Abstract

Development as one of the rights to a better life has forgotten environmental factors. The environment has been damaged by development activities. Environmental damage also results in human rights violations. The construction of the Bener dam using materials from andesite has damaged the environment, resulting in violations of human rights in the village of Wadas. The problem is how to protect and fulfill the right to a good and healthy environment due to the construction of the Bener Dam. The results of the study explain that the construction of the Bener dam has caused conflict and people's resistance to the government, because natural resources such as andesite stones have been exploited, thus destroying the environment where the Wadas people live which results in violations of human rights. The protection and fulfillment of the right to a good and healthy environment through existing laws and regulations has not been able to resolve community demands for rights. Likewise the demand for justice by filing a lawsuit to the court, both the Semarang State Administrative Court and the Supreme Court have also not received justice in accordance with their demands, namely obtaining the right to a good and healthy environment.
