The human rights annual reports of the US State Department and Amnesty International have regularly included reports on the systematic human rights abuses in West Papua. While the Irish Parliament and the European Parliament did the same, the Irish Parliament also made an appeal to its government to bring the West Papua case back to the UN to be re-deliberated. This progress is not only a result of the dynamic movement inside West Papua but also a result of the persistant support of solidarity groups outside West Papua. The most important priority of our strategy is the pursuance of a Human Development Programme. This programme includes educational projects.
Education is the prime mover in the development process.
Education of the oppressed people is to make them conscious of their reality so that they will be in a position to transform the reality itself. Educational projects should be carried out with the West Papuan people in the process of organising them. A permanent state of liberation should be created and strengthened by educating the West Papuan people themselves. Indonesia is only one element of larger global oppression. To develop a strong solidarity movement based on the human values to protect ourselves against injustices and even to resist the global oppression, we need friends in all corners of the world.
