“Indonesia as a member of the MSG association must respect the 2023 MSG Summit Communiqué, namely allowing the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to visit West Papua within the specified time”
“This is a long-standing appeal that has been postponed by the Indonesia occupier since 2018-2019. Now, it can’t be postponed any longer. The UN must be allowed into West Papua to see firsthand what is happening and what the Indonesia occupier hiding from the international communities.”
