Will the Court Annul the Qanun?
One thousand and three hundred pages worth of lawsuit dossiers were flown from Aceh to Jakarta in early October. The papers were carried by Muhammad Nur, director of the Indonesian Environment Forum (Walhi) of Aceh, and his peers Cut Mirna, Syafruddin and Muhammad Syahputra. On October 9, Muhammad Nur delivered documents relating to the lawsuit against Qanun (Bylaw) No.19/2013 on the Aceh spatial plan by to the secretariat of the Supreme Court. "Here's the duplicate," said Nur, showing a pile of documents as thick as a pillow to Tempo.
Walhi alleges that Aceh's new spatial plan violates a number of laws and enable harm to its environment and forests. The plan was greenlighted by the Aceh Legislative Council (DPRA) on December 27, 2013, and enacted on March 3. But Walhi said it conflicted with 11 other laws and several regional regulations. These include Law No.11/2006 on the Aceh Administration and Law No.26/2007 on the National Spatial Layout.
