 It is promising to develop well-founded recommendations for improving the efficiency of the existing system of scientific institutions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Securing Autonomy of Military Barracks Through Renewable Energy Solutions

Abstract This article presents a concept of establishing a network of energy self-sufficient nodes in Slovenia and the EU, within the Defence RESilience Hub Network in Europe project initiated by the Ministry of Defence of Slovenia (MORS). The goal is to reduce the energy dependence of military facilities on external suppliers. A mathematical model of a military site’s micro-grid incorporates multiple energy vectors and their conversion and storage, with a focus on hydrogen technologies. A case study of a military site in Belgium shows that an energy system with solar and wind power can provide sufficient hydrogen for transportation needs and operate the site autonomously for up to 30 days. Additionally, the carbon footprint of the military base as an energy system was calculated, indicating potential reductions in environmental impacts.

World Practice of Applying State Support Measures for Organizations of the Military-Industrial Complex

The article is devoted to an analytical review of the best global practices in the implementation of measures of state support for organizations of the military-industrial complex (MIC). The purpose of the research was to study international experience in this area and determine its applicability in the context of the development of the Russian Federation’s MIC. The relevance of this work is determined by the need to ensure the solution of operational and strategic tasks of the Russian Federation’s military-industrial complex in the conditions of sanctions pressure from certain countries and the importance of assessing the available measures of state support for organizations of the complex. The study analyses the American Defense Manufacturing Community Support Program, which has been implemented in the United States since 2019. The program is based on the development of cooperation between public and private organizations, including enterprises of the military-industrial complex, scientific organizations, as well as local governments. The structure of the program provides for the formation of a community that brings together stakeholders to ensure sustainable development and competitiveness of the defense industrial complex. As part of the study of European experience, the activities of The European Defense Fund, established in the European Union in 2021 on the initiative of the Commission for the Support of Defense Cooperation of the European Union, were examined. The fund is focused on supporting and developing the European defense-industrial complex by financing innovative research, development and joint projects of international importance. The main objectives of the fund include increasing autonomy and competitiveness in the defense industry, as well as promoting integration and cooperation between the member states of the European Union. Within the framework of the article, each practice was analyzed, and conclusions have been drawn about what ideas from international practice could be applied in the development of the defense-industrial complex of the Russian Federation. The results of the study can be used by the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, the Government of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Foundation for Advanced Studies and other state structures and organizations that determine the policy in the field of defense industry regulation as proposals for further development of state support measures in the Russian Federation.

Odin iz glavnyh tvorcov Velikoj Pobedy (maloizvestnye fakty biografii Marshala Sovetskogo Soyuza I.H. Bagramyana)

This article, based on the detailed study of various sources, including the funds of the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Belarussian State Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War, presents little-known facts of the life of one of the main creators of the Great Victory over German Nazism, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, Marshal of the Soviet Union Ivan Khristophorovich Bagramyan. Particular attention in the research is paid to his ties with the Belorussian SSR.

The phenomenon of the Z-Telegram in the coverage of events in Ukraine

The purpose of the study is to identify and describe the phenomenon of Z-Telegram channels against the background of the general state of the information field with the theme of a special military operation. The subject of the study is the image of a politician or authority formed by Z-channels. The authors focus on the concept of Z-channels, the features of their content, as well as the factors of the appearance of these channels. The key features of the Z-channels were the concentration on combat operations, the assessment of the politician through the prism of combat operations and criticism of the command and authorities. The differences between Z-channels and traditional media are studied in detail. The prospects for the formation of political communities based on Z-channels are considered. The article analyzes the reasons for the popularity of Z-channels and their role in covering a special military operation. The article examines the influence of the personality of the author of the channel on the attitude towards the key actors of the special military operation. Special attention is paid to the differences in the subject of the channels. The method used was the method of content analysis of the collected material, which includes posts in these most famous Z-channels during the winter of 2022-2023. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the study of the phenomenon of Z-channels in the Telegram as an alternative to traditional media, as well as the consideration of Z-channels as a prototype for the formation of a new type of political opposition to the current political system. The results of the study, presented as conclusions, showed that Z-channels can form a common agenda independently of each other, while having similar views. So, all channels broadcast a negative image to the official representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, and at the same time broadcast a moderately positive image to Prigozhin. This allows us to conclude that for a number of reasons discussed in the study, Z-channels on the Telegram social network can form and broadcast their own agenda, including one that differs from the official one, and also have a very large audience.

