In fact, the Attorney General Office having challenge and potentially facing political interfere from other stakeholder. This research will focus on theme the independence of the Attorney General Office from political budgeting (the sub-theme of creating other legitimate revenue and manage budgeting independently). The other legitimate revenue may be originated from the legal related services (other than related to criminal case))., including to utilise such fund for rehabilitation and restoration purposes. The research method used is qualitative with type of socio-legal studies. This research is found and highlighted that the Attorney General Office potentially able to increase its revenue and having flexibility to manage it.

Community-based adaptation has gained significant international attention as a way for communities to respond to the increasing threats and complex pressures posed by climate change. This bottom-up strategy represents an alternative to the prolonged reliance on, and widespread ineffectiveness of, mitigation methods to halt climate change, in addition to the exacerbation of vulnerability resulting from top-down adaptation approaches. Yet despite the promises of this alternative approach, the efficacy of community-based adaptation remains unknown. Its potential to reduce vulnerability within communities remains a significant gap in knowledge, largely due to limited participatory evaluations with those directly affected by these initiatives, to determine the success and failure of project design, implementation, outcomes and long-term impact. This paper seeks to close this gap by undertaking an in-depth evaluation of multiple community-based adaptation projects in Tanna Island, Vanuatu and exploring community attitudes and behavioural changes. This study found that future community-based adaptation should integrate contextual specificities and gender equality frameworks into community-based adaptation design and implementation, as well as recognise and complement characteristics of local resilience and innovation. In doing this, the critical importance of looking beyond assumptions of Small Island Developing States (SIDS) as homogenous, primarily vulnerable to climate change and lacking resilience, was also recognised.

“…Dinnen et al , in their examination of restorative justice in the Pacific Islands, maintain that achieving some degree of reparation after many years of violence and injustice requires an inclusive and participatory process (2003, p. 4), ‘…in contrast to the exclusionary character of formal court proceedings under state justice’. In the wake of a long and bloody conflict not unlike that now underway in Darfur and throughout the Middle East, the Pacific Islanders – particularly in Bougainville – have managed to achieve a degree of expiation of evil by engaging in multiple processes in diverse organizational settings – public, private, and third sector – over an extended period of time in ways that are resonant with their culture.…”

Evil actions by human beings show little sign of diminution as the twenty‐first century unfolds. Evil can be defined as the knowing infliction of pain and suffering – physical and/or psychological – on another human being. It can be perpetrated by individuals, by organizations, and by nation states, among others. It can take the form of administrative evil, in which people participate in acts of evil while thinking they are just doing what they should be doing in their organizational role. Under conditions of moral inversion, evil can be engaged in under the guise of doing good. While some aspects of evil’s aftermath are clear enough through the trail of mass graves, broken bodies and lives, and trans‐generational reverberations, the possibilities of expiating evil, including administrative evil, through processes of forgiveness, reconciliation and reparation, especially on the part of organizations and states, remain under‐explored. This article begins that exploration.
