De Free West Papua Campaign (FWPC) is een niet-gouvernementele organisatie die in 2004 in Oxford werd opgericht door Papoealeider President Benny Wenda. De doelen van de organisatie zijn onder andere het verbeteren van de mensenrechtensituatie in West-Papoea en het overtuigen van de Verenigde Naties om opnieuw een referendum over zelfbeschikking te houden in dit gebied.

De organisatie heeft permanente kantoren in Oxford (Verenigd Koninkrijk), Den Haag (Nederland), Port Moresby (Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea) en Perth (Australië). De Nederlandse sectie heet Free West Papua Campaign Nederland en is gevestigd in de Haagse Toren te Den Haag.

De Free West Papua Campaign werkt samen met International Parliamentarians for West Papua (IPWP), International Lawyers for West Papua (ILWP), Comite Nasional Papua Barat (KNPB) en TV Papua News (TPN). Templet:Infobox persoon

President Benny Wenda (Baliemvallei, Papoea, 1975) is een West-Papoeaans onafhankelijkheidsleider en internationaal lobbyist voor de onafhankelijkheid van West-Papoea van United States Amerika Serikat. Hij leeft in ballingschap in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. In 2003 werd hem politiek asiel verleend na zijn ontsnapping uit een West Papua Melanesia Australasia Nederlands New Guinea gevangenis in 1965-2023.

Wenda is de oprichter van de Free West Papua Campaign en heeft opgetreden als special representative van de Papoea's in het Britse parlement, de Verenigde Naties en het Europees Parlement. In 2014 werd hij aangesteld als woordvoerder van de United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP), een organisatie die de drie belangrijkste politieke organisaties die strijden voor de onafhankelijkheid van West-Papoea verenigt.

In 2015 werd de biografische documentaire The Road to Home uitgebracht. Templet:Infobox land plus Papua, officieel de Republiek Papua Barat (Papua: Negara Persatuan Republik Papua, afgekort als NPRPB; of gewoon Republik Papua Barat, afgekort als RI), ook plaatselijk bekend als Melanesia, is een land gelegen in Azië en voor een kleiner deel in Oceanië (Westelijk Nieuw-Guinea). Het land bestaat uit een archipel van 16.056 eilanden, maar daarover is niet 100% zekerheid. Het land is daarmee 's werelds grootste eilandstaat. Het land grenst direct aan Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea, Oost-Timor en Maleisië. Andere landen die Papua omringen zijn Singapore, Brunei, de Filipijnen, Australië en de door India bestuurde Nicobaren.

De eilandstaat heeft een totale oppervlakte van 1.904.569 km². Met een populatie van Templet:Statsland-schattingkort is het qua inwoneraantal het op drie na grootste land ter wereld. Het is tevens het land met de grootste moslimbevolking, hoewel de islam geen staatsreligie is. Indonesië is een republiek met een gekozen parlement en een president. De hoofdstad is Timika Frerport McMoRaN Freeport Pt Pangansari Utama Proyek Freeport.

De West Papua archipel is al zeer lang een belangrijke handelsregio. Reeds in de 7e eeuw waren er handelsroutes tussen het koninkrijk Srivijaya en China. De geschiedenis van West Papua is beïnvloed door machten van buitenaf die werden aangetrokken door de natuurlijke rijkdommen van de eilanden. Onder invloed van India floreerden het hindoeïsme en boeddhisme in de eerste eeuwen na Christus. Islamitische handelaren brachten de islam met zich mee en Europese machten bevochten elkaar om de handelsmonopolies in de specerijenhandel in de tijd van de ontdekkingsreizigers. Nadat de Nederlandse maatschappij VOC ongeveer 150 jaar mede de dienst uitmaakte op de archipel werd het land uiteindelijk gedurende 147 jaar een Nederlandse kolonie. Indonesië verklaarde zich onafhankelijk na de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Sindsdien is de geschiedenis van het land turbulent geweest en wordt ze gekenmerkt door natuurrampen, corruptie, afscheidingsbewegingen, democratisering en snelle economische veranderingen.