NATO Ministries of Defense and Transparency of Job Roles of Civilian Personnel: Openness or Secrecy?

ABSTRACT The transparency of the job roles of civilian personnel has emerged as an important aspect to consider in the framework of the transformation of the ministries or departments of defense in NATO member countries, but also in non-NATO countries. Acknowledged internationally as significant to successful and democratic policy-making, defense ministries are expected to ensure an increased openness toward the public. This article concentrates on the job roles of civilian personnel of the defense ministries and the regulation of the level of their transparency. The assumption was to see a large presence of transparency practices in the defense ministries. While the overwhelming pattern is that there is some transparency provided of job roles, in many of countries researched it is seen that the job roles of the civilian personnel of the defense ministries are not public. It is found that the transparency practices reflect different legal systems and defense characteristics.

Kedudukan Menteri Triumvirat Dalam Ketatanegaraan Indonesia

The Triumvirate Ministers are the three ministers namely the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Home Affairs, and Minister of Defense who are said to be carrying out presidential duties if the President and Vice President resign in the middle of their term of office simultaneously. This is stated in the mandate of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia as the basis for implementing statutory regulations. This writing aims to explore the issues raised in this study, namely, the position of the Minister of the Triumvirate in the Indonesian constitution and legal settlement in the event of a dispute in the formation of the three Ministers of the Triumvirate. In this study the authors used the normative juridical method. The results of this study are that the position of the minister of the Triumvirate is confirmed in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia Article 8 paragraph (3), but it is not clarified by other laws and regulations, so that his position is not standardized by law. And also if there is a dispute within the Triumvirate Ministers, the resolution is that the Constitutional Court has the duty and authority to resolve disputes between the Triumvirate ministers regarding who has the most authority to fill presidential duties.

A review of recent situation and technical issues of aircraft noise monitoring

More than 13 years have passed since the ISO 20906:2009 for unattended monitoring of aircraft sound was published. In recent year, data processing technology has rapidly advanced. In order to consider whether there is any discrepancy between the contents of ISO 20906 and the recent situation of aircraft noise monitoring, published information on aircraft noise monitoring and organized the actual situation was collected. In Japan, aircraft noise measurements has been carried out around airports and airfields nationwide as the achievement status survey of "Environmental Quality Standards for Aircraft Noise." Unattended monitoring through the year or short-term measurements have been carried out by local authorities every year. Annual report of the achievement status survey of Environmental Quality Standards for Aircraft Noise has been published every year. On the other, some airport authorities and Japan Ministry of Defense conduct aircraft noise monitoring around airports or airfields and publish the measurement results. Additionally, many overseas airport authorities have been conducting aircraft noise monitoring and publishing the measurement results. This paper introduces the recent status and technical issues of aircraft noise monitoring in Japan and other region. In addition, it discusses on some discrepancy between ISO 20906 and the recent situation of aircraft noise monitoring.

ANALYSIS OF THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION MECHANISM OF THE TRIUMVIRATE MINISTER AS THE EXECUTOR OF PRESIDENTIAL DUTIES IN INDONESIA

The 1945 Constitution regulates the position of triumvirate ministers, including the Minister of Home Affairs, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Minister of Defense, collectively empowered to replace the president and vice president in case of a vacancy. The exercise of this authority increases the likelihood of disputes among the three ministers while performing presidential duties in Indonesia. The conflicting implications of the triumvirate minister position and its assumed powers stem from the diverse backgrounds of the three different institutions. Therefore, a clear mechanism is necessary for resolving conflicts among triumvirate ministers. This study employs normative legal research methods with a statutory law approach, utilizing primary legal material and secondary legal materials such as books and journals. The findings reveal that the dispute resolution mechanism for triumvirate ministries is fundamentally within the purview of the Constitutional Court, as affirmed by the Constitution. However, a lack of detailed derivative regulations has led to a blur in norms related to the interpretation of state institutions outlined in the Constitution. This gap arises due to the absence of regulations that provide a comprehensive explanation of these state institutions.

