Contents 1. Introduction 2. Historical background 3. Root causes of the conflict in West Papua 4. The sources of the Indonesian Government’s power in West Papua 5. Armed resistance to Indonesian rule in West Papua 6. Contemporary nonviolent struggle in West Papua 7. Ways forward 8. Conclusion Acknowledgements Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary A nonviolent struggle for self-determination has been occurring in West Papua, an Indonesian colony located on the Western rim of the Pacific. A previous Dutch colonial outpost that Indonesia took control of in 1963, West Papua has been the scene of one of the most protracted, complex, and volatile conflicts in the Pacific. The nonviolent struggle in West Papua has rarely been noticed or analyzed in depth by West Papuan scholars whose inquiries have focused on conventional politicking and armed resistance. Nor has nonviolent struggle in West Papua been investigated by those conducting research into the dynamics of nonviolent action. The nonviolent struggle for self- determination in West Papua has also received little sustained analytical attention from domesticUNESCO Indonesia media outlets adding – to widespreadEOLSS Indonesian ignorance about the causes of West Papuan grievances. A banning on foreign journalists traveling to West Papua has further contributed to West Papua’s marginalization in the international press.

There we must hope that they may have found some route less formidable than the others have shown themselves on first acquaintance. The idea that the slopes of the mountain towards the Tibetan plateau might, as elsewhere, be much less steep than towards the south is evidently wrong; they could not be much steeper than they are. The difficulties are indeed formidable ; but the " Fading Hopes " of the Times9 poster on September 10 are not yet those of the Mount Everest Committee, still less of the expedition in the field, whose duty this year was to reconnoitre all the approaches to the mountain, but not to spend time early in the season on any one route until they had satisfied themselves that there was none easier that had been overlooked.

  • West Papua, Defusing the Minefield. a ‘Failing Papuan State’?
    West Papua, defusing the minefield. A ‘failing Papuan State’? BY BONNY KAIYO Introduction West Papua is a colony settled by two alien administrations, namely the Dutch for 300 years and later Indonesia for 60 years. It is by definition a UN Trust Territory that shows all the signs to follow Timor-Leste and South Sudan into statehood at the right time, but its success as a new Melanesian state is shadowed by the so-called 'failing state', tag like its closest neighbours Papua New Guinea (PNG), Timor-Leste and the Solomon Islands. It is possible West Papua would face similar difficulties affecting its neighbouring tribal Melanesian countries post-independence, and there are challenges an independent West Papua could likely face. Despite the cannibalized decolonization process, if given freedom there are also prospects for a better future for ordinary Papuans, whether through independence or genuine autonomy within Indonesia. Background History repeats itself as truth and falsehood converge, and in an endless process, the dialectics of the different historical epochs have a tendency to probe suspect conclusions and insinuate preferences to bring back merit to a vile human civilization. Indeed, historical account of the failure by the international community or society, and especially the US, to come good on the doctrine of responsibility to protect the world and the colonized subjects in the non – European world, is contentious. It points to blanks which exist in the writing of possible histories for Non – Self Governing Territories including West New Guinea or West Papua in the endeavour towards a comparison of conferment of statehood on colonial peoples who fought for their emancipation.

  • In Central New Guinea Michael Lee Wesch Fairbury, Nebraska BS
    Witchcraft, Statecraft, and the Challenge of "Community" in Central New Guinea Michael Lee Wesch Fairbury, Nebraska BS in Anthropology, Kansas State University 1997 MA in Anthropology, University of Virginia 2001 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology University of Virginia January 2006 i abstract This dissertation examines how and why “witchcraft” came to be the primary obstacle of local efforts to build “community” in Nimakot, an area in the Mountain Ok region of central New Guinea. I begin by pointing out that witchcraft is a part of a broader cultural process I call relational sociality, oftentimes referred to in studies of self and personhood as dividuality. “Community” on the other hand is part of the very different cultural process of modern statecraft. One of the core differences between these two cultural processes is in the domain of personhood and identity. While relational sociality emphasizes relational identities, modern statecraft instead emphasizes categorical identities. The tensions between these cultural processes come to a head in Operation Clean and Sweep, a plan developed by indigenous government officers in which the small hamlets scattered throughout the bush were to be eliminated, forcing all people to live in one of twelve government-recognized villages. The plan comes to a halt however, when many begin complaining that they cannot move to the government villages due to fears of witchcraft. At this point, the operation altered its focus as it became a concentrated effort to use the mechanisms of statecraft to annihilate witchcraft, clearing the way for “community.” While witchcraft is a small part of a much broader relational ontology, this relational ontology is most visible to social actors in the accusations and imageries of witchcraft.

Whatever may have been the effect of this in Public International Law, a title by occupation was obtained by the effective settlement of the islands and their appendages which followed. This was accompanied by express acts of Imperial Public Law, under which the whole of the lands so settled came, in legal intendment, into the possession of the King as representing the supreme executive pO"ler of the British Empire.

  • The Story Behind the Land Borders of the Australian States
    The Story behind the Land Borders of the Australian States - A Legal and Historical Overview Delivered by Dr Gerard Carney Public Lecture Series, High Court of Australia 10 April 2013 Introduction I think it is safe to say that every Australian is able to draw roughly the land borders of the six Australian States and of the Northern Territory. Less well known is the history behind these borders. This lecture attempts to trace that history in terms of when , how and why these borders were drawn where they are. Time does not permit consideration of the coastline boundaries, which were determined by a majority of the High Court in the Seas and Submerged Lands Act Case in 1975 to lie at the low-water mark. 1 So, my apology to Tasmania which barely rates a mention in this lecture! Nor do I cover the boundary of the Australian Capital Territory within New South Wales. Geographical barriers are usually the most effective land borders, such as mountain ranges, rivers, lakes, gorges, or deserts. All of these geographical features have played some role in the drawing of Australia’s boundaries. But their role has been a secondary one on the mainland due to the extraordinary distances involved, and the fact that the internal geography of the continent was largely unknown at the time the UK authorities felt the need to define Australia’s land borders. Instead, primary reliance was placed on the meridian lines of longitude (measured from the prime meridian at Greenwich 2) and parallels of latitude (measured from the equator) – referred to by one commentator as those “celestially-described boundaries”.
