Keywords:
Absolute Responsibility; Environment; ProofAbstract
Environmental issues in Indonesia continue to be a significant issue requiring serious attention, particularly due to weak law enforcement and low commitment by law enforcement officials to environmental protection. This study aims to analyze the application of the principle of strict liability in resolving environmental disputes based on Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) Number 1 of 2023 concerning Guidelines for Adjudicating Environmental Cases. This study uses a normative legal method with a normative juridical approach through a literature review of relevant laws, doctrines, and court decisions.
The research results indicate that normatively, the issuance of Supreme Court Regulation Number 1 of 2023 is appropriate as a guideline for judges in resolving environmental disputes, as it strengthens the principles of justice and legal certainty. However, in its implementation, this Regulation shifts some of the burden of proof to the victims of pollution, thereby weakening the essence of the principle of strict liability as stipulated in Article 88 of Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management. As a result, victims often struggle to obtain justice due to limited economic capacity and access to scientific evidence.
Thus, it is necessary to reaffirm the application of the principle of absolute responsibility so that it is in line with the principles of progressive law, as well as the commitment of the judiciary to guarantee ecological justice and the protection of the right to a good and healthy environment as part of human rights