Human rights and corruption as manifestation of their violation

This article examines the state of implementation and compliance with generally recognized legal principles and norms of international law in the field of fundamental human rights

 and freedoms in Ukraine. It is noted that human rights should be understood as the defining principles of a person’s legal status, which belong to them from birth, are natural and inalienable, without which a person cannot exist as a full-fledged social being, and therefore they are a necessary element of citizens, society and the rule of law. The concept of human rights is based on two basic values – human dignity and equality. Human rights are defined and formalized primarily by international law, which includes a number of basic international legal acts, such as: Universal Declaration of Human Rights; European Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and its protocols; Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Ukraine, which noted its further development in the direction of integration into the EU, formalized the rights of its citizens in the Constitution adopted in 1996, which enshrines a whole series of both traditional and new guarantees of human and citizen rights and freedoms, which allow each citizen to choose the type of his behavior, to use economic and socio-political freedoms and social benefits both in personal and public interests. It is emphasized that the establishment of human rights in Ukraine as the highest social value is complicated by a number of factors, which is mainly determined by the low legal culture of both the general public and civil servants and is confirmed by the fact that for many years Ukraine occupied one of the first places among the member states of the Council of Europe by the number of cases of violation of citizens’ rights that were pending in the European Court. This indicates the existing problems in the state regarding legal education, legal awareness, legal culture, etc. of citizens who are primarily in public authorities, and which manifests itself in the manifestation of corruption, as legal nihilism of citizens. This becomes particularly cynical during the period of fighting against Russian aggression, as evidenced by numerous reports in the mass media. Such manifestations of corruption scandals in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, in civil-military administrations, in local self-government bodies, in other state bodies of the country testify to the presence of a deep political and legal crisis in the state administration bodies of the country, as a result of the lack of program documents on the implementation of state personnel policy, inactivity legal mechanisms to fight corruption. Even the Law of Ukraine “On De-Oligarchization” was subjected to devastating criticism not only from the Ukrainian public, but also from the “Western” community. Confirmation of the relevance and importance of the need to solve the problem of corruption in Ukraine is evidenced by the fact that our ally the USA put forward clear conditions for further support of Ukraine in its fight against aggression and aspiration to join the European Union. The future success of Ukraine depends on accelerating the pace of reforms that remain unimplemented and the immediate implementation of identified priority transformations in Ukraine.

Techno-Prevention in Counterterrorism: Between Countering Crime and Human Rights Protection

Terrorism has become a significant concern throughout the world. This concern is supported by the increasing use of the internet, which has triggered an increase in cyberattacks. This research aims to determine the role of governance in counter-cyber terrorism. The normative legal methodology utilized in this study results from an exhaustive literature evaluation. This research shows that the government's role is needed to counter cyber terrorism. Although the Indonesian government has initiated a national cybersecurity strategy and implemented short-term and long-term programs, some obstacles and challenges hinder its implementation. The ITE Law has encouraged Indonesia to establish policies and regulations regarding information security. There have yet to be any regulations regarding cyber-attacks to counter cyber terrorism. Various institutions with common interests in national defense and security, including the cyber domain, must collaborate with BSSN. Other government agencies that depend on each other include the TNI, Polri, Ministry of Defense, BIN, and Ministry of Communication and Information. Apart from that, governance is also needed, including international organizations, several non-governmental organizations (NGOs), government and private governance, and several other components.Â

