Disclosure of Information on Environmental Documents in Supporting the Role of Public Monitoring

Abstract
The role of the community is very important in realizing the fulfillment of the right to a good and healthy environment for everyone as part of human rights. The lack of awareness of the disclosure of information on environmental documents to the public in conducting surveillance of activities or businesses that have an important impact on the environment is one of the many violations of environmental law that results in environmental damage and pollution. This paper seeks to examine the importance of information disclosure on environmental documents in supporting the role of community oversight of activities that have an important impact on the environment. The research method used is a normative legal research method with the statutory approach and conceptual approach. The conclusion of this paper discovered that disclosure of information on environmental documents is important as an effort to optimize the role of public monitoring. Environmental documents are used as a guide for detailed information related to compliance with the implementation of activity on its terms and obligations. This disclosure information must be seen as the implementation of the right to access information in support of the implementation of community responsibility for guaranteeing and fulfilling the rights of everyone to a good and healthy environment as a human right so that environmental damage and pollution from activities that are illegal and/or violate their environmental permits can be controlled and prevented.
