- Mufti Bharti, Campaign and Policy Intervention Manager for Forest Watch Indonesia (“FWI”), is urging the disclosure of information in relation to Right-to-Use permits (“HGU”).
- FWI has previously submitted disputes relating to information disclosure to the Information Commission (Komisi Informasi/KI) and the resulting decisions have often demanded the mandatory disclosure of HGU information. However, to date, disclosures relating to HGU have not been undertaken by the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs (“Minister”).
- Mr. Bharti stated recently that HGU disclosures were aimed at preventing injustices being perpetrated by managers of forest and land. Arman Muhammad, Director of Law Advocacy and Human Rights for the Archipelago Indigenous Peoples Alliance (AMAN), has also expressed his support for the HGU disclosure, which he believes will help to determine whether or not business activities which involve the utilization of areas of forest and land are legitimate.
- Mr. Muhammad stated recently that businesses often engaged in activities without any legitimate underlying reason for the utilization of the relevant areas of land. This has, in turn, often led to losses being incurred by the state due to businesses being able to avoid making any contributions to state revenue. It is therefore expected that the Minister will ultimately comply with the binding court decision and will finally disclose the relevant HGU information in the near future.