Periodontitis: causes, conditions of occurrence and prevention

OBJECTIVE. Analyze the causes and conditions for chronic generalized periodontitis, study means of preventive health care through individual oral hygiene.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study analyzed the scientific literature, devoted to casual factors and conditions of developing chronic generalized periodontitis, its influence on the health of the body and as well as the role of oral hygiene in preventing its onset and progression. Articles in leading domestic dental peer-reviewed publications along with data sources from Pubmed over the past 5 years were analyzed.
 RESULTS. The literature analysis found that majority of authors acknowledge microbial biofilm microbiota of the oral cavity as the leading etiological factor of periodontitis; such factors as poor oral hygiene, endogenous and exogenous erythrocyte sorption overload, the impact of physical environmental factors – external electromagnetic fields and vibrations affect the progression of the disease. Meanwhile, measures of professional oral hygiene и normalization of individual oral hygiene allows to significantly reduce the risk of emerging and progressing chronic generalized periodontitis.
 DISCUSSION. By category visits patients, suffering from CGP, were distributed as follows: 61,6 ± 0,7 % people – retirees of Russian Defense Ministry, 16,5 ± 0,5 % people – family members of military men and retired of RDM, 16,3 ± 0,5 % – military men, attached to the dentistry clinic of RDM military units and institutions, 5,7 ± 0,3 % – RMD cadets. Means of individual oral hygiene, relevant for the prevention of periodontitis, include about 15 items. Part of them are classified as traditional, and the proper application of some of them requires additional training, including in the framework of special medical training during hygiene education work and health promotion. The authors came to a conclusion about the expediency of increasing the number of dentists to intensify the prevention of dental caries and periodontal diseases among military men through professionally monitored oral hygiene.
 CONCLUSION. The high prevalence and intensity of dental system diseases among military men shows the relevance of regular sanitation of their oral cavity. Systematic implementation of individual oral hygiene measures decreases the number of bacteria in the mouth, prevents the development of severe overall body response to inflammation, contributes to a significant reduction in the number of exacerbation of concomitant somatic diseases that improves overall health and people’s quality of life. Professionally monitored oral hygiene, oral hygiene education and motivation for applying modern hygiene products are considered as the basis of oral disease prevention.

Democratic Control of the Defence Sector in Ukraine

Ukraine has declared membership in the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as its goal. One of the prerequisites for joining both organizations is the stability of institutions that guarantee, among other things, democracy and the rule of law. For Ukraine, exercising effective democratic control is a crucial issue of civil-military relations. The article analyzes individual words, phrases, and terms defining democratic control of the security and defence sector. Due to the method of synthesis, the elaborated material is generalized. The article's results are also based on the author's experience in the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine and cooperation with foreign advisers who provided advisory assistance to the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine. The article considers democratic control as a problem of democratic governance of the defence sector. It is concluded that democratic defence governance allows for responsive, transparent decision-making, policy development, and policy implementation in a manner, which reinforces democratic control.

Reciprocal Human-Machine Learning: A Theory and an Instantiation for the Case of Message Classification

There is growing agreement among researchers and developers that in certain machine-learning (ML) tasks, it may be advantageous to keep a “human in the loop” rather than rely on fully autonomous systems. Continual human involvement can mitigate machine bias and performance deterioration while enabling humans to continue learning from insights derived by ML. Yet a microlevel theory that effectively facilitates joint and continual learning in both humans and machines is still lacking. To address this need, we adopt a design science approach and build on theories of human reciprocal learning to develop an abstract configuration for reciprocal human-ML (RHML) in the context of text message classification. This configuration supports learning cycles between humans and machines who repeatedly exchange feedback regarding a classification task and adjust their knowledge representations accordingly. Our configuration is instantiated in Fusion, a novel technology artifact. Fusion is developed iteratively in two case studies of cybersecurity forums (drug trafficking and hacker attacks), in which domain experts and ML models jointly learn to classify textual messages. In the final stage, we conducted two experiments of the RHML configuration to gauge both human and machine learning processes over eight learning cycles. Generalizing our insights, we provide formal design principles for the development of systems to support RHML. This paper was accepted by D. J. Wu, special issue on the human-algorithm connection.

