Abstract

Environmental management in Indonesia has undergone various policy changes, in addition to overlapping interrelated legal regulations. Environmental management in addition to dealing with aspects of nature conservation, is also related to economic aspects, investment, and sustainable development. On the one hand there is an interest in preserving nature and protecting nature as it should be, but on the other hand there is a shift in interests, especially with regard to investment and economic interests. This study aims to analyze the political direction of environmental management law in Indonesia.

Abstract

Indonesia as one of the largest maritime sources face many challenges, one of is illegal fishing. This study aims to analyze the role of international maritime law and its practices on handling illegal fishing in Indonesia. Thisy study found and confirmed that illegal fishing action or action of foreign fishing vessels entering the territorial waters of Indonesia without permits and exploiting the natural wealth in it, would violate the sovereignty of the State of Indonesia. For that there must be a firm law enforcement in the form of catching foreign fishermen and their ships to be processed legally. The capture of foreign fishing vessels may be justified if they are filled with evidence that the fishing vessel is conducting illegal fishing. Associated with the problem of illegal fishing, the effort of a State that suffered losses is also a thing to be reckoned with. Efforts taken by a State in handling cases of illegal fishing must be regulated in a clear regulation. In fact, the efforts taken by a State with a different State.

Abstract

Indonesia is a legal state, in the execution of a judge is an object that is very important for a trial. In Indonesia alone the practice of fraud and manipulation is still common and often encountered in a trial, the duty of a judge who should be neutral and decide a case with as fair as possible can often be manipulated by the bribery process of a suspect. the power of a judge alone is set in the law of the judicial power law number 48 of 2009. There it has been explained everything about the duties and authority of a judge and how to be a just judge and then can put a suspect into a subject rather than a object. Often in finding a judge actually complicates a case that is actually trivial and gives a burdensome decision for the little people and even facilitate a big case with a suspect of important people, a concept that is not denied a thing that we often see in law.

Abstract

Licensing and optimization are regulated in Government Regulation No. 27 of 2014 on the management of state / regional property. Licensing is one of the most important aspects of land management for the legality of tenure, one of the productive activities in it is to make it an agricultural land. Unfortunately, in order to obtain licensing rights to agriculture is difficult to get, one example of the case that occurred is in the area of ​​ungaran Semarang regency. The difficulty of obtaining such permits can certainly lead to unoptimal use of unoccupied vacant land. In addition, the difficulty of licensing for agriculture will cause many losses for both the government and the farmers, such as the unoptimal agricultural activities of the area to be vulnerable to shift the land into non-agricultural functions, it is feared that farmers will be reluctant to bureaucratize the government. This study is expected to contribute to the increasing rules of use and management of deadly state property in the future.

Abstract

The utilization of production forest resources is still oriented towards timber production and land use conflicts, often causing conflicts of interest between local communities and Perhutani as the manager of state-owned forests. The existing environmental conditions are less conducive. This phenomenon also occurs in the Muria Forest Area, so an appropriate management strategy is needed through tenure mapping and an understanding of the socio-cultural dynamics of the local community. Data is based on the results of observations, documentation, interviews, and FGDs. Data and information are analyzed using GIS and SWOT. Data processing and tenure mapping results show a trend of fluctuating decline in the Muria Forest area, especially in the outermost areas of the Muria Forest Area, which are close to settlements. Changes in land use that vary each year can provide an overview of the dynamics of community conditions and the discretion of implementing regulations. Based on the IFAS and EFAS weight and ranking analysis, the internal factor value is positive 0.75, and the external factor is positive 0.58. The results of IFAS and EFAS show that the right strategy is the aggressive type in quadrant 1 (growth-oriented strategy). This study found eleven strategies with two main approaches: first, a strategy with an approach to associative human resources in forest management to accommodate various conflicts that arise; second, an innovative strategy that focuses on the sustainability of forest resources.

