Violation of Article 28H: Healthy Environment that becomes a Step item

This certainly causes a violation of the right to a good and healthy environment and is not in line with Article 28H (1) the 1945 Constitution namely:

"Every person has the right to live in physical and mental prosperity, to have a place to live, and to have a good and healthy environment, and to receive health services." [2]

Guarantee the right to a good and healthy environment as part of human rights. Environmental damage such as air, water and other pollution, has directly violated the rights stipulated by Article 28H (1) the 1945 Constitution, because it has damaged the quality of life of Prosperity, shelter and Public Health.

When environmental damage is polluted, of course this will have a domino effect on many things, such as polluted air due to forest burning for land clearing processes, river water contaminated with mining waste and other factory waste, and soil will lose its fertility which can interfere with the income of the community, especially farmers, these human rights violations have actually been violated at the most basic level. Environmental degradation has directly damaged the quality of life, destroyed public health, and created structural poverty for people who depend on income derived from nature.
