West Papua Report for June 2012
Summary
The Indonesian Government's human rights record came
under scrutiny at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva
which convened a quadrennial review of Indonesia's progress
on human rights protection. The focus on developments in
West Papua was more intense than the last review with the
denial of freedom of speech and the holding of political
prisoners among the leading concerns. Indonesia promised to
invite the UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Speech though
it was unclear if he would be allowed to visit West Papua.
The U.S. State Department released its annual global review
of human rights observance. The report gave significant
attention to human rights violations in West Papua with some
focus on the role of the security forces. As in the past,
the State Department report ignored the Indonesian
government's failure to provide minimally adequate health,
education and other vital services to the Papuan people.
Amnesty International also issued its annual report on human
rights with a significant focus on rights issues in West
Papua. A detailed study revealed the Indonesian government's
failure to protect Papuans from unscrupulous land developers
in West Papua. Demonstrators in Vanuatu targeted their
government's warming relationship with Indonesia,
particularly with Indonesian security forces.
