This is all the more so if this intervention means involving United Nations troops in settling the conflict. Perhaps, the wishes to involve the troops in settling the conflict in Maluku is not proportional and is even exaggerated. Anyway, Maluku is part of Indonesia's territory. Therefore, the presence of the United Nations troops to help settle this conflict, which is obviously an internal matter of the Republic of Indonesia, may have wide implications on the sovereignty of the country. Besides, the riots breaking out in Maluku have been localized to around Ambon and Halmahera only. Therefore, there is no reason why the United Nations troops have to come to this Land of Spices. Things will be even illogical if this is connected with sovereignty over this region. Once again, we must underline that not everywhere in the Malukus is tumultuous. Since the enforcement of the civil emergency, security in Maluku and North Maluku provinces has gradually been improving, although riots have occurred every now and then in Ambon, Galela and Toledo.
