The Center for Multilateral Studies and Development (P2K), the Agency for Policy Assessment and Development (BPPK), the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) organized the Regional Conference on Contemporary Warfare: Global ; Trends and Humanitarian Challenges on Wednesday, September 5 2018 in Jakarta. The conference presented representatives from various international organizations, including the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), as well as various regional study centers and academic institutions. Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said the aim of the conference was to find solutions to new challenges in realizing world peace. The new challenge arises from technological developments, namely cyber war. This type of war is considered to require attitudes and special handling efforts that are different from conventional warfare.

"Now we know that there are new challenges, there are different types of war, which have used more technology. Well, this is one of the prescriptions. Because I say, whatever type of conflict, whatever type of war, the victims are still human. And this human will always be the core attention of the ICRC, of ​​course also for Indonesian foreign policy. Therefore we collaborate with the ICRC to organize this Regional Conference which will discuss the new challenges, said Retno Marsudi..

On the same occasion, the Head of the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs BPPK Siswo Pramono said that this discussion was a wide-ranging discussion. Therefore all participants are expected to be able to provide input to relevant agencies to later be used as a consideration in the formulation of policies related to the use of technology for military purposes or war. In addition, according to Siswo there is a technological leap in every war so that the discussion is aimed at minimizing damage from increasingly sophisticated technology. (VOI / Rezha/AHM)
