Abstract

Women have been recognized as having an equal role in environmental protection and management. In relation to climate change, for example, internationally, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change recognizes the importance of equal involvement between women and men, in gender-responsive climate policies, through a special agenda that addresses gender issues and climate change, including putting it into the Agreement. Paris. However, until now, the role of women still tends to be neglected, both at the local and national levels. This study aims to analyze and discuss the concept of ecofemenism as a movement for the role of Indonesian women in environmental protection in Indonesia.

Abstract

Celestial phenomena have historically contributed to natural processes, but their collision paths and debris generation have increasingly threatened outer space. Human activities in space exacerbate these risks, prompting concerns over the preservation of the space environment. The United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNCOPUOS) has responded by initiating sustainable space initiatives. In 2010, UNCOPUOS's Scientific and Technical Subcommittee established a Working Group on the Long-Term Sustainability of Outer Space Activities. This group aims to develop voluntary guidelines for states, international organizations, and private entities to ensure sustainable space practices. The collaboration between Avio, an Italian aerospace company, and the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), forged during the 74th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2019, is a notable step towards enhancing space accessibility, particularly for developing nations. This paper examines various aspects of sustainable space practices, including their alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Part one introduces sustainable development principles and the global imperative for environmental protection. Part two explores the role of space technologies in advancing the SDGs. Part three investigates whether the SDGs encompass space-related objectives and proposes strategies for achieving sustainable space practices. Finally, part four advocates for a robust regulatory framework for sustainable space activities, emphasizing the need to learn from past environmental mistakes and protect the integrity of outer space.

Abstract

This paper delves into the convergence of climate change and human rights, with a specific focus on the avenue of litigation within the United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC). In recent years, the escalating impacts of climate change have posed significant threats to human rights, including the rights to life, health, food, water, and a healthy environment. Recognizing the urgency of addressing these challenges, there is a growing discourse on utilizing human rights mechanisms to hold states and other actors accountable for their contributions to climate change and their failure to mitigate its effects. By examining pertinent legal frameworks, including international treaties such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), alongside evolving case law and emerging legal strategies, this paper evaluates the potential for leveraging the UNHRC as a forum for litigating climate change as a human rights issue. It scrutinizes the complexities, obstacles, and opportunities inherent in such litigation, emphasizing its potential to advance climate justice and bolster accountability. Ultimately, this paper underscores the imperative of reframing climate change as not solely an environmental concern but also a profound human rights imperative. By advocating for the recognition of individuals' rights in the face of climate change impacts, litigating before the UNHRC offers a promising avenue for driving systemic change, safeguarding vulnerable communities, and fostering a more equitable and sustainable future.

Abstract

This paper delves into the complex interplay between administrative and private law in environmental litigation within Indonesia's legal framework. Indonesia, rich in natural resources, faces pressing environmental challenges due to rapid industrialization and urbanization. Consequently, disputes often arise over environmental conservation, resource extraction, and pollution control, necessitating legal action to uphold environmental integrity. Administrative law governs governmental bodies responsible for environmental regulation, dictating procedures for permits, inspections, and sanctions. Conversely, private law regulates relationships between individuals and entities, encompassing tort liability, contractual obligations, and property rights. In environmental litigation, these legal domains intersect as plaintiffs seek remedies for harm caused by both public and private actors. The paper examines significant cases where administrative law intersects with private law doctrines, analyzing how administrative decisions may lead to civil claims under negligence, nuisance, or strict liability theories. It also explores the role of public interest litigation and citizen enforcement mechanisms in ensuring government accountability for environmental stewardship. Additionally, it evaluates the challenges and opportunities in navigating the convergence of administrative and private law, including issues of standing, jurisdiction, evidence, and remedies. Emphasizing judicial interpretation and legal harmonization, the paper underscores the symbiotic relationship between these legal realms in Indonesia's environmental litigation landscape. By shedding light on this intersection, it contributes to understanding environmental governance and access to justice while offering insights into global environmental law reconciling public and private interests.

