positive and negative impacts in developing countries, such as in Indonesia. The
positive impacts of TNCs may enhance economic growth in Indonesia , on the other
hand, the negative impacts of TNCs may cause environmental pollution and

descritively. The research finds that the role of the environmental organisations in
Indonesia in protecting of human rights as well as performing social justice is
