Abstract

The establishment and operation of houses of worship in Indonesia have periodically generated disputes concerning licensing, local regulations, community objections, and freedom of religion or belief. Although administrative requirements may serve legitimate planning purposes, their implementation can create unequal barriers for religious minorities. This article examines the human rights implications of local regulatory practices governing houses of worship. Using normative juridical and policy analysis, the study evaluates constitutional guarantees, administrative requirements, local government authority, and principles of equality and non-discrimination. The article argues that administrative procedures should not become indirect mechanisms for restricting the exercise of religious freedom. The study proposes a rights-based licensing framework based on objective criteria, transparent procedures, consistent application, and effective judicial or administrative remedies. Local governments should distinguish legitimate regulatory considerations from objections based solely on religious identity or majority preference. The article concludes that protecting freedom of religion requires not only constitutional recognition but also institutional mechanisms capable of preventing discriminatory implementation at the local level.

Abstract

Individuals and communities challenging environmentally harmful projects may face legal proceedings, intimidation, administrative sanctions, or other forms of pressure. Such risks can discourage public participation and undermine environmental governance. This article examines the protection of environmental defenders in Indonesia, focusing on freedom of expression, participation, and protection against strategic litigation. Using normative juridical and policy analysis, the study evaluates environmental law, procedural safeguards, freedom of expression, and anti-SLAPP mechanisms. The article argues that environmental defenders require effective protection because public participation is essential to environmental accountability. Legal mechanisms that allow powerful actors to burden critics with costly litigation may create a chilling effect even when claims ultimately fail. The study proposes a comprehensive anti-SLAPP framework incorporating early dismissal procedures, protection against retaliatory administrative measures, legal assistance, and remedies for abusive litigation. The article concludes that strengthening protection for environmental defenders would support both human rights and environmental governance by ensuring that citizens can raise legitimate concerns without disproportionate legal retaliation.

Abstract

The increasing use of artificial intelligence in public administration may improve efficiency but also create risks of discrimination, opacity, and arbitrary decision-making. Algorithmic systems used for social assistance, public services, risk assessment, or law enforcement may affect individuals without providing adequate explanations or opportunities to challenge automated outcomes. This article examines algorithmic discrimination in Indonesian public services from a human rights perspective. Using normative juridical and policy analysis, the study evaluates equality rights, data protection, administrative law, and emerging AI governance principles. The article argues that automated decision-making should remain subject to human rights standards, particularly non-discrimination, transparency, accountability, and procedural fairness. The study proposes an algorithmic accountability framework requiring impact assessments, explainability standards, human oversight, independent audits, and effective remedies for affected individuals. Particular attention is given to vulnerable groups who may experience disproportionate consequences from biased datasets or poorly designed systems. The article concludes that Indonesia's AI governance framework should integrate human rights safeguards before algorithmic systems are widely deployed in high-impact public decisions.

Abstract

Large-scale land conversion for plantations, infrastructure, industrial development, and other commercial purposes may affect rural communities whose livelihoods depend on agricultural land. Beyond property disputes, such conflicts may have consequences for food security, livelihood protection, and the right to an adequate standard of living. This article examines the relationship between agrarian conflict and the right to food in Indonesia. Using normative juridical and policy analysis, the study evaluates agrarian regulation, land acquisition, food security policy, and human rights principles. The article argues that land governance should consider the broader livelihood and food-security consequences of land conversion rather than treating disputes exclusively as questions of formal ownership or compensation. The study proposes a rights-based land governance framework incorporating meaningful consultation, livelihood impact assessments, food-security considerations, fair compensation, and accessible remedies. Particular attention is given to rural communities whose dependence on agricultural land may not be adequately reflected in formal land documentation. The article concludes that protecting the right to food requires stronger integration between agrarian policy, development planning, and human rights protection.

Abstract

Climate change increasingly affects Indonesian communities through flooding, coastal erosion, extreme weather, ecosystem degradation, and livelihood disruption. As government policies and corporate activities contribute to climate-related risks, litigation may become an important mechanism for affected communities seeking accountability and protection. This article examines the emerging role of climate litigation in Indonesia from a human rights perspective. Using normative juridical research and comparative legal analysis, the study evaluates constitutional rights, environmental law, state obligations, corporate responsibility, and judicial remedies. The article argues that climate litigation can strengthen accountability when courts interpret environmental protection in conjunction with rights to health, livelihood, housing, and a safe environment. However, effective climate litigation requires accessible standing rules, appropriate evidentiary standards, judicial expertise, and meaningful remedies. The study proposes a rights-based climate litigation framework emphasizing prevention, accountability, restoration, and protection of vulnerable communities. The article concludes that Indonesian courts have the potential to contribute significantly to climate governance by ensuring that public authorities and private actors comply with legal and human rights obligations associated with climate-related harm.
