Human Rights Watch Campaigns Against 'Killer Robots'

Technology is moving fast when it comes to "autonomous systems" - intelligent machines that perform tasks with little or no human guidance.

In modern warfare, drones and other unmanned vehicles are playing an increasing role, with militaries embracing a technology that they say makes war safer and more effective. But human rights campaigners fear what might be to come - fully autonomous weapons that could select and engage targets without human intervention - and they want a new global treaty to stop that from happening.

​​In Israel, the country's missile defense system, the Iron Dome, autonomously senses the threat of an incoming rocket and sends a warning to an operator, who then gives the command to fire a missile. 

Human Rights Watch has jointly published a report with the Harvard Law School's International Rights Clinic arguing that within 30 years militaries could be armed with autonomous "killer robots."

"There also needs to be a public discussion around some of the wider applications, such as in the use of disaster management and humanitarian relief," said Rosemont. "These technologies can be deployed and have been in those circumstances, and that should be part of the wider discussion in what we think of as autonomy."

He said robots could well do the world plenty of good in the years to come. France sent remote controlled robots to Japan to help contain the Fukushima nuclear disaster last year - just one job better left to machines.

Indonesia: Effective mechanisms critical for justice, truth and reparation for women survivors of gross human rights violations

As the world marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, in Indonesia, many women survivors of crimes under international law and gross human rights violations continue to be denied their rights to justice, truth and reparation.

Amnesty International urges the Presidential Advisory Council, which is understood to be developing a plan to deal with past gross human rights violations, to ensure that the plan contains timetabled steps to adequately address the situation of women survivors of conflict.

Women and girls suffered gross human rights violations, including unlawful killings, rape and other crimes of sexual violence and torture and other ill-treatment committed by Indonesian security forces during conflicts in various regions including Aceh and during the occupation of Timor-Leste (1975-1999).

Many have had no access to adequate medical, psychological, sexual and reproductive or mental health services or treatment for harm caused by these violations. And for those women and girls who were victims of sexual and gender-based violence, the stigma associated with these crimes has created a culture of silence in which many fear to report their case, and which prevents them from accessing justice, truth and reparation.

Women and girls not only suffer as direct victims of human rights violations, but also indirectly as family members of those who were killed or subjected to enforced disappearance. Under international law the Indonesian government has an obligation to provide full and effective reparation to victims of human rights violations. A national reparation programme should be established to provide measures of restitution, compensation, rehabilitation, satisfaction, and guarantees of non-repetition. Amnesty International calls on the authorities to devise such a programme in consultation with victims, paying particular attention to consulting women, and to take into account the different experiences of women and men, as well as children, in its design and implementation.

Amnesty International welcomes the announcement by the government during the UN Human Rights Council session in September that it was working to finalize a bill establishing a truth and reconciliation commission. The failure of the authorities to date to establish a national truth commission has left many victims, including women and girls, without an effective mechanism for truth and full and effective reparation.

However, a truth commission must not be used as a substitute for a proper criminal justice process. Where a truth commission gathers information indicating individual criminal responsibility, it should forward such information, to the relevant prosecution authorities for further investigation, in order that, where sufficient admissible evidence exists, those responsible for crimes under international law are brought to justice in fair proceedings without recourse to the death penalty.

A truth commission should not have power to recommend amnesties or similar measures of impunity with respect to crimes under international law. In 2006, the Indonesian Constitutional Court struck down the Law on a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (No. 27/2004) ruling that an article in it which provided reparation for victims only after they agreed to an amnesty for the perpetrator, was unconstitutional.

Amnesty International calls on Parliament to immediately debate, enact and implement a new law establishing a truth commission that is in line with international law and standards to ensure that crimes under international law can be addressed effectively.

Similar concerns and recommendations have also been raised by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW Committee). In its Concluding Observations, published on 27 July 2012, the CEDAW Committee urged Indonesia to promptly investigate, prosecute and punish all acts of violence against women, including acts of sexual violence, perpetrated by private actors and by the security forces and to take comprehensive measures to provide medical and psychological support to women victims of violence, including sexual violence, committed during the conflicts, and to establish counselling centres for women. Amnesty International urges the Indonesian government to implement these recommendations without delay.

