According to Satjipto RahardjoAos theory of the rule of law, the characteristics of IndonesiaAos rule of law include the integration of the rechtstaat, which prioritizes legal certainty, and the rule of law, which guarantees justice and provides benefits for society.
This describes that legal certainty on the regulation of illegal logging has been stipulated in Law No.
13 of 2018 on the Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction, particularly in Articles 12, 19, 82, and 83.
This law contains definitions, obligations, and prohibitions related to forest utilization, as well as sanctions for illegal logging perpetrators.
Thus, it provides legal certainty to the public regarding what is prohibited and its consequences as well as yields benefits to the society in the form of better environmental protection.
Moreover, legal certainty can provide a sense of justice in the society by ensuring that the law is not only enforced fairly but also yields positive and beneficial results for society and environment.
broader and deeper sense of justice can be felt by all layers of society.
Thus.
Law No.
18 of 2013 on the Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction successfully combines the principles of rechtstaat and rule of law as proposed by Satjipto Rahardjo.
