Environmental Criminal Liability by Corporate Managers in Indonesia Viewed from the Perspective of Justice (Study of Decision Number 9/Pid.B/LH/2021/PN Sak)

Law enforcement against environmental crimes by corporations in Indonesia still faces serious problems, especially related to legal certainty and justice in the criminal liability of corporate administrators. This problem is caused by a legal vacuum regarding the parameters of sanctions, both against the corporate entity and its management. This research aims to analyze law enforcement in cases of environmental crimes by corporate administrators and examine the parameters of criminal liability from the perspective of justice. The method used is normative juridical with a legislative approach and case studies, specifically the Decision of the Siak Sri Indrapura District Court Number 9/Pid.B/LH/2021/PN Sak. The results showed that the application of the law is still inconsistent, because technical guidelines such as the Minister of Environment Regulation Number 7 of 2014 are not binding so that these guidelines are not always used as a reference by judges. In addition, there is still a legal vacuum regarding fair parameters in imposing fines on corporate administrators, which raises serious questions about the fairness of its application. Therefore, it is necessary to revise regulations that establish clear and proportional sanction guidelines for corporate administrators to prevent disparities and ensure legal justice.

Abstract

Law enforcement against environmental crimes by corporations in Indonesia still faces serious problems, especially related to legal certainty and justice in the criminal liability of corporate administrators. This problem is caused by a legal vacuum regarding the parameters of sanctions, both against the corporate entity and its management. This research aims to analyze law enforcement in cases of environmental crimes by corporate administrators and examine the parameters of criminal liability from the perspective of justice. The method used is normative juridical with a legislative approach and case studies, specifically the Decision of the Siak Sri Indrapura District Court Number 9/Pid.B/LH/2021/PN Sak. The results showed that the application of the law is still inconsistent, because technical guidelines such as the Minister of Environment Regulation Number 7 of 2014 are not binding so that these guidelines are not always used as a reference by judges. In addition, there is still a legal vacuum regarding fair parameters in imposing fines on corporate administrators, which raises serious questions about the fairness of its application. Therefore, it is necessary to revise regulations that establish clear and proportional sanction guidelines for corporate administrators to prevent disparities and ensure legal justice.
