II.
THE ASSASSINATION
OF
A STATE AND NATION In
the light of Resolution 1514 (XV) 14 December 1960, Declaration On The
Granting Of Independence To Colonial Countries And Peoples: UNGA,…
Mindful of the determination proclaimed by the peoples of the world in the
Charter of The United Nations to reaffirm faith in fundamental Human
Rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights
of men and women, and of nations large and small and to promote social
progress and better standards of life in larger freedom (Para. 01) … UNGA,..
Aware of the increasing conflicts resulting from the denial or of
impediments in the way of the freedom of such (colonized) people, which
constitutes a serious threat to world peace, (Para. 04) … Immediate
steps shall be taken, In Trust and Non-Self-Governing Territories or all
other territories which have not yet attained independence, to transfer
all powers to the people of those territories, WITHOUT ANY CONDITIONS OR
RESERVATIONS, in accordance with their freely expressed will and desire,
WITHOUT ANY DISTINCTION as to race, creed or colour, in order to enable
them to enjoy COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE AND FREEDOM (Para. 13, Article 5) …
Unilateral
territorial transfer of West Papua from its former Political Status as a
Non-Self-Governing Territory to its current provincial status under
Indonesia is clearly defined as “KILLING
OF A STATE AND NATION’ - it has become the root of all current Human
Rights Violations in the territory.
II.1.
West Papua:
A Non-Self-Governing Territory “UNGA,
...Solemnly proclaims the necessity of bringing to a speedy and
unconditional end, colonialism in all its form and manifestation (Para.
11)” Based on Article 73 (a) and (b) of the Charter, upon UNGA request, a
colonial territorial assessment was carried out in 1946, by eight states
(Australia, Belgium, Denmark, The Netherlands, New Zealand, UK, and the
USA). Based on the
territorial assessment made, 72 (seventy two colonies) throughout the
world were formally declared as Non-Self-Governing Territory, including
West Papua, which had to be prepared for Decolonization, for which
purpose, UNGA Resolution 66 (I) of December 14, 1946, containing a
Decolonization List was adopted. In the Round Table Conference between Indonesia and The Netherlands in
1949, the head of the Indonesian Delegation, former Vice President, Mr.
Mohammed Hatta had clearly stated, that he recognized the rights of the
West Papuans as a nation to become independent. The statement had cut out all argumentations
raised around the inclusion of West Papua as an integral part of the
Republic. The case was
dropped. What was
done by Soekarno a couple of decades later was merely based on his
expansionism ambitions. Based on the Netherlands Government Official Gazette J.576 of December
22, 1949, it was decided that West New Guinea, would become autonomous, in
the early 1950. The process
was established, whereby West New Guinea, separated from the Moluccas
Regency to become an autonomous territory, headed by a Governor. II.2. UNGA Resolution
1514 (XV), 14 Dec. 1960 and its related
DISSEMINATION of information.
In its Resolution 1695 (XVI) the General Assembly, recalling the
‘Declaration On The granting Of Independence To Colonial Countries And
Peoples’ contained in its resolution 1514 (XV), considered that it was
essential that the people of the Non-Self-Governing Territories be widely
acquainted with the declaration. The Administering Members were requested
to take immediate steps for the widest possible circulation and
dissemination of the Declaration, through all appropriate media of mass
communication in all The Non-Self-Governing Territories in the principal
local languages as well as the languages of the Administering Members.
West Papuans were officially INFORMED on the process of their
freedom by the United Nations. After noting the observations of the Committee on Information, the
General Assembly adopted Resolution 1697 (XVI) on 19 December 1961, based
on considerations that in the light of the ‘declaration’ contained in
its Resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960, IMMEDIATE STEPS SHOULD BE
TAKEN TO TRANSFER ALL POWERS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE NON-SELF-GOVERNING
TERRITORIES WITHOUT ANY CONDITIONS OR RESER-VATIONS. II.3.
Territorial Transfer …Inadequacy
of political, economic, social or educational preparedness
should never serve as
pretext for delaying independence (Para. 13
Article 3). Indonesia’s territorial claim on West Papua was merely based on
Soekarno’s expansionist ambitions - no legal ground. A special Legalistic Approach designed by the USA to assist the
accomplishment of Soekarno’s ambitions - based on ideological
manipulation in cold-war economics and politics - was instrumental in the
territorial transfer process. The
mediating role of the US diplomat Bunker had totally dictated the Acting
UN Secretary-General (U Thant)’s responsibility to ensure and enforce
fair implementation of the ‘declaration’ in the accomplishment of West
Papuan Decolonization process. II.4.
Denial & Removal From Decolonization
ABORTION of West Papua as a Non-Self-Governing Territory in the process
to its full independence and its subsequent REMOVAL from the UN
Decolonization List was a serious violation against UNGA Resolution 1514
(XV) and other related universally applied principles. The
self-explanatory contents of all UNGA Resolutions, related to the
Political Status and the Decolonization Process of West Papua are still
applicable. Political
Status: No articles
in the UNGA Resolution 2504 (XXIV) of 19 November 1969, clearly defines UN
General Assembly’s decisions on: 1. The
REMOVAL of West Papua from UN
Decolonization List, 2. The
ABORTION of West Papua from its
Decolonization Process (Process To Freedom), 3. The
DENIAL of West Papua from its
international status as ‘Non-Self-Governing Territory’, and The
UN General Assembly’s recognition on:
4. The ‘New National
Political Status’ of West Papua as a territory, integral part
of Indonesia. |