Abstract

This article studies the incorporation of environmental concerns in the political campaigns of women candidates within the context of local Indonesian politics. The impacts of environmental problems in coast areas such as Semarang, Demak, Pekalongan, Kendeng mountains, and Wadas Purworejo are serious and pose an overwhelming challenge for women's exacerbated socio-domestic duties. The research is conducted by a normative legal approach through using statutory and implementation frameworks focusing on environmental issues concerning women’s political campaigns in Indonesian local politics, employing content analysis of authoritative books, peer-reviewed journals, on legal advocacy and sustainable development. The findings of the study highlight the stark urban-rural divide where urban candidates were more proactive in pushing sustainable development frameworks. In addition, women who managed to penetrate the legislative milieu exhibited different degrees of engagement with environmental policies; those framed as environmentalists tended to have higher proposed regulation rates. The research shows that most women do not, in campaign rhetoric, grasp the growing public discourse on contestation over policy frameworks at multiple levels—national, regional, and local—and legislative governance approaches that integrate ecological issues and sustainability as a central concern at local and global levels. To address these gaps, the authors argue women politicians need women’s targeted capacity building on environmental legislation that could enhance advocacy for sustainable development at the local level.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyse the urgency of establishing independent institutions in environmental management and protection in Indonesia, especially in dealing with illegal logging and the preservation of endangered animal habitats. Using normative juridical methods as well as conceptual and comparative approaches, this study highlights the weaknesses of the OSS-RBA-based licensing system as well as the weak law enforcement against the exploitation of natural resources. The results of the study show that gaps in the licensing system open opportunities for illegal logging practices that increasingly threaten the sustainability of the ecosystem and cause a decline in the population of endangered animals. Compared to other developed countries, Indonesia does not yet have an independent institution specifically supervising licensing and law enforcement in the environmental sector. This study confirms that policies in Brazil can provide a deterrent effect for illegal logging perpetrators by applying strict sanctions in the form of large fines, asset confiscation, and prison sentences of up to 10 years. The establishment of independent institutions in Indonesia is urgently needed to ensure strict supervision and the application of strict sanctions to protect ecosystems and prevent unsustainable exploitation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the new paradigm of recognizing the environment as a legal subject within Indonesia's legal system and its implications for environmental law enforcement. Driven by the increasingly complex environmental crisis caused by natural resource exploitation, environmental degradation, and climate change, this paradigm introduces an eco-centric approach and the theory of biocentric justice. The concept acknowledges the environment as a legal entity with intrinsic rights to exist, develop, and be restored when damaged. The research employs a normative approach with qualitative analysis methods and comparative studies of countries such as Ecuador, Bolivia, New Zealand and India which have implemented the recognition of the environment as a legal subject. The findings indicate that recognizing the environment as a legal subject in Indonesia requires comprehensive legal reforms, including constitutional amendments, the enactment of specific laws on environmental rights, strengthening law enforcement institutions, and empowering communities. This recognition is expected to enhance environmental law enforcement, establish ecological justice, and promote sustainable development. Therefore, this paradigm not only serves as a solution to the environmental crisis but also reflects Indonesia's commitment to Pancasila values and the sustainability of future generations.

Abstract

Cloud Seeding is a recent scientific discovery on weather modification and alteration that aims to enhance rainfall in addressing drought and climate change issues. However, despite this potent discovery there are several legal issues yet to be addressed in the usage of cloud seeding. Hence, the study examines the legal issue arising from cloud seeding. The study adopts a doctrinal method of study, relying on primary and secondary research material, such as laws, journal articles, internet articles, and other relevant research material. The data obtained were analyzed using a descriptive and analytical method. The study found that cloud seeding is a potential means of curtailing the incidence of drought and desertification caused by climate change arising from harmful industrial and human activities. However, the study also found that several legal issues may arise in utilising cloud seeding, which includes a lack of comprehensive international law regulating cloud Seeding, the inability of the existing laws to address transboundary issues, liability, impose due compliance and sanction of wrong utilising cloud seeding that adversely alter the natural state of the environment. Concerning this the study concludes and recommends that there is a need for a unified global legal framework to ensure the responsible use of cloud seeding and effective regulation.
