INTERNATIONAL LAWYES FOR WEST PAPUA

9th May 2010

STATEMENT ON THE PROPOSED MILITARY ACTION IN MORGAME, WEST PAPUA

The international Lawyers for West Papua express their deep concern at the report of proposed military action by Indonesian forces in Morgame, West Papua, formerly the Netherlands New Guinea.

ILWP notes that the 1969 ‘act of free choice’ provides no legal or moral justification for Indonesian sovereignty over West Papua and no basis for military action against the indigenous peoples of West Papua.

ILWP further notes that Indonesia’s presence in West Papua is a continuation of colonialism and as such it is a violation of international law.

We call on the international community of states and the United Nations:



· to bring to an end the subjugation of the indigenous West Papuans by Indonesia, an alien power;



· to ensure that a genuine act of self-determination is held in West Papua in accordance with international law so that the indigenous peoples of West Papua may freely determine their future.

ILWP notes with deep concern the increasing human rights violations by the state of Indonesia against the indigenous peoples of West Papua.


We call on Indonesia to allow international monitors to enter West Papua and provide a full report of the human rights situation in West Papua.


We ask the international community of states and the UN to act immediately to uphold the international rule of law and enable the indigenous peoples of West Papua to live in freedom, peace and dignity.