Indonesia: Lift Restrictions on Reporting, Access to Papua

Invite UN Rights Experts to Increasingly Violent Eastern Provinces

"By keeping Papua behind a curtain, the Indonesian government is fostering impunity among military forces and resentment among Papuans. It needs to let the media and civil society shine a light on conditions in the province".Elaine Pearson, deputy Asia director 

New York,--  The Indonesian government should allow foreign media and civil society groups access to Papua to report on violence and rights violations since May that have left at least 14 dead.

Human Rights Watch urged Indonesia to accept calls made at the United Nations Human Rights Council to permit access to the province and to issue standing invitations to UN human rights experts.

“By keeping Papua behind a curtain, the Indonesian government is fostering impunity among military forces and resentment among Papuans,” said Elaine Pearson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “It needs to let the media and civil society shine a light on conditions in the province.”

Human Rights Watch said that the Indonesian government has failed to hold to account those responsible for recent violence in Papua. On June 6, 2012, a crowd stabbed one Indonesian soldier to death and seriously injured another after their motorcycle struck a Papuan child in Honai Lama District in Wamena, a city in Papua’s Central Highlands.

In retaliation, hundreds of soldiers from the 756^th battalion swept through Honai Lama and elsewhere in Wamena, beating and stabbing residents and burning homes. A Papuan civil servant, Elianus Yoman, reportedly died from bayonet wounds. Seven other Papuans were injured and hospitalized. The soldiers set numerous buildings and motor vehicles on fire, causing many villagers to flee into surrounding forest.

An Indonesian military spokesman in Jayapura, Papua’s capital, initially denied that soldiers had injured any Papuans. But Indonesia’s president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, later conceded that the Indonesian security forces overreacted in their response.

There have been a number of other violent incidents reported recently in Papua’s capital. Since May 23, unknown gunmen shot dead several non-Papuan migrants. A German tourist was shot on May 29 and was sent for treatment to a hospital in Singapore. The police forcibly broke up a protest on June 4 by the National Committee for West Papua (Komite Nasional Papua Barat or KNPB), a militant Papuan independence group, reportedly killing three student members. A KNPB member was also reported shot to death earlier on May 1.

The response of the national government to the growing violence in Papua has been inadequate, Human Rights Watch said. Yudhoyono told reporters on June 12, “The action [attacks in Papua] can be said to have happened on a small scale with limited victims.… The figure is far [lower] than the violence in the Middle East, [where] we can witnesses, every day, attacks and violence with huge numbers of deaths.”

“President Yudhoyono should stop making excuses for his government’s failure to investigate the violence,” said Pearson. “Allowing full access to the province for UN rights experts, the press, and other monitors could curtail the rumors and misinformation that often fuel abuses.”

The Indonesia government sharply restricts access to its easternmost provinces, Papua and West Papua. Military forces have been deployed there since 1963 to counter a long-simmering independence movement. Foreigners are required to obtain a special permit to visit the areas. Such permits are routinely denied or the processing delayed, hampering efforts by journalists and civil society groups to report on breaking events.

During the Universal Periodic Review of Indonesia at the UN Human Rights Council on May 23, France called on Indonesia to ensure free access for civil society and journalists to Papua and West Papua. The United Kingdom noted the “increase in violence” in Papua and “encouraged Indonesia to tackle violence against minority faiths and accept visit requests by Special Rapporteurs.” Austria, Chile, the Maldives, and South Korea called on Indonesia to accept standing invitations to the UN rights experts and groups known as special procedures. Mexico specifically asked the Indonesian government to invite the special rapporteurs to Papua.

The previous UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, Philip Alston, made a request to visit Indonesia in 2004 and again in 2008, to which he never received a response.

“Several states registered concerns at the UN Human Rights Council about Indonesia’s failure to invite UN experts to the country,” said Pearson. “If Indonesia wants to be taken seriously in Geneva, it shouldn’t continue to ignore this request.”

Antara Penguasa dan Dikuasa di Pspus Barat

Oleh: Honaratus Pigai

 

Kemarginalan Orang asli Papua.

Orang asli Papua benar-benar terpinggirkan dan dikuasai dari tanah leluhurnya sendiri. Hal ini, dapat dilihat dari contoh, mama-mama pedagang asli Papua yang hingga kini berjualan di pinggir jalan dan emperan-emperan tokoh. Mereka menahan hantaman teriknya matahari dan derasnya hujan dengan beralaskan lantai tanah dan beratap langit. Hanya demi mencari nafkah hidup sehari-hari. Begitu banyak kebijakan dari pemerintahan pusat hingga daerah pun belum dan bahkan tidak menyentuh kehidupan pasar mama-mama Papua.

