I wish to take this opportunity to portray the suffering and misfortune of the indigenous people of West Papua since the implementation of Special Autonomy in West Papua. Under Special Autonomy, the Indonesian government has the following aims and commitments: First: To protect the basic rights and status of Papuans, including their land rights. Second: To develop indigenous Papuans through education, improvements in community health, and increased economic prosperity.

Human rights activists and church organisations predict that, without international attention and intervention, West Papua is in danger of becoming the next East Timor. Recent reports from coastal towns and highland areas in West Papua indicate that Enrico Guterres, one of the architects involved in terror activities in East Timor in 1999, is operating in the region, distributing shipments of guns to local militia. Guterres, indicted by the Indonesian court for crimes against humanity, has remained free while he appeals his sentence and has been operating in West Papua for more than a year.

(INDONESIAN WEST NEW GUINEA) 1968 TO 1969 - by John Saltford -Introduction.....This paper, based mainly upon previously classified United Nations documents, will seek to re-examine the events surrounding the Act of Free Choice which took place in West New Guinea in July and August 1969. In particular, I wish to look at the role of the United Nations and consider whether or not it fulfilled its responsibilities towards the Papuan people.
