FOREST LAW ENFORCEMENT GOVERNANCE AND TRADE – VOLUNTARY PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT SEBAGAI INSTRUMEN UNI EROPA DALAM MENGONTROL PERDAGANGAN KAYU DI INDONESIA

*55 This paper explains the EU's efforts to combat illegal logging in Indonesia
through an international regime such as Forest Law Enforcement Governance
and Trade - Voluntary Partnership Agreement. International regime that was
initiated by the European Union is ratified by Indonesia in 2007. After the
FLEGT-VPA began to be implemented in 2013 in Indonesia, began to appear the
evidence that led to the EU's efforts to control the timber trade in Indonesia using
instruments FLEGT-VPA. The emergence of an effort to control this raises doubts
about the EU's concern for environmental issues.
ABSTRAK
Paper ini mengeksplanasikan mengenai upaya Uni Eropa untuk
memberantas illegal logging di Indonesia melalui sebuah rezim internasional
berupa Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade - Voluntary Partnership
Agreement. Rezim internasional yang digagas oleh Uni Eropa ini diratifikasi
Indonesia pada tahun 2007. Setelah FLEGT-VPA mulai diimplementasikan pada
tahun 2013 di Indonesia, mulai muncul adanya bukti-bukti yang mengarah pada
upaya Uni Eropa mengontrol perdagangan kayu di Indonesia menggunakan
instrumen FLEGT-VPA. Munculnya upaya pengontrolan ini menimbulkan
keraguan mengenai kepedulian Uni Eropa terhadap isu lingkungan hidup.