Untuk menanggapi hak hidup mereka, Solidaritas Pedagang Asli Papua (SOLPAP), yang terdiri dari organisasi-organisasi telah berupaya untuk menuntut hak hidup mama-mama ini. SOLPAP berjuag ke pemerintah dan meminta pembangunan pasar yang layak bagi mama-mama Papua, namun sampai saat ini pasar tersebut belum jadi. Pihak yang berwenang, dalam hal ini pemerintah Indonesia di Papua (Gubernur, DPRP, Walikota Jayapura dan jajarannya) tak pernah menanggapi usulan ini secara serius. Malah usaha yang dilakukan tim SOLPAP seringkali mendapat tantangan. Karena antara pihak pemerintah sendiri saling melempar dan mengaburkan. Janji-janji pun tidak terjawab dan bahkan kadang-kala janji itu hanya bohong. Akibatnya, mama-mama Papua masih berdagang di tempat yang tidak layak.

Sementara orang BBMJ (Bugis, Buton, Makasar dan Jawa) mendapatkan tempat yang layak. Mereka benar-benar menikmati fasilitas pemerintah Indonesia di Papua dalam kerangka Otsus di Papua. Itu wajar, karena orang asli Papua bukan orang Indonesia, sehingga fasilitas yang disiapkan Indonesia dinikmati oleh rakyat Indonesia yang berada di negri Papua ini. Katanya para pendatang dan Otsus memberdayakan orang asli Papua. Realitasnya tidak seperti itu. 

Kaum non Papua dan Otsus menjadi penguasa yang menguasai orang asli Papua dengan segala macam trik. (Socratez Sofyan Yoman, Pintu Menuju Papua Merdeka: Pejanju=ian New York 15 Agustus 1962 dan PEPERA 1969 Hanya Sandiwara Politik Amerika, Indonesia, Belanda dan PBB, 2000)

Dengan termarginalnya rakyat asli Papua di tanahnya sendiri adalah tidak mendapatkan fasilitas yang layak, namun tetap semangat berjualan di berjualan di tempat yang seadanya. Ini merupakan penindasan dan tidak adanya keadilan juga pemerataan. Apakah ini kalah saing? (Yoman, 2000).

Bukan hanya dalam hal ekonomi saja, melainkan dalam segala segi kehidupan; politik, kebudayaan, sosial, dan sebagainya. Orang asli Papua mendapatkan tekanan mental maupun fisik yang dahsyat. Mereka diperlakukan tidak adil dan benar. Sampai diperbodohi secara licik dengan berbagai strategi yang dimaikan. Yang membuat orang asli Papua “bimbang” dan bahkan tidak percaya kepada pemerintah yang selalu manipulatif. Dalam hal ini pemerintah semacam “latihan lain main lain”. Pemerintah sering berjanji akan berikan ini atau itu, tetapi tidak terlaksana. Inilah janji yang membohongi dan janji-janji palsu yang sering terdengar dari mulut pemerintah.

Contoh singkat janji bohong yang dialami mama-mama Papua bisa disimak seperti berikut: Bapak kita, yang mulia Barnabas Suebu, pernah berjanji dengan mulutnya sendiri bahwa mulutnya adalah SK. Ia pernah berjanji akan membangun pasar mama-mama tetapi sampai kini hal itu tidak pernah terjawab.

Sekarang juga mulai muncul masalah ketidak jelasan dana awal pembangunan yang dijanjikan Pjs. Hatari sebesar 10 milyar. Dana tersebut oleh badan keuangan provinsi pendahkan ke PU provinsi untuk pekerjaan pembangunan pasar, sementara lokasi yang mau direncanakan untuk pembangunan itu belum dibereskan secara tuntas. Sementara kantanya ada 15 milyar untuk membereskan lokasi tersebut, padahal pada bulan juni lalu pemerintah berjanji akan bereskan lokasi pembangunan tersebut. Maka di sini ada sikap pembiaran dan terkesan pemerintah yang adalah orang asli Papua sedang mempermainkan mama-mama Papua dengan janji-janji yang tidak benar.

