Reclamation Obligations for Permit Holders in the Mining Sector

The need for mineral materials for human life continues to increase. In order to realize the management of natural resources (mining materials) based on justice and sustainability, permits can be granted to companies. Of course, the issuance of permits includes supervision and law enforcement. One of the obligations of mining companies is to carry out reclamation. The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources is optimistic that the enactment of Law Number 3 of 2020 concerning Amendments to Law Number 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining will be able to encourage more effective fulfillment of ex-mine reclamation obligations. However, in reality, the Mining Advocacy Network (Jatam) noted that in 2020 there were 3,092 mine pits that were not reclaimed in Indonesia. Article 161 B paragraph (1) of Law Number 3 of 2020 concerning Amendments to Law Number 4 of 2009 concerning Minerba determines criminal penalties for companies that do not carry out reclamation. On the other hand, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 7 of 2014 concerning Reclamation and Post-mining Implementation in Mineral and Coal Mining Business Activities, allows ex-mining pits to be converted. The problem in this paper is that the 2 (two) provisions seem contradictory. This will be examined from the aspect of the formation of laws and regulations which is the embodiment of the pure legal theory of Hans Kelsen. Using a statutory approach and analyzed qualitatively.

Obligations of Forest Borrow-Use Permit Holders for the Construction of the Batang-Semarang Toll Road: The Upstreaming Environmental Sustainability Policy

The resolution of problems arising from the failure to carry out the obligations of the Borrowing and Use of Forest Area (IPPKH) Permit for the Construction of the Batang - Semarang Toll Road is fully supervised and managed by Perum Perhutani under the direct leadership of the ministry. This type of research is sociological juridical using a qualitative approach method. The primary data sources of this study were obtained from the first source with the interview method and the secondary data sources were obtained through literature studies which were then analyzed by collecting data, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of this study indicate that, (1) the implementation of the fulfillment of obligations by the license holder has not been fully fulfilled, of the 14 new obligations are fulfilled 6, while in the agreement and Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia Number P.50 / Menlhk / Setjen / Kum.1 / 6/2016 Regarding the Borrowing and Use of Forest Area Guidelines, the obligations that must be fulfilled by the permit holder are explained. (2) the resolution of problems arising from the non-compliance of the permit holder's obligations is that Perum Perhutani as the forest manager has given 2 (two) warnings regarding the non-fulfillment of the permit holder's obligations through approval from the ministry.

Hanging On by a Thread: The Case of Migrant Teachers Holding Zimbabwean Exemption Permits in South Africa

This paper drew from a qualitative study on the experiences of Zimbabwean migrant teachers in South Africa. Using the interpretivist paradigm, the author interrogates the experiences of Zimbabwean migrant teachers who hold the Zimbabwe Exemption Permit. The author relies on the theory of migration by seminal scholar Everett Lee for a theoretical lens. The study was carried out within the context of respite1 for Zimbabwe Exemption Permits holders. The respite for Zimbabwe Exemption Permit holders was to terminate on 31 December 2022. Narrative interviews were carried out with ten purposively selected participants. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. The study suggested that Zimbabwean migrant teachers were struggling to transfer to mainstream visas after the non-extension of the special visas they were holding (critical skill visas, general work visas). Due to these struggles, there was a shared view among the participants that after 31 December 2022 they would become undocumented. This was expected to change the lives of previously documented migrants. The impending fate of the Zimbabwe Exemption Permit holders led to the conclusion that their lives were hanging on by a thread. The author recommends that the fate of the documentation for Zimbabwean migrant teachers in South Africa be reassessed in terms of permanent residency status.

“It’s a Big Umbrella”

This article questions the dominant narrative that considers displaced persons as victims, powerless, and lacking agency to shape their individual and collective conditions. Based on an ethnographic study of largely Zimbabwe Exemption Permit holders living in Johannesburg, the article argues that Pentecostalism offers an alternate worldview that draws on religious beliefs and practices to express triumph over everyday adversities and vicissitudes of forced mobility. The article concludes that such beliefs and practices embolden and espouse individual and collective agency among “born-again” migrants, as they mobilize religious social networks for individuals to make sense of the uncertainties engendered by displacement.

Overview of recent cases before the Court of Justice of the European Union (November 2020-March 2021)

In this reporting period (November 2020-March 2021), five cases will be presented. The first case is INPS v WS (C-302/19), dealing with the Italian legislation that excludes Single Permit holders from receiving family benefits for their family members residing in a third country. In the second report, two cases rendered on the same day by the Grand Chamber of the Court are discussed. In D.J. v Radiotelevizija Slovenija (C-344/19) and RJ v Stadt Offenbach am Main (C-580/19), the Court clarified the circumstances under which periods of stand-by time could be considered as ‘working time’ or, alternatively, ‘rest periods’ under Directive 2003/88. XI v Caisse pour l’avenir des enfants (C-129/20) is the third case reported. It concerns an interpretation of the Framework Agreement on parental leave in the light of the Luxembourg legislation, which requires parents to be employed at the time of their child’s birth to benefit from parental leave. Finally, the case report ends with VL v Szpital Kliniczny im. dra J. Babińskiego Samodzielny Publiczny Zakład Opieki Zdrowotnej w Krakowie (C-16/19), a case of discrimination on grounds of disability.

