Abstract

The amendment of the 1945 Constitution which was conducted in four stages in 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 is crucial. The revision of the 1945 Constitution explicitly not just changed the constitutional system and the mechanism of democracy in Indonesia but also fulfilling the protection of human rights. This paper will collect and examine water and food rights as shown at the Indonesian Constitution after 1999-2002 amendments. Moreover, this paper compares the rights in international perspectives and Indonesia especially based on the Indonesian Constitutional Court Decision.
