A SLOW-MOTION GENOCIDE: INDONESIAN RULE IN WEST PAPUA
DR JIM ELMSLIE AND DR CAMELLIA WEBB-GANNON∗

It is very clear that there have been egregious abuses of the human rights of Papuan people in Indonesia over an extended period. It is entirely appropriate that international pressure is brought to bear on the Indonesian government to address this situation.

One potential solution involves self-determination, of Papuan control over governance in areas historically associated with Papuan people and land. However, this could take a number of forms, and is not reducible simply to the creation of a new nation.

This Anzac Day weekend, we opened the first ever Free West Papua campaign office in Australia.

For more than 50 years, my people have suffered what I considered to be a slow-moving genocide under the repressive military occupation of Indonesia. During the second world war, the “Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels” of West Papua came to the aid of Australian soldiers. Now it is the West Papuans that need Australia’s help in order to end human rights abuses so that my people can be free to live in peace.