E-GOVERNMENT IN OPTIMIZING NON-TAX REVENUE OF THE MINING SECTOR IN INDONESIA

This research purpose to analyze the strategic and technical to encourage the potential of Regional Contribution of Non-Tax State Revenues (PNBP) of the mining sector is still not optimal in Indonesia given the existing number of inhibiting factors, such as corruption loophole, non-compliance, and inefficiency throughout the mining cycle. Whereas, several demands have raised by the community in mining governance, such as better government services, the need for flexibility and accuracy in formulating policies, and the need for improving the information technology of the PNBP management system. Based on the literature review using centralization and decentralization theory, two conclusions are produced. First, PNBP governance in the mining sector has not implemented e-government in integrating the central government, regional/local governments, Mining Business Permit holders, and competence stakeholders. Second, the e-government implementation should reflect public participation, transparency, and accountability at every stage of mining activities in overcoming the supervision weaknesses and the existing regulatory gaps that have caused the non-optimal of PNBP of the mining sector.

An Overview of World-Wide Master Key for Drug Safety Monitoring (Pharmacovigilance) and Its Role in India

Pharmacovigilance (PV) described as science & actions connecting to the identification, evaluation, awareness, & mitigation of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) or associated conditions. Some serious cases of ADR contributed to the development of this discipline in the 1970s. There have been many efforts to establish such a programme in India between 1989-2004, but the system has finally begun in 2010 and is functioning successfully and achieving meaningful results. Based on the data gathered via this method, Pharmacovigilance Program of India (PvPI) contributed various data to the World Health Organization (WHO) Uppsala Monitoring Centre (UMC). They also issued some warnings to the stakeholder and made a range of suggestions to the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO). CDSCO has also advised Marketing Permit Holders (MAHs) to comply with the same requirements and has introduced relevant changes to the Drugs and Cosmetics Act & Regulations. The time has arrived when Indian regulatory authorities would undertake the requisite action on the basis of data produced in our country rather than on the basis of data generated in several other countries

During the Coronavirus pandemic, the number of concealed handgun permits has soared to over 21.52 million – a 48% increase since 2016. It’s also a 10.5% increase over the number of permits we counted a year ago in 2020. Unlike gun ownership surveys that may be affected by people’s unwillingness to answer personal questions, concealed handgun permit data is the only really “hard data” that we have. This increase occurred despite 21 Constitutional Carry states that no longer provide data on all those legally carrying a concealed handgun because people in those states no longer need a permit to carry.These numbers are particularly topical given that the U.S. Supreme Court will hear the concealed carry case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association V. Corlett in November. That case will determine whether those requesting permits need to provide a “proper cause,” which means a good reason for obtaining a permit.

Does the disclosure of gun ownership affect crime? Evidence from New York

While the social costs of gun violence are high, opponents of gun restrictions argue that gun ownership deters crime and creates a positive externality by increasing unobserved risk to criminals. This paper investigates the evidence for these two deterrence channels, exploiting the sudden disclosure of all handgun permit holders' names and addresses in two New York counties. Permit holders have more crime incidents at their homes relative to non-permit holders in the baseline, which is not driven by selection into neighborhoods. I find little evidence in favor of direct deterrence, and little evidence of peer deterrence. Instead, I find that victimization is associated with a higher likelihood of future gun ownership.

Developing an efficient protocol for monitoring eagle fatalities at wind energy facilities.

Researchers typically conduct fatality monitoring to determine a wind energy facility’s direct impacts on wildlife. In the United States, wind energy impacts on eagles have received increased attention in recent years because eagle incidental take permits became available. Permit holders are required to conduct fatality monitoring to evaluate compliance with permitted eagle take. Our objective was to develop an efficient eagle fatality monitoring protocol with a quantifiable detection probability based on a stationary scanning search method. We conducted scanning searches for eagle carcasses at four wind energy facilities. We estimated searcher efficiency of the scanning search method using feathered turkey decoys as eagle carcass surrogates, used publicly available data on large raptor carcass distances from turbines to evaluate the proportion of carcasses expected to occur in searched areas, and estimated carcass persistence rates for game birds and raptors. These three bias adjustments were combined to estimate the overall probability of detection for the scanning search method. We found generally high searcher efficiency for the scanning search method, with 76% of decoys detected; however, detection decreased with distance and difficulty of visibility class. Mean carcass persistence time varied between 28 and 76 days for raptors and between three and nine days for game birds, showing that game birds do not persist as long as raptors. We estimated that 95% of large avian carcasses fall within 100 m of turbine bases, and 99% fall within 150 m. Using these estimates and assuming a 30-day search interval for all facility turbines, we estimated that the probability of detecting a large raptor carcass using the scanning search method at a wind facility ranged from 0.50 to 0.69. Our research suggests a monitoring program that uses scanning searches can be a cost-effective approach for gathering data necessary to meet incidental eagle take permit requirements.

Heartrending or Uplifting: The Ethiopian Urban Land Tenure System Reform and Its Reflection on Tenure Security of Permit Holders

In this article, I reflect on the implication of the urban land tenure systems of the three political regimes of Ethiopia on the objective element of land tenure security of urban landholders, particularly, permit holders. The objective element of land tenure security can be assessed in terms of clarity and breadth, duration, assurance, and enforceability of land rights. On these foundations, I argue that the objective element of tenure security of urban landholders in Ethiopia has been reduced with each subsequent regime. The Imperial regime’s urban land tenure system affected the objective land tenure security of urban landholders in terms of enforceability of land rights—particularly limiting the right to appeal to a presumably independent court of law with regard to the amount of compensation awarded for the loss of land rights through expropriation. The Derg regime’s urban land tenure system, on the other hand, had narrowed the breadth of land rights to possessory right; it introduced other grounds in addition to expropriation, by which a landholder could lose his land rights, it adopted a vague and broad understanding of “public purpose” for expropriation, and it introduced a compensation scheme that left a landholder compensated inadequately; and it totally prohibited bringing a legal action in presumably an independent court of law against the government. Even more, the post-1991 urban land tenure system has perpetuated the objective land tenure insecurity of permit holders by making the land rights unclear until the enactment of regulation; and to be valid for a definite period of time by mandatorily demanding its conversion to lease system.