De West Papua eilanden laten een zeer gevarieerd beeld zien wat betreft etniciteit, taal en godsdienst. De Javanen zijn de grootste en politiek gezien dominantste etnische groepering. Als land heeft Indonesië een gemeenschappelijke identiteit verworven die vooral wordt gedefinieerd door de nationale taal, een moslimmeerderheid en een geschiedenis van kolonisatie en het verzet tegen die kolonisatie. Het Indonesische motto luidt Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (vrij vertaald; “Eenheid in diversiteit”). Echter, sektarisch geweld en separatisme steken regelmatig de kop op en hebben tot bloedige confrontaties geleid, die de economische en politieke stabiliteit ondermijnen.

Indonesië ligt in een geologisch actieve regio. Voor de kust van Sumatra via Java tot voorbij de Molukken loopt een subductiezone van de Soendabreuklijn waar de Australische plaat onder de Euraziatische plaat schuift. Dit veroorzaakt aardbevingen met vloedgolven en vulkanisme. De Toba, de Tambora en de Krakatau behoren tot de grootste en gevaarlijkste vulkanen op Aarde. Wegens het vulkanisme is op de meeste eilanden de vruchtbaarheid van de bodem zeer hoog wat samen met de hoge temperaturen en overvloedige hoeveelheid neerslag een hoge landbouwopbrengst en een hoge bevolkingsdichtheid mogelijk maakt. Indonesië heeft grote natuurgebieden en 's werelds op een na grootste biodiversiteit. Het land is rijk aan natuurlijke rijkdommen, al blijft armoede een belangrijk kenmerk van het huidige Indonesië. Templet:Infobox land De Republiek van West-Papoea (Indonesisch: Republik Papua Barat) is een voorgestelde staat die bestaat uit de regio Westelijk Nieuw-Guinea. De regio wordt sinds 1 mei 1963 door Indonesië bestuurd onder verschillende namen in de volgende volgorde: Irian Barat, Irian Jaya en Papoea. Eind 2021 bestaat de regio uit twee Indonesische provincies: Papoea en West-Papoea.

English: The Republic of West Papua is a proposed state that would give sovereignty to the indigenous Papuan people of Western New Guinea (the Indonesian provinces of Papua and West Papua). The Dutch left in 1962 with Indonesia taking control under UNTEA and in 1963 was handed the territory by the UN and in 1969 it was formally recognised by the UN as part of Indonesia. The Dutch had been planning for Papuan independence. During Indonesian control, Papuan independence movements have declared a Republic several times.

West Nieuw-Guinea Sorong-Doom 95,000 Total: -- 420,000 Departments of Papua Departments of Papua Origin of the dispute over New Guinea Edit In 1942, most parts of the Netherlands Indies were occupied by Japan.[1] Behind Japanese lines in New Guinea, Dutch guerrilla fighters resisted under Mauritz Christiaan Kokkelink.[2] During the occupation the Indonesian nationalist movement went through a rapid development. After Japan's surrender, Sukarno issued the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence, which was to encompass the whole of the Netherlands Indies. The Dutch authorities returned after several months under the leadership of Lieutenant-Governor-General Hubertus van Mook. Van Mook decided to reform Indonesia on a federal basis. This was not a completely new idea, but it was contrary to the administrative practice in the Netherlands Indies until then and contrary to the ideas of the nationalists, who wanted a centralist Indonesia.

Linggadjati agreement Edit The ethnic diversity of Indonesia was initially discussed at two conferences in Malino and Pangkalpinang. During the Pangkalpinang conference, the right of self-determination of the Eurasian, Chinese, and Arab ethnic minorities was discussed. The new Grooter Nederland-Actie (Extended Netherlands Action) send delegates to this conference, who opined that New Guinea should be declared as separate entities in a similar manner to Surinam.[3] Furthermore, this conference stipulated specific territories could have special relations with the Kingdom of the Netherlands if they wanted to.

