We call for the United Nations to now resume its decolonization obligation in relation to West New Guinea by facilitating an act of self determination in compliance with UN GA Resolutions 1514 and 1541, and the "New York Agreement" of August 1962 as noted in UN GA Resolution 1752.

We understand that the Republic of Indonesia being a member of the United Nations did support UN GA Resolutions 1514 and 1541 in November 1960; but under United States pressure violated those Resolutions in August 1962 by signing an agreement which both acknowledged West New Guinea's status as a colony and provided for an eight year delay of self-determination.

Although colonial control was transfered to Indonesia from the Kingdom of the Netherlands without consent of the people of West New Guinea, the colony's name should have remain on the UN list of Non Self-Governing territories, and Indonesia requested to continue supply of information under Article 73e of the United Nations Charter as the Netherlands had been doing since the 1950s. It is with great regreat that we observe no act of self-determination has yet taken place, and that the IMF and World Bank funded transmigration program around a million foreign nationals now makes Term 18 of the New York Agreement essential to any fair act of self-determination, specifically "eligibility of all adults, male and female, not foreign nationals to participate in the act of self-determination to be carried out in accordance with international practice" must be assured.

Further, the United Nations did also pledge to provide sufficient support to aid Indonesia to successfully fulfil its wish for West New Guinea to have an act of self-determination consistent with its United Nations obligations under UN GA Resolutions 1514, 1541, and the New York Agreement.

We again ask for the United Nations to end its forty four year moratorium on the decolonization of West New Guinea.
