Ultimatum lacks enforcement, enabling continued harm to health and ecosystems. | The ultimatum by Forkopimda Aceh represents a positive institutional step to curb illegal mining and hazardous practices, aligning with SDGs 3, 6, 12, 13, 14, and 15. However, the lack of immediate enforcement and historical non-compliance undermine its efficacy, creating a net ethical tension. The systemic harm to health and ecosystems outweighs the symbolic value of the declaration.
