*[Enwl-eng] Omnibus Law
ENWLine
It is with a heavy heart that I must tell you about the rise of this draconian law in my country, Indonesia.
Our government passed a sweeping jobs-creation bill that weakens labor and environmental regulations – posing a huge threat to workers' rights, the environment, and the overall protection of Indigenous Peoples, farmers, and communities in the frontline of the climate crisis.
The Omnibus Law on Job Creation puts the interests of big corporations ahead of the people and our planet. It is alarming that the legislative process was not transparent and took advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent citizen participation. This law is detrimental to people, especially to those who are already marginalized. It is not aligned with Indonesia's human rights obligations under the international human rights law.
The Indonesian government must immediately repeal the Omnibus Law and advance regulations that prioritize handling the pandemic through the principles of a Just Recovery, and focus efforts on the health and welfare of the people, not of businesses.
