This inclusively allows individuals to be detained without a court order, extended in detention without judicial jurisdiction, or placed under military jurisdiction instead of civilian powers. The proposed solution is to restructure the responsible agencies and empower those with primary authority over the military, as well as implement measures to promote activities supporting the protection of rights and human security. There should be a review of the law enforcement process to align it with the actual needs of the area, with the goal of bringing the three southern border provinces under ordinary laws and genuinely reducing unrest in the area.
