Abstract

A healthy environment is a basic human right that must be guaranteed by the state. Environmental pollution in Indonesia continues to increase along with the development of industrialization and urbanization. Criminal law enforcement is one of the efforts to overcome this problem. This research examines the mechanism of criminal law enforcement against perpetrators of environmental pollution in Indonesia and identifies obstacles and solutions. Using the literature study method, this research finds that despite the existence of strict regulations such as the PPLH Law, law enforcement still faces obstacles such as limited resources, evidentiary complexity, corruption, intervention, and low public legal awareness. Proposed solutions include increasing the capacity of law enforcement officers, cooperation with experts, supervision and transparency, and increasing public legal awareness. Effective criminal law enforcement is expected to create a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable environment.
