This article aims to describe the application of the concept of neutrality law in the current era with the contamination of digitalization. The main problem refers to the intervention of third countries or neutral states in the Russian conflict v. Ukraine, then questioned the existence of neutrality law in the era of digitalization. The method used is a normative juridical method with a statute approach analyzed qualitatively and descriptively. The results show that validity is needed in determining the attitude of third countries or neutral states that intervene with belligerents (Russia/Ukraine). The determination of the validity is based on the scale of the intervention provided by the third country. Validity refers to the 1907 Hague Convention and the UN Charter, which generally outlines violations of territorial sovereignty and international law. So, in conclusion, the concept of open access, broad and immeasurable digitalization, cannot be avoided in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. This does not necessarily become a justification because the essence of the principle of neutrality and intervention is very different; the two cannot be combined unless a violation of international law indicates one. So basically, neutrality law can no longer be the primary regulation to control the attitude of a neutral state but requires new norms that shape the attitude of a neutral state so that it can be used as international customary law.
This study aims to provide policy recommendations in the legal context regarding regional needs for integrative problems so that the flexibility to open access to international cooperation is not only to promote regional potential but can empower that potential for sustainable development. The article was compiled using a juridical normative method supported by field data relating to the existing conditions in Gorontalo in terms of developing international law in the region, namely optimizing the role of the region in international relations as a consequence of the Regulation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Number 3 of 2019 concerning General Guidelines for Foreign Relations by Local government. The results of the study indicate that strengthening diplomacy is part of the Gorontalo provincial government's efforts to get to know the personal identity of the region (regency and city) both in the context of local excellence and globally competent regional advantages and can even build future-oriented international relations. Sister cities or twin cities in the Gorontalo government will be one way to strengthen foreign diplomatic relations through international cooperation mechanisms that can enable the Gorontalo provincial government, both district and city, to play a strategic role to take advantage of the inter-governments/inter-federation state network. in other countries in order to realize the vision of good governance and the vision of a sustainable smart governance/smart city
