STATE RESPONSIBILITY IN CONDUCTING FOREST REFORESTATION BASED ON COURT-IMPOSED FINES AGAINST COMPANIES THAT COMMIT FOREST BURNING

Cakra Tona Parhusip

Abstract


This paper aims to examine the responsibility of the state in carrying out forest reforestation based on court decisions imposing fines on companies that engage in forest burning. The research adopts a normative legal method, using a conceptual approach and a case approach. The study is evaluative in nature, meaning that it sets certain expectations regarding the state’s responsibility in implementing forest reforestation based on court-imposed fines, which are then assessed through evaluation. The state has an obligation to prevent, control, and restore environmental damage, including transboundary environmental harm. Although companies are the primary perpetrators, the state bears derivative responsibility to ensure that environmental restoration is conducted in accordance with global environmental law standards. The polluter pays principle must be integrated with the principle of state responsibility in environmental law, requiring the state to guarantee the effective enforcement of court decisions for the benefit of the environment and affected communities.
