Resources for West Papua Independence Campaigns

Books, Papers and Articles have been regularly published and made available on this independence campaign website.

We prefer presenting all materials produced by Papuans, but some important documents by foreign authors which show the truth of condition in West Papua are also provided in order to broaden our understanding about the case and cause of West Papua's struggle for independence or external self-determination.

In addition, there are also press releases and letters and public opinion on the movement.

Besides our news updates, we view that these documents are useful in our efforts on educating the world on the cause. Our goal is that the world understands our position and act according to the understanding to support West Papua independence movement.

Some articles on the opinion of the Indonesian government on the cases put forward in this website are also presented to give broader views of the problems and or conflicting arguments.

The goal of these materials are to bring the two sides to a peace negotiation to resolve the conflicts (differing arguments and opinions), mainly on the History of West Papua's recolonisation by Indonesia in the 1960s.

This paper argues that the Decolonisation of West Papua was a "recolonisation" by the Indonesian neo-colonial power. Therefore, West Papua is not yet free from colonialism up till now. This paper argues against Indonesian claim that Former Dutch Colonies are all Indonesian Territories by pointing out historical, political, socio-cultural and geographical reasons why West Papua is not an integral part of Indonesia whatsoever. The core of this paper is on the Historical Review which explains clearly that West Papua has never been part of Indonesian histories during pre-colonial period or even during colonial time.
