Environmental Disputes in Indonesia Sample Clauses

Environmental Disputes in Indonesia. In a world of diminishing resources, exponential population growth and rapid development, environmental disputes are increasingly common phenomena. Indonesia has proven to be no exception to this global trend. Indeed environmental problems and related conflict in Indonesia have frequently assumed international dimensions. Forest fires of unprecedented scale, uncontrolled logging of old growth rainforest and the environmental fallout from some of the world’s largest mines are just some of the environmental issues that have held the international spotlight in Indonesia. An even more profuse range of environmental controversies frequents the pages of the Indonesian press including the dumping of industrial and hazardous waste, the overexploitation of natural resources, illegal logging in national parks, air pollution in overcrowded cities, flooding and landslides caused by deforestation. Within each of these complex environmental issues is a host of interrelated human disputes involving local communities, companies, local, regional and national government agencies, environmental organisations, security forces and many other parties each with their own views, interests and agenda. Such disputes, if left unresolved, can spiral into wider social conflict and exacerbate environmental degradation. In Indonesia, as in many other countries, effective mechanisms for the resolution of environmental disputes are urgently needed. This thesis, conducted under the auspices of the Indonesia-Netherlands Study on Environmental Law and Administration (INSELA), endeavours to address this need via a thorough documentation and analysis of the practice of environmental dispute resolution in Indonesia. The main question addressed in the thesis is thus: to what extent have the formal (legally prescribed) mechanisms for environmental dispute resolution, that is litigation and mediation, actually been effective in resolving environmental disputes?
