indigenous communities. In this context, Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 60 of 2023 concerning the National Strategy for Business and Human Rights is an effort to overcome this problem. This research aims to examine the concept of protection and empowerment of indigenous peoples in business practices and its urgency based on the perspective of the Presidential Decree. Presidential Decree Number 60 of 2023 seeks to overcome this problem by encouraging harmonization of regulations, drafting policies for protecting human rights in business, as well as increasing access to information and restoring rights for victims of human rights violations.
