Discriminatory legal pluralism: The fragile authority of Sasi as living law in Maluku
This article examines Sasi , a customary governance regime in Central Maluku, Indonesia, that regulates access to terrestrial and marine resources through ritualized closures and openings. While celebrated as cultural heritage and conservation practice, the authority of Sasi remains fragile. Drawing on literature review, field mapping of 44 Negeri (customary villages) and a qualitative multi-scalar case study design guided by a critical-interpret…
Digital Yes‐Men: How to Deal With Sycophantic Military AI
Militaries have increasingly embraced decision‐support AI for targeting and other planning tasks. An emerging risk identified with respect to these models is ‘sycophancy’: the tendency of AI to align their outputs with their user's views or preferences, even if this view is incorrect. This paper offers an initial perspective on sycophantic AI in the military domain, and identifies the different technical, organisational and operational elements a…
Legal Empowering the Saniri: A Pillar of Harmony in Post-Conflict Ambon
Due to the lasting impact of the previous authoritarian system, decentralization has yet to reinstate Ambon's customary law-based governance model fully. However, it was formally acknowledged by the national and Ambon City's regional legislation. This article examines the need to empower Saniri, a quasi-governmental body in a traditional village with close ties to underprivileged groups, in conflict resolution services in Ambon. Data was collecte…
Is wearing these sunglasses an attack? Obligations under IHL related to anti-AI countermeasures
As usage of military artificial intelligence (AI) expands, so will anti-AI countermeasures, known as adversarials. International humanitarian law offers many protections through its obligations in attack, but the nature of adversarials generates ambiguity regarding which party (system user or opponent) should incur attacker responsibilities. This article offers a cognitive framework for legally analyzing adversarials. It explores the technical, t…
Model of a military autonomous device following International Humanitarian Law
In this paper we introduce a computational control framework that can keep AI-driven military autonomous devices operating within the boundaries set by applicable rules of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) related to targeting. We discuss the necessary legal tests and variables, and introduce the structure of a hypothetical IHL-compliant targeting system

The Baku Bae Movement: A Ward against Prolonged Religious Violence in Post-Conflict Ambon
Ethnic and religious plurality is inextricably linked with Ambonese history. The conflict of 1999–2003 disrupted this stability and caused great damage, segregation, and radicalization. Reestablishing peace proved difficult because of complex social, economic, political, and religious factors, and parties struggled to address deep-rooted issues such as intergroup distrust and hatred. The Baku Bae Peace Movement ( gbb ) was an informal movement wi…
The Strategic Role of Lembaga Adat Negeri in the Fulfilment of Victims’ Rights to Reparation in Post-Conflict Ambon
This article demonstrates the strategic position of Lembaga Adat Negeri in the fulfilment of the long-neglected right to reparation of victims in post-conflict Ambon. Lembaga Adat Negeri were chosen as the object of analysis due to their close cultural affiliation with the Ambonese society. Due to the important role that Lembaga Adat Negeri play in local Ambonese governance, it is argued that they can assist in absorbing local aspirations and aid…