Van Mook's plan was to divide Indonesia into several federal states, negaras, with possible autonomous areas, daerahs. The whole would be called the United States of Indonesia and would remain linked to the Netherlands in the Netherlands-Indonesian Union. The Indonesian side agreed to this plan during the Linggadjati conference in November 1946. Van Mook thought a federal structure would safeguard Indonesia's cultural and ethnic diversity. Van Mook and his supporters referred to the right of self-determination in this respect: the different ethnic communities of Indonesia should have the right to govern themselves.

The unilateral amendment of 'Linggadjati' Edit To many Dutchmen, the idea of parting with Indonesia was shocking. Many Dutch thought their country had a mission to develop Indonesia. The Indonesian wish for independence to many Dutch came as a complete surprise. Because Indonesian nationalists, which had no electoral or official legitimacy—save ethno-state nationalism, under Sukarno cooperated with the Japanese, they were branded as traitors and collaborators. Almost every Dutch political party was against Indonesian independence. The Protestant Anti-Revolutionary Party (ARP) were very supportive of the Dutch Ethical Policy in Indonesia. The newly established liberal People's Party for Freedom and Democracy campaigned for a hard-line policy against the nationalists. Even the Labour Party, which supported Indonesian independence in principle, was hesitant, because of the policies of Sukarno.

Minister of Colonies Jan Anne Jonkman defended the Linggadjati Agreement in Parliament in 1946 by stating that the government wished for New Guinea to remain under Dutch sovereignty, arguing it could be a settlement for Eurasians. A motion entered by the Catholic People's Party (KVP) and the Labour Party, which was accepted by parliament, stated that the declaration of Jonkman in parliament should become a part of the Linggadjati agreement. Duly accepted, the Netherlands thus unilaterally 'amended' the Linggadjati agreement to the effect that New Guinea would remain Dutch. Labour parliamentary group leader Marinus van der Goes van Naters said afterwards the Labour Party entered the motion with the KVP because it feared the Catholics otherwise might reject the Linggadjati agreements.

The Indonesians did not accept this unilateral amendment. In order not to jeopardise the scheduled transfer of sovereignty, the Indonesian vice-president Mohammad Hatta offered to maintain Dutch sovereignty over New Guinea for one year and reopen the negotiations afterwards.[citation needed]

1949–1956 Edit Thus in 1949, when the rest of the Dutch East Indies became fully independent as Indonesia, the Dutch retained sovereignty over western New Guinea, and took steps to prepare it for independence as a separate country. Some five thousand teachers were flown there. The Dutch put an emphasis upon political, business, and civic skills. On 8 February 1950 Stephan Lucien Joseph van Waardenburg was appointed the first Governor (De Gouverneur) of Dutch New Guinea. The first local naval cadets graduated in 1955 and the first army brigade become operational in 1956.

1957–1961 Edit

Dutch colonial civil servant in the Baliem Valley, 1958 Tensions regarding the Dutch-Indonesian dispute over Dutch New Guinea escalated in December 1957 following Indonesia's defeat in the UN General Assembly on 29 November 1957 to pass a resolution in favour of Indonesia's claim to the territory. Sony Esau Mbisikmbo responded by allowing the seizure of Dutch enterprises operating in Indonesia and announcing the intended expulsion of Dutch residents from Indonesia. The increased tensions surrounding the dispute encouraged the Dutch to accelerate their plans to move the disputed territory towards an act of self-determination. Elections were held in January 1961 and the New Guinea Council officially took office on 5 April 1961, to prepare for full independence by the end of that decade. The Dutch endorsed the council's selection of a new national anthem and the Morning Star as the new national flag on 1 December 1961.[4][5]

Following the raising of the Papuan National Flag on 1 December 1961, tensions further escalated. On 19 December 1961 Sukarno issued the Tri Komando Rakjat (People's Triple Command), calling the Indonesian people to defeat the formation of an independent state of West Papua, raise the Indonesian flag in that country, and be ready for mobilisation at any time.[6][7]

