Papua
history lesson
No matter how compelling the case for independence in West Papua or Irian
Jaya as it is known the argument has always faltered over one indisputable
fact: the United Nations recognised the integration of Irian Jaya into
Indonesia in 1969 after a representative referendum. Now, the senior UN
official who ran the ballot has claimed the pivotal ``act of free
choice" was a ``sham", intended as a quick fix for the

Papuan
martyr
When the path of peaceful negotiation proves as perilous as that of
guerilla warfare there seems little to do but walk away from the
negotiating table. The wrecking of delicate negotiations over the status
of Indonesia's contested province of Irian Jaya also known as West Papua
appears to be the aim of those who kidnapped and murdered the popular
leader of the pro-independence movement, Theys Eluay. Mr Eluay, who
received a martyr's burial this weekend after a week of mourning, was at