Kesenjangan Antara Penguasa dan Dikuasa

Kesenjangan ini dinilai sebagai potensi kebohongan dan ketidakadilan. Ini merupakan ketimpangan yang cukup serius di Papua. Pembangunan di Papua umumnya mengarah ke ketimpangan ini. Orang mulai membedakan antara penguasa dan dikuasa. Sang penguasa mulai menari-nari di atas mimbar, atas tingkahlaku yang konyol. Ia merasa berhasil bahwa bisa menguasa manusia, alam dan kekayaan yang ada di Papua. Lebih sadis, sikap otoriter dan membunuh bila ada yang menyeleweng dari padanya.

Misalnya dalam segi ekonomi, bila dibandingkan dengan negara lain, Indonesia tergolong miskin. Pertumbuhan ekonomi telah melahirkan kesenjangan sosial antara penguasa dan dikuasa. Kebijaksanaan pembangunan yang memprioritaskan pertumbuhan ekonomi belum berhasil meningkatkan keberhasilan yang memadai. Sehingga seantero daerah di negara kesatuan republik Indonesia mengalami upah buruk.

Di Papua khususnya. Bagi orang lain, Papua dipandang kaya. Namun, yang kaya bukan orang asli Papua, tapi alam Papua. Alam Papua memang terkenal kaya, tapi alam Papua memperkaya orang non Papua yang ada di Papua. Orang asli Papua sendiri miskin di atas kekayaannya. Antara penguasa dan dikuasa memainkan peran, sehingga yang dikuasa mengalami nasip buruk atas ulah penguasa yang tidak adil dan bijaksana. Orang asli Papua mengalami situasi dikuasa oleh yang penguasa. Mereka bagaikan seorang penonton atas pengurasan kekayaan alamnya. Mulut mereka ditutup rapat-rapat. Mereja mau menurunkan penguasa dari mimbar kekayaan, tetapi semuanya ditanggapi dengan ancaman.

Otonomi Khusus (Otsus) misalnya, yang diberlakukan di Papua sejak 2001, diharapkan dapat menjadi pedang yang memberantas kesenjangan ini dan dapat menyamakan antara penguasa dan dikuasa. Namun tidak mencapai harapan itu. Malah dengan adanya Otsus menimbulkan kesenjangan yang lebih besar. Sehingga penguasa tetap menari terus-menerus di mimbar kekayaan dan yang dikuasa meratap atas kekayaan yang semakin hari hilang dibawa.

Kebanyakan orang asli Papua yang menyuarakan bahwa Otus gagal, karena tidak menjawab kebutuhan rakyat yang dikuasa adalah pernyataan yang sesungguhnya benar. Atas realitas di Papua pernyataan ini tidak dapat dibantah, oleh seribu satu kebohongan. Papua sedang berada dalam penguasaan raja negara. Semena-mena ia mengatur segalanya, sampai melupakan yang tidak seharusnya dilupakan. UP4B sekalipun hanya kebijkan semu dan hanya mau mendatangkan malapetaka.

Ketika orang asli Papua menyampaikan pendapatnya atas nasib hidupnya. Tidak ditanggapi serius. Pemerintah menganggap bahwa yang dikuasa tidak perlu mengangkat suara banyak. Yang mengangkat suara harus ditindas dan dianiaya. Karena yang dikuasa tidak dapat mengatur penguasa.

Salah seorang teman (JB) pernah mengatakan dalam diskusi tentang realitas kehidupan mama-mama Papua, bahwa “orang kaya menjadi tetap kaya dan orang miskin tetap menjadi miskin”. Rasanya ungkapan ini benar. Realitas Papua sedang menuju ke arah itu. Orang yang kaya menjadi penguasa, sedangkan orang miskin menjadi yang dikuasa. Sehingga orang kaya tidak peduli lagi dengan orang miskin. Dibiarkan seorang miskin merana mencari kebutuhan tiap harinya, dengan mengumpulkan barang-barang bekas (botol aqua, fanta, cocacola, besi tua dan sebagainya). Apakah ini sikap adil dan memanusiakan manusia? Atau melihat manusia sebagai “sampah/binatang”?

Perlu Kesadaran

Antara penguasa dan dikuasa adalah dua subjek, yang sama-sama manusia. Tidak satu pun yang melebihi yang lain. Keduanya memiliki martabat yang sama yakni manusia. penguasa juga manusia dan yang dikuasa pun manusia. Ini sebenarnya harus menjadi modal dasar untuk saling membangun dan melengkapi kekurangan antar sesama manusia.