Protecting healthcare workers and patients during the COVID-19 pandemic: a comparison of baseline and follow-up infection prevention and control needs in Nigerian military healthcare facilities delivering HIV services

BackgroundProtecting the HIV health workforce is critical for continuity of services for people living with HIV, particularly during a pandemic. Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, the Nigerian Ministry of Defence, in partnership with the US Military HIV Research Program, took steps to improve infection prevention and control (IPC) practices among staff working in select PEPFAR-supported Nigerian military health facilities.MethodsWe identified a set of IPC activities a priori for implementation at four Nigerian military hospitals in HIV and related departments in early 2021, including continuous medical masking, physical distancing, placement of additional hand washing stations and hand sanitizers throughout facilities, and training. We fine-tuned planned intervention activities through a baseline needs assessment conducted in December 2020 that covered eight IPC components: ‘IPC program structure, funding and leadership engagement’; ‘IPC policies, guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOPs)’; ‘infrastructure’; ‘triage and screening’; ‘training, knowledge and practice’; ‘personal protective equipment (PPE) materials, availability and adequacy’; ‘biosafety and waste management’; and ‘monitoring and remediation’ prior to implementation. Baseline results were compared with those of a follow up assessment administered in August 2021, following intervention implementation.ResultsIPC readiness remained high at both baseline and follow-up assessments for ‘IPC guidelines, policies, and SOPs’ (96.7%). The components ‘infrastructure’ and ‘monitoring and remediation’, which needed improvement at baseline, saw modest improvements at follow-up, by 2% and 7.5%, respectively. At follow-up, declines from high scoring at baseline were seen in ‘IPC program structure, funding and leadership engagement’, ‘training, knowledge and practice’, and ‘biosafety and waste management’. ‘PPE materials availability and adequacy’ improved to 88.9% at follow-up. Although unidirectional client flow was newly implemented, the score for ‘triage and screening’ did not change from baseline to follow-up (73%).ConclusionVariability in IPC component readiness and across facilities highlights the importance of building resilience and employing a quality improvement approach to IPC that includes regular monitoring, re-assessment and re-training at set intervals. Results can be used to encourage solutions-oriented dialogue between staff and leadership, determine needs and implement action plans to protect staff and people with HIV.

Assessment of the FIDES Guide 2022 electrical, electronic, and electromechanical reliability prediction methodology

The FIDES Guide is a reliability prediction handbook published by a group of European defense and aerospace manufacturers under the supervision of the French Ministry of Defense. This paper evaluates the suitability of FIDES for predicting reliability. The evaluation is based on the fitness of the model used in FIDES for calculating the failure rate and the accuracy of its reliability predictions. The assessment makes use of the questionnaire in the IEEE Standard 1413, “IEEE Standard Framework for Reliability Prediction of Hardware.” The foundation of FIDES on the erroneous assumption of a constant failure rate for electronics, its omission of critical attributes (e.g., materials and geometry of components), and the subjectivity of certain inputs to the model make it inadequate for producing an accurate prediction.

Independensi Penuntutan Perkara Koneksitas Ditinjau dari Peraturan Presiden Nomor 15 Tahun 2021 Tentang Organisasi dan Tata Kerja Kejaksaan

In Article 89 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Procedure Code it is stated that "criminal acts committed jointly by those belonging to the general court environment and the military court environment, are examined and tried by courts within the general court environment unless according to the decision of the Minister of Defense and Security with the approval of the Minister of Justice, the case must be examined and tried by a court within the military court environment”. In this case, it is necessary to increase the effectiveness of the implementation of the duties and powers of the Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia in carrying out technical coordination of prosecutorial prosecution and handling of connected cases and the application of the principles of embodiment of bureaucratic reform and the acceleration of the provision of legal services to the public by appointing a Junior Attorney General for Military Crime in the structure the Attorney General's Office. the existence of Presidential Decree Number 15 of 2021 is intended to accelerate the handling of connectivity cases. However, competent human resources are needed to run this structure as well as budget allocations for military members who fill these positions.

A poliheuristic analysis of South Korea’s responses towards North Korea’s missile tests

The North Korean missile program has gained undeniable momentum in the twenty first century, highly sensitive to dialogues within the region. One could argue South Korea is accustomed to these repetitive launches splashing into the Pacific Ocean, at times nearing two dozen in a year, but the republic has its sets of policy alternatives when responding to the neighbor’s aggression. To understand South Korea’s decision-making mechanism, I utilize the ‘Poliheuristic Theory’ developed by Mintz. A decision matrix consisting of three policy alternatives (passive by-standing, reaching out, joint drills) is applied to three crisis moments from 2013, 2017, 2022. Primary and secondary sources like defense ministry press releases and news reports are used for data collection. The North’s tests are closely observed by the South but usually not responded to provocations. When South Korea decides to respond, the tendency is to carry the issue to the international audience by citing U.N. Convention, Armistice Agreement, etc. The presence of the U.S. military in the peninsula plays a crucial role, as seen from the remarkably increased tests after the U.S. declared it would lessen military involvement. Several domestic and regional criteria (the Sunshine Policy, eventual unification possibility, U.S. military presence, asymmetrical capabilities, regional status quo) has possible influence over leaders’ responses.

