preventive and represive efforts for environmental damage through payment ofpollutors

Article 87 paragraph (1) of the uupplh regulates the principle of polluter payment onlycovers aspects of environmental recovery and does not accommodate compensation for victims ofpollution, even though humans are the victims who feel the most damage to the environment. theformulation of the problem of this research is the effort to protect the environment through the principleof polluter payment. this research is a juridical-normative research that uses primary, secondary, andtertiary legal materials that are analyzed using prescriptive methods. efforts that can be made in theoccurrence of environmental damage are preventive and repressive efforts. preventive efforts includerecovery and compensation because they must be done together. while repressive efforts are carried outin two ways, namely non-litigation (including arbitration, negotiation, mediation, and conciliation).whereas the only way is litigation which includes settlement in court, both administrative, civil andcriminal. the uupplh must regulate all of these efforts or at least be clearly linked and make repressiveefforts a second attempt if preventive efforts cannot resolve the problem (carried out in stages).
