Abstract:
Indonesia as a welfare State is obliged to provide protection to every individual in fulfilling their human rights. For the fulfillment of human rights, the State carries out international relations with countries, especially ASEAN. Transnational corporations have a large role and bargaining power, especially in strategic fields in the economy and technology that can influence the policies of countries in the Era of the ASEAN Economic Community. One of the big challenges facing Indonesia today is the ASEAN Community which is supported by three pillars, namely the ASEAN Political-Security Community, the ASEAN Economic Community, and the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community. The problem that will arise here is how the State is responsible for human rights violations carried out by corporations and how the law is enforced so that corporations' actions can be responsible either in national or international levels. The methodology used in this paper is the study of literature with qualitative analysis. The purpose of this paper is to find out Indonesia's responsibility for human rights violations carried out by corporations. Based on the discussion above, it can be concluded that Indonesia's responsibility in the human rights system is as a duty bearer so that it must respect, protect, fulfill, promote human rights to its people and punish a corporation that violates human rights. Corporate actions that violate human rights can be punished if first formulated in national law and international law as a crime according to the principle of legality.
