Innovation in Legal Pluralism for Resolving Tin Mining Disputes in Batu Beriga: Realizing Regulatory Certainty and Sustainable Ecological Justice

Abstract

The resolution of disputes in tin mining activities in Batu Beriga faces significant complexity due to the overlap of various legal systems, including state law, customary law, and international law. Legal pluralism in this context has the potential to serve as an instrument that accommodates the interest of multiple stakeholders, including local communities, the government, and mining businesses. However, the implementation of legal pluralism in dispute resolution encounters challenges, particularly in ensuring regulatory certainty and achieving sustainable ecological justice. This article aims to analyze the role of legal pluralism in resolving tin mining disputes in Batu Beriga and to explore legal innovations that can support the development of effective sustainability pathways. Using a normative approach, this study examines applicable regulations and dispute resolution practices that have been implemented. The findings of this study are expected to provide policy recommendations that not only guarantee legal certainty but also strengthen environmental protections and justice for affected communities.