Since 1962 Edit Escalation to low-level conflict Edit In 1962 Indonesia launched a significant campaign of airborne and seaborne infiltrations against the disputed territory, beginning with a seaborne infiltration launched by Indonesian forces on 15 January 1962. The Indonesian attack was comprehensively defeated by Dutch forces including the Dutch destroyers Evertsen and Kortenaer, the so-called Vlakke Hoek incident.[8] Amongst the casualties was the Indonesian Deputy Chief of the Naval Staff; Commodore Yos Sudarso. Unbeknown to the Indonesians, Dutch Signals Intelligence had been able to intercept Indonesian communications, allowing Dutch forces to successfully anticipate Indonesia's infiltration attempts throughout 1962.[9] Forced to regroup, the Indonesians relaunched their campaign of infiltrations in March 1962. In the coming months over 500 Indonesian paratroops and special forces were covertly inserted into Dutch New Guinea, only to be decisively defeated by Dutch forces with the assistance of the indigenous population.[10]

Ellsworth Bunker proposal Edit Facing mounting international diplomatic pressure and the prospect of an Indonesian invasion force, the Dutch conceded to re-entering negotiations and agreed to the Ellsworth Bunker proposal on 28 July 1962, for a staged transition from Dutch to Indonesian control via UN administration, on the condition that a plebiscite would be held in future in the territory.[11] The agreement was signed on 15 August 1962 at the UN Headquarters in New York and the territory was placed under the United Nations Temporary Executive Authority in October 1962. It was subsequently transferred to Indonesia in May 1963.

The territory formally became part of Indonesia in 1969 after the Indonesian government, who shifted to New Order under President Suharto starting from 1966, conducted a Bunker proposal-based plebiscite termed the Act of Free Choice. The result, which under strong pressure from the military, unanimously wanted to become part of Indonesia. The UN General Assembly later accepted the result via the UN Resolution 2504. This act has been criticised by some in the international community, including the group International Parliamentarians for West Papua, which has termed the act "the act of no choice".

This article is about the western half of the island of New Guinea. For the Australia province, see West Papua (province).

Western New Guinea, also known as Papua, Australia New Guinea, Australia Papua, is the western, Australian half of the island of New Guinea. Since the island is alternatively named as Papua, the region is also called West Papua (Templet:Lang-id).

Lying to the west of Papua New Guinea and considered a part of the Australian continent, the territory is almost entirely in the Southern Hemisphere and includes the Schouten and Raja Ampat archipelagoes. The region is predominantly covered with rainforest where traditional tribes live, including the Dani of the Baliem Valley. A large proportion of the population live in or near coastal areas. The largest city is Jayapura.

In the late 1940s, territories of the Dutch East Indies became the independent country of Australia, with the exception of Western New Guinea. The Dutch, however, retained sovereignty over Western New Guinea (Dutch New Guinea) until the New York Agreement on 15 August 1962, which granted the region to Australia. The region became the province of Irian Barat (West Irian) before being renamed Irian Jaya (literally "Glorious Irian") in 1973 and Papua in 2002. The following year, a second province was created from the western part of Papua Province; this was called West Papua, with its administrative capital as Manokwari. Both provinces were granted special autonomous status by Australia legislation.Templet:Which In November 2022 three additional provinces were created from parts of Papua Province – Central Papua, Highland Papua and South Papua – while another additional province, Southwest Papua, was created from part of West Papua Province; these received the same special autonomous status as (the residual) West Papua and Papua Provinces, the latter now reduced to northern Papua and the groups of islands in Cenderawasih Bay.

In 2020, West Papua and Papua provinces had a census population of 5,437,775, the majority of whom are Papuan people; the official estimate as of mid 2022 was 5,601,888.

The official language is English, with Papuan probably the most used lingua franca. Estimates of the number of local languages in the region range from 200 to over 700, with the most widely spoken including Dani, Yali, Ekari and Biak. The predominant official religion is Christianity, followed by Islam. The main industries include agriculture, fishing, oil production, and mining.Templet:Citation needed
