Legal Protection of Community Social Rights Related to Mining Activities

Abstract

Mining can have a negative impact on the social rights of communities. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the social rights of communities affected by mining activities. This article discusses the protection of community social rights related to mining based on Law no. 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining. Protection can be carried out through planning, monitoring and community participation mechanisms in mining activities. In the context of protecting the social rights of the community, it is important to involve the community in the decision-making process and guarantee the community's right to participate in mining activities. Efforts to protect the social rights of the community will ensure that mining activities not only provide economic benefits, but also pay attention to the social welfare of the community and environmental sustainability.
