Green Justice: The Efforts of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia in Preserving the Environment Through the Judge Decision

Lucas Prakoso, Sudarsono Sudarsono, Istislam Istislam, M. Fadli

Abstract


The concept of justice is not only understood as a concept aimed at humans as the subject, but also the environment as a unified system, which ultimately justice is also for humans and the environment itself, both for present and future generations. The principles that develop in relation to environmental protection and management, are formed from global awareness which then become principles that must be adopted in the legal systems of countries that recognize the importance of environmental protection and preservation. The Supreme Court is fully aware of its role in protecting and preserving the environment. Through its regulations and decisions, the Supreme Court seeks to form a unified view of green justice and 'green judges'.
