Convicted terrorists from Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) have attested to using the Internet in one way or another during their operations, from sending messages to one another to looking for extremist fatwas online to justify their actions. That said, however, one would be hard pressed to prove the primacy of the Internet in their transition to violence. More often than not, more traditional elements – blood relations and marriage ties – remain the key to individual religious radicalization and political violence in Southeast Asia. This paper revisits these kinship linkages as well as quasi-kinship ones that include teacher–disciple bonds and the wider fraternity of ikhwan-ship (brotherhood) with particular regard to JI. Keeping counter-terrorism efforts in context is important or else governments could run the risk of carelessly allocating vital resources to less immediate concerns.

Countries in Southeast Asia in the past period are still faced with several acts of piracy and terrorism in the territorial sea. Piracy has a negative effect that is felt by the international community. In this paper, the author aims to focus the discussion on how to implement the ASEAN Convention on Counter Terrorism in overcoming the problem of terrorism in the seas around Southeast Asia. This research is normative juridical conducted by examining library materials or secondary data as basic material to be investigated by conducting a search of the regulations and the literature relating to the problems under study. The results of the study showed that at the convention there was a reference to jointly handling the problem of terrorism in the Southeast Asia region. The implementation of the convention in piracy cases in the waters around Southeast Asia is carried out through the principle of cooperation. However, the implementation of the convention has not been effective because it still faces several obstacles such as the nature of responses to situational terrorism, constraints on state sovereignty and the principle of non-interference among members, differences in sea area awareness.