Advancing Intelligence Analysis and Military History for Strategic Crime Detection and Prevention in Nigeria

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to interrogate influence of intelligence analysis and military history on crime detection and prevention in Nigeria. Specifically, the study was anchored on the following objectives; Public awareness, Capacity building and Policy implementation.
 Methodology: The researchers adopted Clarke and Mayhew’s Situation Crime Prevention theory and the descriptive design for the study. Primary and secondary data were obtained. Primary data were collected through the 12 key informant interviews held with conducted with personnel of the Nigeria Armed Forces, Peace and Security Scholars, officials of the Federal Ministry of Defense, selected community leaders, and stakeholders in the security sector, as well as relevant Civil Society Organizations on crime prevention process. The secondary source of data included; the existing literatures, relevant journal publications, dailies, magazines and web materials. Data obtained were content-analyzed. 
 Findings: Findings of the study revealed that the lingering aftermaths of civil war, bribery and corruption, inadequate security gadgets or equipment, absence of motivation for security personnel, inadequate cooperation from the general public and negative perception towards the security agencies, poverty, lack of patriotism, bad leadership, among others were the factors militating against the timely crime prevention efforts by various stakeholders in Nigeria. Findings also indicate that intelligence analysis and military history remain highly imperative in crime detection and prevention in the state, as it is evident that they help in locating and studying the spots or terrains of crime, conflict and war (shaping the battlefields, dictating routes of advancements, and dictating defensive positions). The study recommends that the Office of National Security Adviser through the Nigerian government must be able to integrate a variety of past experiences of military activities, intelligence information sources, determine how relevant they are towards enhancing national security and assess the situations based on context.
 Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study identifies the gap that lies between policy implementation, influence of intelligence analysis and military history on crime detection and prevention in Nigeria. It shows that the stakeholders are not doing enough towards curtailing crimes in the country. There are still gaps to be filled in awareness campaign, capacity building and policy implementation on the deployment of intelligence analysis and military history for crime detection and prevention. The study therefore submits that strategic intelligence analysis and military history need be up scaled to timely identify, analyze, and prevent potential escalation of crime.

ANALISIS SENGKETA KEPEMILIKAN AMBALAT ANTARA INDONESIA DAN MALAYSIA DALAM PRESPEKTIF SIYASAH DUSTURIYAH

The Ambalat Block belongs to Indonesia, this is based on evidence of the signing of the Indonesia-Malaysia Continental Boundary Agreement on 27 October 1969, which was signed in Kuala Lumpur and then ratified on 7 November 1969. This type of research is considered normative research. The nature of this research is descriptive analytical. Data was taken from two sources, namely primary sources and secondary sources. The approaches used are statutory, historical and conceptual. The data collection method was carried out using a literature study, namely a method in the form of collecting legal materials, obtained from library books or other readings that are related to the problems of the Ambalat sea dispute and siyasah dusturiyah. The results of this research concluded that Malaysia has ignored the fact that its country is a coast and not an island nation. Maritime boundary disputes up to the resolution of disputes between Indonesia and Malaysia are regulated in Law Number 17 of 1985 and UCLOS 1983. Fiqh Siyasah regarding the Ambalat Sea territorial boundary dispute between Indonesia and Malaysia is included in the Siyasah Dusturiyah category which discusses wizarah or assistants to the Imamah which can be interpreted as the minister in charge of resolving internal and external problems within the state and as supervisor of state administration. So it can be concluded that the Minister of Defense or Wazir Amirul Jaisy in resolving cases between the State of Indonesia and the State of Malaysia regarding territorial boundary disputes in the Ambalat Sea can be resolved using the law Islam by making peace, and not separating or being hostile to each other
