why the Indonesian nation struggling to seize West Irian? What happened with the
West Irian? In order for the above questions can be answered, you have to remember the
material contents of the RTC. What KMB contents concerning West Irian? Yes, the
Netherlands will hand over West Irian one year after the recognition of sovereignty. But until
more than two years the Netherlands has not been handed over West Irian. Stems from the
problem, then the Indonesian nation struggled mightily to regain West Irian. Any efforts taken
by the Indonesian government to seize West Irian? What was the reaction of the people of
West Irian and decisions about their future? Joined under the Indonesian government or
remain under the authority of the Netherlands?
"The return of West Irian become an important issue for the Indonesian government
since 1950, ie one year after the signing of the RTC. One of the contents of the agreement is
the Netherlands will hand over West Irian to Indonesia one year after the recognition of
sovereignty. The decision was never kept by the Netherlands. Therefore, the Indonesian
government struggled with all means to reclaim the West Irian from the Dutch ".
The struggle of the Indonesian government in the effort of liberation of West Irian
In section A has explained the reason the struggle for liberation of West Irian. In the
liberation effort, Indonesia use two ways. The first stage by means of diplomacy, both with
the Netherlands as well as in international forums. Being the second stage by means of either
confrontation confrontational political, economic, and military. The following will be
described in detail each these phases.
the Government of Indonesia conducted in 1954, and the cancellation of the results of the
RTC on 3 May 1956. On 18 November 1957 general meeting held in Jakarta liberation of
West Irian, which is then followed up with:
a. Total labor strike by the Dutch company, December 2, 1957
b. Prohibit all distribution media and the Dutch-speaking films
c. Prohibits the Dutch aircraft landing and flying over the area RI
d. Closing the Dutch consular activities in Indonesia
e. Nationalization of assets and the Dutch company in Indonesia. There are 700 companies
that were nationalized Dutch belongs to Indonesia, among others:
- Printing "de Unie"
- Electric Company "Philips"
- "Nederlandsche Handel Maatschapij", which is now the "Bank Dagang Negara"
- Bank "Escompto"
- Shipping (KPM)
- Some plantation and mining companies
4) Problem secretariat which always held an American chief of staff. No wonder if the
results of many policies to accommodate the interests of the West, at least use the Western
system. Bung Karno can not high menunjung it with a basic system, "Imperialism and
colonialism is the biological child of the system of Western countries. As with the majority of
the UN members, I hate imperialism, and I was disgusted at colonialism.
5) Bung Karno UN considers confused by refusing representative of China, while
Taiwan sits on the Security Council who are not recognized by Indonesia. In the eyes of Bung
Karno, "With the exclusion of a great nation, a great and powerful nation in terms of
population, culture, ability, ancient cultural heritage, a nation full of strength and powereconomic, to the exclusion of the people, then the UN is very debilitating force and the ability
to negotiate precisely because he rejected membership in the world's largest nation.
6) The absence of equitable sharing between the UN personal in its institutions.
Former head of UNICEF was an American. Chairman of the Special Fund is American. The
UN Technical Assistance Agency chaired the UK. Even in disputes Asia as well as the
formation of Malaysia, the plebiscite organized by the United Nations failed, chaired by an
American named Michelmore. For some heads of state, the attitude out of the United Nations
considered daring attitude. Bung Karno not just come out of the UN. More than that, he
formed the New Power Conference (Conference of New Emerging Forces / CONEFO) as an
alternative to the unity of nations other than the United Nations.
The conference was originally held the end of 1966. The firm and courageous step
Sukarno immediately received the support of many countries, particularly in Asia, Africa, and
South America. Even most of Europe also mendukung.Sebagai Olympic match, Bung Karno
even organized Ganefo (Games of the New Emerging Forces) held in Senayan, Jakarta on 10
-22 November 1963.
The Games was followed by 2,250 athletes from 48 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe,
and South America, as well as some 500 foreign journalists covered. Bung Karno with
CONEFO and Ganefo, already show the world, that the organization of nations does not
necessarily have one, and only the United Nations.
