Anti Corruption Instrument

In many forestry crime cases, corruption approach has just been recently used. Previously, the approach is to look at to what extent this actor does not comply with sectoral regulations on forestry. Sometimes this approach could trap law enforcer  – under law theory of lex specialis derogat legi generali [Special Regulation superlative to General Regulation] – only use administrative sanction for forestry crime [as stated on law No 41/1999 on Forestry]. These circumstances generate heavy challenge to implement anti-corruption laws in handling forestry crime cases.

Moreover, all policy and regulation related to law enforcement on corruption, including law procedure, is presented along with regional and international rules, binding or non-binding regulation. Inclusion of regional and or international regulation is important due to more explicitly forest crime as cross boundary organized crime.
