Indonesia's Environmental Laws Punish Corporate Officers for Company Crimes.
The laws in Indonesia regarding corporate criminal liability for environmental offenses are confusing and often punish corporate officers unfairly. These laws fail to distinguish between corporate liability and individual liability, leading to officers being held accountable for crimes they did not commit. This practice is not only ineffective but also goes against theories of corporate criminal liability. Corporate officers should only be held criminally liable if they are personally responsible for an environmental crime committed by the corporation.