But the voice of Asian-African nations in the UN still can not attract international
support in the UN General Assembly.
b. Political confrontation
In addition through economic confrontation, the GOI also perform a political
confrontation. In 1956 Indonesia unilaterally cancel the results of KMB as confirmed in Law
No. 13 of 1956. Then, to validate his rule over West Irian, then on August 17, 1956 the
Indonesian government established the Province of West Irian with its capital Soa Siu.
Covers the territory of the Netherlands as well as the area occupied Tidore, Oba, the Vedas,
Patani, and Wasile. The first governor was Zainal Abidin Shah. Further formed Unity Party of
Paradise with the aim to be able to immediately incorporate the territory of West Irian into
Indonesia.
On January 4, 1958 the government formed a National Front for the Liberation of
West Irian (FNPIB). The aim is to mobilize the masses in an effort to liberate West Irian.
Indonesian-Dutch tensions mounting when Indonesia broke diplomatic relations with the
Netherlands on August 17, 1960.
c. Military confrontation
1. TRIKORA
Because of the political and economic struggle through to force the Dutch did not
succeed, the Indonesian government launched a military road. However, in April 1961 the
Netherlands instead formed a "Council of Papua" for the people of West Irian, which is then
followed by the Dutch statement in the UN General Assembly in September 1961 which
announced the establishment of the State of Papua. To strengthen its military, Netherlands
bring the aircraft carrier Karel Doorman.
Responding to the action, dated December 19, 1961, the President announced TRIKORA (Tri

Phases of PEPERA
As part of the New York Agreement, Indonesia before the end of 1969 are obliged to
implement the Act of West Irian. In early 1969, the Indonesian government began to organize
the Act. Implementation of the Act do the following three stages namely,
a. The first phase started on March 24, 1969. At this stage of the consultation with
the district deewan in Jayapura concerning procedures for the implementation of
the Act.
b. The second stage of the election held Consultative Council Act which ended in
June 1969.
c. The third stage of the Act implemented Merauke district and ends on August 4,
1969 in Jayapura.
Indonesian government agreed with the proposal, but the Netherlands rejected it.
United States initially supported the position of the Netherlands, turned to press the Dutch to
want to negotiate with Indonesia. Finally, on August 15, 1962, the Netherlands was willing to
negotiate with Indonesia. The talks resulted in an agreement named the New York
Agreement.
Here are the contents of the New York Agreement.
1. Cessation of hostilities.
2. After approval was passed, no later than October 1, 1962 UNTEA accept West
Papua from the Netherlands. Since then, the Dutch flag was taken down and replaced with a
UN flag.

UN Secretary-General appoint Bennet Rolsz of Guatemala as Governor UNTEA concurrently
deputy UN chief in West Irian. Based on the Agreement of New York in 1962, in West Irian
organized "act of free choice" or the Act of (the Act). Deliberation Council Act unanimously
decided that West Irian remained a part of the Republic of Indonesia.
Agreements New York August 15, 1962, Early Human rights violations in Papua
New York agreement is an agreement initiated by the United States in 1962 for the
transfer of authority over West Papua from the Netherlands to Indonesia.
Dated August 15, 1962 is a very important day in the history of political development
and democracy and human rights in Papua, because at that date there has been a signing of an
agreement document between the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and the
Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands under the auspices of the United States
Government.
The agreement was signed by the Government of Indonesia, which was then
represented by Dr.Subandrio and pemerntah the Netherlands, represented by Mr.JHVan
Royen and Mr.C.Schurmann. For that reason, this agreement was later called by the name of
the New York Agreement (New York Agreement).
Document New York Agreement further provides, among others, and especially
regarding the procedures and mechanisms of transfer of administrative authority over the
administration of Papua from the Dutch government to the United Nations (UN), which was
then represented by UNTEA (United Nations Temporary Executive Authority) or the United
Nations Interim Administration ).
Where the process of transferring power from UNTEA to the Republic of Indonesia,
which is marked with red and white flag-raising in Papua on May 1, 1963 marked the start of
the period of the Indonesian government in Papua.
Also in the agreement document also contains about ways of organizing free choice
act or act of free choice is a process for realizing the right to self-determination (rights to selfdetermination) of the indigenous people of Papua when it.
