<![CDATA[This study addresses the gap between the legal protection of the intellectual property rights of muralists in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam, and the practical protection that arises when murals are used for tourism purposes without permission, attribution, or adherence to occupational safety regulations. This study aims to analyze and compare legal regulations regarding the moral rights of muralists in relation to their use by tourists in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam, and to formulate future legal protection based on progressive regulations. This study uses normative legal research with statutory and comparative approaches, analyzing the relevant primary and secondary legal materials. This study shows that all three countries recognize and protect the ethical rights of muralists, but differ significantly in the scope of rights, enforcement mechanisms, and clarity of laws regarding the use of murals for tourism. Vietnam offers a more robust framework with more enforcement routes, Malaysia provides a clearer formal basis for moral-right enforcement, while Indonesia exhibits significant regulatory gaps regarding tourist exploitation. These findings are important because they provide a comparative basis for re-constructing a more responsive legal framework that ensures recognition, integrity, compensation, participation, and legal certainty regarding the use of murals for tourism.]]>
