Abstract

Indonesia recognizes the right to a healthy environment, yet explicit constitutional recognition of the right to clean air remains inadequate. This study analyzes the right to clean air in Indonesia through a constitutional justice perspective, emphasizing that environmental protection is not merely a regulatory matter but a manifestation of substantive justice guaranteed by the Constitution. Using normative legal analysis, the article examines the implications of Articles 28H and 33 of the 1945 Constitution and their relationship to the state’s obligation to secure air quality as part of human rights protection. The findings show that although Indonesia has enacted various environmental regulations, including the Environmental Protection and Management Law, the absence of explicit recognition of the right to clean air weakens its justiciability and limits the effectiveness of legal protection. As a result, air quality governance often remains reactive and may produce ecological inequality, particularly affecting vulnerable communities. Strengthening constitutional interpretation to affirm the right to clean air, harmonizing sectoral regulations, and reinforcing state accountability are therefore necessary to realize constitutional justice. The article concludes that recognizing the right to clean air as a constitutionally protected right is essential not only for public health and environmental sustainability, but also for ensuring equitable protection of present and future generations in accordance with Indonesia’s human rights commitments.

Abstract

The National Strategic Project (PSN) is one of the government's efforts to prosper society, although its implementation often causes problems in aspects of administrative authority, risk management, state finances, and the dimension of justice. To comprehensively analyze and integrate the aspects of administrative authority, risk management, state finance, and justice within a complete conceptual framework, particularly in the context of PSN. This research is a normative legal study with a conceptual and legislative approach.  Discretion plays an important role in the implementation of PSN, although it must be carried out within the framework of legislation and the Principles of Good Governance (AUPB) as the basis for legitimacy and testing of administrative actions. In the context of PSN, characterized by high risk, high capital, and high discretion, there is a tension between the need for policy flexibility and the demand for state financial accountability, especially in distinguishing between policy risk and losses due to abuse of authority. Based on the perspective of substantive justice, the assessment of state losses should not rely solely on formal aspects but must also consider good faith, policy objectives, and their benefits to the public. Therefore, this research reconstructs the concept of administrative authority based on risk-based administrative justice, which integrates aspects of administration, state finance, and justice, thereby enabling the realization of a more adaptive, accountable, and substantively just use of authority.

Abstract

The escalating ecological crisis in 2026 demands a fundamental shift in constitutional law paradigms, from anthropocentrism toward ecocentrism. The Indonesian Constitution, particularly Article 28H paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution, still dogmatically positions the environment merely as an object for fulfilling human needs. This paradigm indirectly legitimizes massive exploitation that threatens intergenerational justice. Therefore, this study aims to construct the recognition of Rights of Nature as an independent legal subject through the reactualization of the First, Second, and Fifth Principles of Pancasila to ensure the realization of ecological justice and civilized humanity. This research employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The findings reveal that current environmental law enforcement often experiences stagnation due to the absence of legal personhood for nature, resulting in nature’s inability to exercise legal standing to challenge its own destruction. Through the reactualization of the values of Divinity, Just and Civilized Humanity, and Social Justice, the concept of justice must be interpreted extensively across temporal dimensions (intergenerational) and ontological dimensions (recognizing ecosystem entities). Drawing lessons from Ecuador’s constitutional framework and jurisprudence, the recognition of Rights of Nature in Indonesia may be realized through the Constitutional Court’s evolutionary interpretation of the State Control doctrine under Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, followed by the institutionalization of an ecological guardianship mechanism. This framework would establish absolute constitutional protection to restrain short-term economic exploitation for the sustainability of future ecosystems.