Abstract

This paper examines the political trajectory shaping environmental management law in Indonesia. With its rich biodiversity and rapid industrialization, Indonesia faces complex challenges in balancing economic development with environmental conservation. The analysis begins with an overview of the historical context, tracing the evolution of environmental legislation from the colonial era to the present day. It explores how political dynamics, including shifts in governance structures, power relations, and socio-economic priorities, have influenced the development and enforcement of environmental regulations. The paper highlights key legislative milestones, such as the enactment of the Environmental Management Act in 1997 and subsequent revisions, as well as the establishment of agencies like the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. It also discusses the role of international treaties and agreements in shaping Indonesia's environmental legal framework. Furthermore, the paper evaluates the effectiveness of environmental laws in practice, considering challenges related to enforcement, capacity-building, and coordination among various stakeholders. It examines the role of civil society, the media, and grassroots movements in advocating for stronger environmental protection measures. Drawing on current trends and future projections, the paper concludes with an analysis of potential directions for Indonesian environmental management law. It considers the implications of political, social, and environmental factors, including the need for greater transparency, public participation, and adaptive governance mechanisms in addressing emerging environmental issues such as climate change, deforestation, and marine pollution.

Abstract

This paper critically examines the convergence of environmental law enforcement and social justice within the context of Indonesia. Despite the nation's abundant biodiversity and natural resources, it grapples with the intricate challenge of harmonizing environmental conservation efforts with socio-economic development imperatives. However, the effective enforcement of existing environmental legislation often proves deficient, exacerbating environmental degradation and exacerbating social inequalities. Through an interdisciplinary lens drawing from law, sociology, and environmental studies, this study systematically investigates both the theoretical foundations and practical strategies for integrating social justice considerations into environmental law enforcement mechanisms. Central to the analysis is an exploration of principles such as equity, fairness, and inclusivity, elucidating pathways for their incorporation into the formulation and implementation of environmental regulations and enforcement protocols. Furthermore, the paper conducts a nuanced examination of the socio-political dynamics shaping the enforcement landscape in Indonesia, including power differentials, issues of corruption, and institutional capacities. Through a comprehensive review of pertinent literature and empirical case studies, the paper identifies promising approaches and best practices for enhancing social justice within environmental law enforcement. These encompass community-driven monitoring initiatives, robust stakeholder engagement mechanisms, and targeted capacity-building endeavors tailored to law enforcement agencies. Additionally, the paper underscores the transformative potential of technology and innovation in fostering greater transparency, accountability, and public participation in environmental governance processes. By synthesizing theoretical insights with empirical evidence, this paper contributes substantively to the nuanced understanding of the intricate interplay between environmental law enforcement and social justice within the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Forest fires in Indonesia have become a recurring environmental crisis with widespread consequences. International principles and agreements provide frameworks for addressing such disasters, yet the translation of these principles into effective action at the national level remains challenging. This paper conducts a discourse analysis to examine the implementation of international principles in Indonesian forest fire cases. Drawing from policy documents, media reports, and scholarly literature, the study investigates Indonesia's adherence to these principles and the factors influencing their application. Findings reveal a complex landscape of challenges and opportunities. While Indonesia has made commitments to international agreements, such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the ASEAN Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution, translating these commitments into tangible policies and actions faces hurdles such as institutional capacity, governance issues, and conflicting interests. Moreover, the discourse surrounding forest fires involves diverse stakeholders, including government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and international bodies, each with varying perspectives and agendas. This research underscores the importance of understanding the dynamics of international environmental governance in addressing transboundary challenges like forest fires. By elucidating the discourse surrounding the implementation of international principles in Indonesian forest fire cases, this study contributes to advancing knowledge on global environmental governance and offers insights for fostering more effective collaboration among stakeholders to mitigate the impacts of future forest fire crises.

Abstract

Currently, Indonesia is grappling with serious environmental issues exacerbated by a lack of public awareness and law enforcement. Law enforcement is crucial in addressing environmental problems, necessitating the use of coercive legal instruments such as criminal sanctions. The primary legal framework governing environmental protection and management in Indonesia is Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management and several amendments to Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning the Ratification of Government Regulation Number 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation. This article focuses on the changes in criminal sanctions and how these changes occurred by comparing the two aforementioned laws and analyzing them. The results indicate that five articles concerning criminal sanctions have been amended or repealed. This is because four out of the five articles have been simplified for administrative purposes and to avoid legal ambiguities, while one of the five articles cannot be determined due to changes resulting in legal nullity.
