Authors

Abstract
There are several cases of corruption that
cause environmental damage, which then result in significant state financial
losses. Compensation payments as additional penalties should be used for
environmental restoration, however, in practice, the compensation paid will go
into the state treasury, and is not necessarily used for environmental
restoration. The purpose of this study is to determine the regulation of the
polluter pays principle in international and national law, and the
environmental restoration costs derived from the payment of compensatory
penalties as a fulfillment of the polluter pays principle. The research method
used in this study is a normative juridical research method, using a statutory
approach. The results of this study indicate that regulatory updates are needed
regarding the allocation of costs related to environmental restoration through
compensatory payments in corruption cases.