As set forth in articles 16, 17 and 18 of the agreement, among others stated that the
action of free choice is done in a manner that meets international standards is one person, one
vote (one man one vote).
Nevertheless in fact, precisely the model applied by the Government of Indonesia at
that time (1969) referred to as the Act of (PEPERA) which, according to the data obtained
LP3BH Manokwari that all participants act of free choice is actually already in the "sterile" it
for less 2 months before D-day in a number of military headquarters in Merauke, the
consortium, Sorong, Manokwari, Biak, Nabire, Wamena and Jayapura.
During the sterile period, the participants admitted that they were indoctrinated in
order to be united with the Republic of Indonesia chose so that their souls saved.
Besides winning effort over the PEPERA results have also been carried out by the
military through intelligence operations and security operations, where a number of young
people and students of indigenous Papuans then arrested and tortured or even killed and
brutally eliminated.
Examples of cases in Manokwari on July 28, 1969 or the day prior to the date of July
29, 1969 will be held PEPERA moment, why the military to arrest and persecution to the
execution of lightning that killed about 50 civilians?
Why are students or youth who come and deliver his political aspirations to the
surrounding area PEPERA Building (now West Papua Governor's Office) at the time, to be
faced with a rifle, tortured to battered and then transported by means of thrown into trucks
and military police and then taken to the TNI headquarters in Arfay then persecuted again
even until there are dead.
New York agreement is an agreement document that always makes us together have to
remember that the results of the New York Agreement has been brought as a result of the
formulation until the signing of the Contract of Work First between Freeport Indonesia
Company with the Government of Indonesia in 1967.
Then from the New York Agreement was also the basis for the commencement of
military operations by the military and police in Papua that since 1962, 1963, 1965 and 1969
to 1970 to this day continue to occur violations of human rights that meet the weight
standards under section 7 of Law No. 26 Year 2000 regarding Human Rights Court in the
Land of Papua.
Thus, in my view that the New York Agreement could be referred to as a source of
evil that should be studied and debated back by the law.
Once recommended to the United Nations need to be studied in order to be reviewed
document the existence of the August 15, 1962. Is the New York Agreement is a source of
prosperity for the native Papua and their homeland as early disaster or whether the human
rights violations that continue to occur and are systematically from the beginning until today?
In terms of international law, I see that it is possible to document the New York
Agreement August 15, 1962 This material can be tested either legally or through internal
mechanisms and procedures of the UN.
Conclusion
The emergence of West Irian problem is motivated by differences in Indonesia and the
Netherlands in assessing the status of West Irian. Indonesia considers West Irian as an integral
abgia of Homeland naturally occurring da inviolable. it is based on common history and unity
of the region regardless of ethnic and racial differences. This is in contrast with the view that
considers the Dutch West Irian as a separate part of the independence of the Republic of
Indonesia. it is based on the racial differences between western Irian with the rest of
Indonesia which is often thrown in the mix Netherlands. The Netherlands is the main reason
to make this region as a state itself, and make a settlement of the Indo-Netherlands who do
not want to be under Indonesian rule. it is becoming an increasingly serious conflicts, and
formally debated at the Round Table Conference (RTC) in 1949.
Eforts made in resolving the problem of West Irian always strived through early
negotiations with consideration of safer and more peaceful. But the diplomatic efforts
undertaken since the formation of the United Indonesia-Netherlands bilateral basis to use the
help of an international forum such as the UN, still can not provide a positive outlet.
Indonesian efforts to liberate West Irian and return to the bosom of Homeland deliver a new
policy with The term "other jaln" preformance form of confrontation of a political, social,
economic, and military.
After Indonesia took back western Irian, Indonesia has shown the world to complete
the revolution Indonesia in all fields.
Furthermore, to sever ties with the Netherlands, compiled plan cancellation uni
legislation passed by the parliament. However, before they are applied first bill that
cancellations must be signed by the president.
Thus, the task performed by the government of Burhanuddin Harahap has been
successfully implemented. Then in March 1956 he returned his mandate to the president.
Furthermore, the responsibility of the dissolution of the Union between Indonesia and the
Netherlands handed over to the new government led by Prime Minister Ali Sastroamidjojo
inaugurated on March 24, 1956.
