Legal historians li ke V.E. Korn and G.J. Resink have elucidated the important role of treatie s in this region and their contribution to the development of Indonesian a nd international law. Less well-known however is that the treaties often i ncluded important references to adat (customary law)\, which often reveal important differences in the interests of the parties involved. My talk an alyses how the orchestration of adat in the treaty-making process function ed as a strategic shield to protect autonomy and as a legal means through which dominant powers attempted to exert influence upon their supposed sub ordinates. I also make a comparison with treaties constituted by South Sul awesi migrants with the sovereigns of the lands where they settled\, espec ially in the Malay Peninsula and Kalimantan. This way\, I unveil how both in- and outside of Sulawesi the treaties were used as important diplomatic tools to accommodate and uphold adat.\nMuhammad Buana (Louie) [S.H.\, B.A .\, Adv.
