West Papua Information Kit

What's happening

West Papua is under brutal Indonesian occupation, oppression, murder, and genocide of each type are being used by Indonesia to silence West Papua. To silence YOU there are many Indonesian false flag deceptions; people and organisations pretending they advocate for 'freedom' but conceal the simple facts and how people can help end the foreign occupation.

West Papua has not been annexed by Indonesia;
West Papua has been annexed by the United Nations on 21 September 1962. Our governments were blackmailed to authorise this annexation in General Assembly resolution 1752. In 1962 the new UN Secretary General (U Thant) asked Pakistan to annex and disarm West Papua, then he appointed Indonesia as the current colonial administrator".

To end the international confusion, West Papua needs to talk with today's UN Secretary General asking him to obey the Charter which requires that he tell the UN Trusteeship Council about the UN annexation.

Dirty Money

BP , Freeport McMoRan (), Korindo , and other foreign corporations including hundreds of Indonesian military concessions are looting West Papua; looting being the act of plunder during a time of war or military occupation.

Represented in America by usindo.org, these corporations want our governments to continue being complicit in murder and looting just as in East Timor from 1975-1999 and in West Papua since 1963.

Deceptions, Indonesian false flags, and future governance

Indonesian claims the General Assembly 'endorsed' its land grab claim, but if you read resolution 2504 you will see it does no such thing.
Indonesian claims the UN organised or sponsored the Indonesian 1969 'act of free choice', but it was organised by Lt. General Sarwo Edhie Wibowo who selected 1025 men and had them instructed on consequences to their families, towns and selves if they did not indicate yes when instructed; and then escorted unlucky UN diplomats to watch while under orders of the criminal UN Secretary General (U Thant) not to interfere in Indonesia's assumption of further colonial domination.
The above events of 1969 do NOT affect West Papua's sovereignty, or the United Nations legal liability for having sent Indonesia to "administrate" Papua. The United Nations is still required by law (Charter of the United Nations article 76) to "promote" the "independence" of West Papua and some other human rights listed in article 76 of the UN Charter.
Indonesia wants people to be emotionally upset and talking about 1969 instead of the United Nations legal obligations to West Papua.

Indonesia also wants people talking about a MYTH that West Papua was removed from the 'Decolonization Committee' "list". However the 'Decolonization Committee' did not begin operation until AFTER our governments were blackmailed by U Thant to authorise the annexation. Therefore West Papua was never meant to be on that list, instead West Papua was and is still meant to be on the agenda of the Trusteeship Council so the Council can make its yearly reports (Charter article 88) about West Papua and send a copy of its yearly report to the Committee as well as to the other UN members.

Flase flags: Indonesia has history of using social media platforms (1,2,3,4,5,6) and people (1,2,3,4,5,6) to mislead others. And like any community, West Papua has its share of people wishing to be 'Big-Men' of Papua, some already call themselves 'President' or 'Minister' of West Papua, or say they are part of a West Papuan government; and unfortunately such ambitions are often misrepresented as independence rather than the political self-promotion endeavours that they are.

ALTHOUGH there was a brief moment for a 'peoples congress' in 2000 when many could express their desire for national independence, since the UN annexation in September 1962 there has been NO FREEDOM for the people to hold national discussions about which types of local, regional and national services and governance may best serve their cultural and social aspirations.

AFTER the United Nations admits the people have a human right of self-determination, and AFTER the foreign military is escorted away, THEN the people of West Papua will be able to freely design their own form of government to suit their own cultural and social values. It would be outrageous to suggest the peoples of West Papua need to promise or otherwise commit themselves to some formula or type of governance before the UN admits they have human rights including the right of self-determination about their own and their country's welfare and future.

Like the American's 'Declaration of Independence', a 1961 elected West Papuan Council in October 1961 made an equally fine declaration declaring their wish for independence, and while under foreign duress in 1971 in consultation with the previously elected Council the indigenous independence movement OPM made a declaration of purpose equally as fine as the 1961 and American declarations. HOWEVER, designing governance (a future government) that includes executive, legislative, and judicial services will require at least months of West Papuan freedom to undertake.

Location & history

West Papua is larger than Japan or German, 50% larger than Texas, containing some 420,000 km² of the world's most vital tropical rainforests, moutains, and wetlands.

Papua also known as New Guinea is the world's second largest island, it is on the northern edge of the continental plate slowly moving north and being lifted up. Papua and the Australian continent were colonised by Melanesian ancestors over fifty thousand years ago, later Asian and European incursions failed in West Papua until a Dutch missionary presence was premitted by the West Papuans in the mid 19th century.

In 1895 a European agreement alleged West Papua was a Dutch territory, in 1935 Holland gave a West Papua exploration license to a company (NNGPM) that the Rockefeller family purchased a 60% interest in and which in 1936 illegally with-held discovery of the world's largest gold & copper deposits being found in West Papua.

The Rockefellers could not risk asking for a Dutch or Papuan mining license which could be voided if evidence of the 1936 deception was discovered.

Therefore to gain a secure mining license the Rockefeller and later their Freeport partner (cold-war banker and bonesman Robert Lovett) had fiscal motive to help the creation of the Indonesia military and help Indonesia gain access to West Papua. Unable to act while Imperial Japanese conquests with aid of Indonesian oil put the region in jeopardy, Rockefeller waited while a Ford Foundation scheme for the creation of a colonial Indonesian military regime willing to grant access to Papua's resources. However in 1959 the Dutch revealed they knew there was a huge gold deposit and were searching for the mountain source of the metal littering West Papua's southern coastline.

Within weeks a Freeport director flew to claim the Ertsberg and Grasberg mountains were "possible copper reserves" that the company wanted to mine. At the same time a lawyer at the US Embassy in Jakarta proposed that the US should aid Indonesia with a "special United Nations trusteeship of West New Guinea" which would then grant Indonesia de-facto 'sovereignty' of the colony irrespective of Papuan wishes.

Eventually this illegal misuse of trusteeship was proposed to Indonesia in 1961, six months later the United Nations Secretary General (Dag Hammarskjold) was killed and with Indonesia's help a friend of Indonesia (U Thant) became the new UN Secretary General. It was U Thant who pressed America to help Indonesia get the Duth to sign the special trusteeship agreement (a.k.a. 'New York Agreement'), U Thant who championed the proposal throughout 1962 and who ambushed the 1962 General Assembly with a request to authorise the UN administration of West Papua with the creation of General Assembly resolution 1752.

Under influence of U Thant the United Nations did not tell the Trusteeship Council about General Assembly resolution 1752, and thereby has allowed Indonesia and others to kill, rape and loot the people and territory of West Papua in violation of international law for the past sixty years.

West Papua in English refers to the western half of Papua, but in an apparant attempt to both divide the Papuan people and to confuse the outside world with the names, Indonesia in 2007 imposed political divisions it calls the Province of West Papua (Papua Barat), and the Province of Papua.
