The West Papuans' campaign calling on the UN Secretary-General to order a review of the UN's conduct during the 1969 Act of 'Free' Choice gathered further momentum this week when the Rt Hon.

WEST PAPUAN PEOPLE'S REPRESENTATIVE OFFICE P.O. Box 1571, Port Vila, Republic of Vanuatu PRESS RELEASE - Port Vila, Vanuatu, June 29, 2004. Against strong evidence to the contrary, Jakarta and Washington are now attempting to place direct responsibility on the OPM for the murder of two American civilians and the wounding of eleven others, in 2002, near the US owned Freeport gold and copper mine in the disputed Indonesian province of West Papua. The OPM believes this is a blatant cover-up.
