behalf of our Brothers and Sisters in West Papua to help give voice to
their fight for freedom, the fight for their to right to
self-determination. This being just 2 days after the birthday of one of

and courageous fight for their freedom, against a racist and brutal
occupation of their land
These days when I wake up in the morning and read about ongoing
developments in West Papua, including the just published West Papua

The 22nd Session of the Human Rights
Council (HRC) underscored the importance of robust engagement at the

masalah internalnya serta posisinya di Asia Tenggara daripada
berdiplomasi dengan negara-negara Melanesia.

Victoria, Wellington, Selandia Baru dalam wawancaranya dengan Radio
Australia (20/03) mengatakan sudah lazim terjadi dimana isu-isu
