Kelindan Identitas dan Lingkungan: Perjuangan Masyarakat Awyu Menggapai Keadilan
Abstract
This article begins with a brief reflection on a court decision related to a conflict between the Awyu indigenous community in Papua and an oil palm company. Using a critical review of the court decision, this research reveals that the legal mobilization carried out by the Awyu indigenous community is not solely about identity or the environment. The mobilization should be seen as a class struggle to confront extractive capitalism in Awyu’s customary territory. In response to the struggle, the courts have refused to engage with the discourse of Awyu identity attached to their environment and livelihoods. This refusal demonstrates how indigenous identity can be a stumbling block to state-backed extractive projects. This article argues that the courts’ failure to consider identity as part of the construction of the legal relationship between indigenous peoples and their environment may lead to the failure of environmental law to realize intergenerational justice.
