Regional forum in Tuvalu ‘strongly encourages’ Indonesia to finalise UN visit to troubled province
The United Nations high commissioner for human rights should investigate the deteriorating human rights situation in West Papua within a year, Pacific nations have resolved, as independence protests in the province were quashed by police with widespread arrests and one leader described it as the “festering human rights sore of the region”.
Pacific leaders “strongly encouraged” Indonesia to finalise the timing of a visit by the UN high commissioner to investigate the reported human rights abuses – including torture, extrajudicial killings, and systemic police and military violence – so the commissioner could provide an “evidence-based, informed report” before next year’s Pacific Islands Forum.
