The Government of Indonesia grants special autonomy to Papua Province based on Law No. 21 of 2001. Special Autonomy is expected to resolve political, legal, environmental, economic, social and cultural issues. However, the special autonomy granted resulted in misunderstandings, so that development was hampered. This study aims to develop an understanding of special autonomy as one of the concepts of human rights and environmental development in Papua. This study used a juridical-qualitative analysis method. The data were obtained using observation and literature study of the problems and a clear picture of special autonomy. Data analysis uses interpretation and evaluation models of existing regulations and concepts to sharpen the understanding of special autonomy at the maximum level of data abstraction. Data were analyzed using a deductive logic method based on secondary norms, theories, and doctrines. The study results indicate that special autonomy for the Papua Province is envrionemtal development and human right in internal selfdetermination, which is constitutionally guaranteed in the 1945 Constitution. Therefore, the Papuan people and the government can develop activities based on special autonomy without central approval and do not conflict with laws and regulations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
