The Implementation of Law Enforcement as an Important Note in Environmental Legal Issues

Abstract

The implementation of law enforcement is an important note in environmental legal issues, because from here the community or people who are harmed can make efforts to achieve the main goals of law enforcement, namely justice, benefit and certainty. Law enforcement often experiences deadlock. A big hope from environmental victims is to get justice and benefits in implementing the law. However, in the process, obstacles are often found in the implementation of the law and the complexity of problems in the environment creates a dark point that solving the environment is not easy, and often makes law enforcement agents find dead ends in solving them, whether through administrative, civil or criminal processes. So a new treatment is needed in environmental enforcement that is based on substantial justice by not only relying on rule-based law or a mere statutory approach, but also a legal approach and a conceptual approach. From this research it is concluded that environmental enforcement using a legal approach can achieve perfect justice or what is usually referred to as substantive justice (justice that comes from the conscience of law enforcers).
