In this edition, the journal broadly addresses contemporary challenges in legal systems, public policy, and human rights amidst the dynamics of globalization, technological advancement, and humanitarian crises. In the context of technology regulation, it explores how governments particularly in the European Union and the United States design policies to govern artificial intelligence (AI) by taking into account ethical, security, and innovation considerations. On the other hand, the globalization of science and technology is shown to have negative impacts on local communities, as seen in the case of the Dayak Indigenous peoples in Borneo who are affected by the Food Estate policy that disregards customary law and traditional land rights. Humanitarian issues are also highlighted, particularly through analyses of the role of the United Nations Security Council in humanitarian intervention and Indonesia's participation in addressing the Rohingya ethnic crisis. Both topics underscore the tension between the principle of state sovereignty and the moral and legal obligations under international law to protect victims of gross human rights violations. Additionally, the issue of personal data protection is raised through a case study of the 2021 BPJS Kesehatan data breach, which reflects the weakness of national cybersecurity infrastructure and regulations. Overall, these journals demonstrate that states, both at national and global levels, are at a critical crossroads in responding to technological developments, ensuring social justice, and fulfilling international responsibilities regarding human rights. The importance of strengthening regulations, involving indigenous communities, protecting personal data, and promoting humanitarian diplomacy based on international law is strongly emphasized.