Label penguasa dan dikuasa seharusnya dihapuskan dan harus saling melengkapi sebagai manusia. maka pemerintah seharusnya mendengar dan sadar bahwa rakyat sedang membutuhkan sesuatu sehingga harus melengkapi kebutuhan umum yang dibutuhkan. Bukan membohongi dengan berbagai macam tindakan dan ungkapan yang berujung pada merugikan yang lain. Seharusnya pemerintah yang adalah orang asli Papua sendiri harus sadar dan mendukung kebutuhan umum dari mama-mama Papua ini. pasar yang diminta bukan untuk pribadi dan lembaga yang sedang berjuang, melainkan demi kepentingan dan kehidupan mama-mama pasar.

Mungkin saja pemerintah masih meragukan untuk membangun pasar, dengan pertimbangan mama-mama Papua tidak akan merawat gedung dengan baik. Tetapi kita bisa mengambil contoh bahwa ketika mama-mama Papua sehabis jualan di penggir jalan mereka selalu membersihkan dan menata kembali tempat jualan mereka sebelum pulang ke rumah. Maka bagi saya ini bukan alasan yang mendasar. Atau kah mungkin ada alasan lain yang membuat pemerintah tidak ingin membangun pasar, padahal perjuangan mama-mama Papua untuk meminta pembangunan pasar sudah sejak 2004 lalu. Alasan-alasan yang membuat pemikiran pemerintah terganjal ini harus dihapuskan dari benak dan menyadari bahwa mama-mama Papua adalah mama-mama kita bersama. Merekalah yang melahirkan kita sehingga bisa menduduki jabatan-jabatan tinggi seperti demikian, maka seharusnya disadari oleh kita semua sebagai manusia yang terlahir dari mama-mama.

SBY Disak untuk memastikan perempuan mendapatkan kebenaran, keadilan dan reparasi

Dibawah kekuasaan otoriter Suharto dan pada periode transisi, Indonesia mengalami serangkaian konflik yang ditandai dengan pelanggaran hak asasi manusia (HAM) serius. Perempuan dan anak perempuan menjadi target pemerkosaan dan kejahatan kekerasan seksual lainnya oleh pasukan keamanan dan kelompok bersenjata.. Walau beberapa konflik ini sudah berakhir, kemajuan dalam menuntas dan mencegah kejahatan seksual masih lemah.

Banyak perempuan yang menjadi korban belum mendapatkan perawatan atau pelayanan kesehatan yang diperlukan, baik itu medis, psikologis, atau kesehatan seksual dan reproduksi. Mereka menderita bukan hanya sebagai korban langsung konflik tapi juga secara tidak langsung sebagai anggota keluarga mereka yang terbunuh atau hilang.

Selain itu, upaya untuk membawa pelaku pemerkosaan dan kejahatan kekerasan seksual lainnya ke pertanggungjawaban hukum berlangsung secara tidak memadai dan bagi banyak perempuan, keadilan, kebenaran dan reparasi bagi kejahatan masa lalu itu tetap jauh dari kenyataan.Harapan telah muncul dengan laporan bahwa Presiden Indonesia telah menginstruksikan Dewan Pertimbangan Presiden untuk mengembangkan rencana untuk menuntaskan pelanggaran HAM serius masa lalu di Indonesia. Tindakan ini menyajikan kesempatan bagi kita semua untuk memberikan tekanan kepada pihak berwenang agar memastikan rencana itu berisi langkah-langkah untuk mengatasi situasi perempuan yang selamat dari konflik-konflik secara memadai.

Kami meminta anda untuk menandatangani petisi dibawah dan bergabung bersama korban yang selamat dan keluarga mereka dalam perjuangan meraih kebenaran, keadilan, dan reparasi. Tanda tangan anda akan dikirim ke Dewan Pertimbangan Presiden.

Yang terhormat Bapak Albert Hasibuan,Kami sangat khawatir dengan kondisi korban kekerasan seksual pada masa konflik di Aceh dan wilayah Indonesia lainnya, terus disangkal aksesnya ke keadilan, kebenaran, dan reparasi.Kami menyambut baik laporan bahwa Presiden telah menginstruksikan Dewan Pertimbangan Presiden untuk mengembangkan rencana untuk menyelesaikan masalah pelanggaran HAM serius masa lalu di Indonesia, dan mendesak pihak berwenang Indonesia untuk secepatnya mengambil langkah-langka berikut untuk menyelesaikan situasi perempuan yang selamat dari konflik:

• Membahas, mengesahkan dan mengimplementasikan pada kesempatan paling awal sebuah undang-undang baru tentang komisi kebenaran yang selaras dengan hukum dan standar internasional, memastikan kejahatan seksual dan kekerasan berbasis jender terhadap perempuan agar dituntaskan secara memadai.
• Membentuk sebuah program nasional dalam menyediakan reparasi yang penuh, efektif dan transformatif (termasuk restitusi, kompensasi, rehabilitasi, kepuasan dan penjaminan ketidakberulangan) kepada semua korban/ orang yang selamat atas pelanggaran HAM masa lalu.
• Memastikan semua pelanggaran HAM masa lalu baik yang dilakukan oleh negara atau aktor non-negara, agar diinvestigasi secara menyeluruh dan secara efektif dituntut ke pengadilan.

Protests calls for arrest of Indonesian President in London

Indonesian President Yudhoyono began his state visit. Protesters from human rights organisations and West Papua and Moluccan independence movements called for his arrest, an end to the killing of Papuans and the release of political prisoners.

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is a former war lord in East Timor where he was involved in operations leading to the deaths of thousands of civilians, and is now in charge of an ongoing genocide in West Papua, where 500,000 people are thought to have been killed. In West Papua there is no freedom of speech and raising the flag of Free West Papua which several at today's protest were waving results in imprisonment for 15 years.

According to campaigners from West Papua:

"Every day women and children are being raped, villages burned, elderly murdered, and lives destroyed. People are being put in prison for raising a flag, or assassinated in broad daylight."

The protesters were from various groups including Amnesty International, Survival, the Indonesian Human Rights movement Tapol, green campaigners Rainforest Rescue (Regenwald) as well as supporters of the Free West Papua campaign and the Moluccan independence movement.

Protesters condemned the UK Government for inviting a war criminal to come to the UK and treating him to the ceremony of a state visit. The claims made by the Indonesian government to be As well as calling for the release of political prisoners and an end to the killing, some of those present were also asking for the arrest of President Yudhoyono for war crimes. After seeing a documentary film about the continuing genocide in West Papua, a prominent UK businessman offered a bounty of £50,000 for a peaceful attempt to carry out a citizen's arrest on the president during his visit.

Alex Regent, a spokesman for the movement to arrest him told the Indonesian newspaper Harian Detik "We believe he should face justice as thousands of people are being killed in West Papua. We hope that many UK supporters will attempt to arrest the president during his upcoming trip, to help bring into focus what Indonesia is doing in West Papua."

As the web site says: "Your attempts to arrest this war criminal will, at this stage, be largely symbolic, but they will have great political resonance." They suggest that someone should calmly "approach Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and in a gentle fashion to lay a hand on his shoulder or elbow, in such a way that he cannot have any cause to complain of being hurt or trapped by you, and announce loudly, “Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, this is a citizens’ arrest for genocide and crimes against humanity in West Papua. I am inviting you to accompany me to a police station to answer the charge."

This afternoon at Downing St, the President was nowhere to be seen, but perhaps later in his visit we may see someone going for the prize, though perhaps the main effect of the offer will be a little press interest and a higher than usual level of police protection for Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

Although one of the posters at the protest claim that Yudhoyonon is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), Indonesia has not acceded to the Rome Statute, the founding treaty of the ICC, and it is not possible for the ICC to address his case. The Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC), whose Advisory Board is chaired by former Secretary-General of the United Nations and Nobel Laureate Kofi Annan and which includes many highly respected groups including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch has called on Indonesia to deliver on its commitment to fight impunity for military crimes by ratifying the Rome Statute, but it has not done so.

Activists from the South Moluccan independence movement went to the courts to have the Indonesian president arrested for alleged human rights violations during an official visit to the Netherlands in 2010. Although the courts rejected the case as Dutch law guarantees him immunity as a sitting head of state, Indonesia cancelled the visit, but despite opposition here, our government is welcoming him with open arms.

I had expected to see West Papuan tribal leader and founder of the Free West Papua organisation based in the UK Benny Wenda at the protest, but unfortunately he is ill. Granted asylum in the UK in 2002 and living in Oxford, the Indonesian government had applied through Interpol for his extradition on charges of murder and arson, which he denies. Fortunately last August, Interpol came to the decision that the case they were making against him "was predominantly political in nature" and deleted him from their 'wanted' list.

Separatists in West Papua Paradigm Trap

Papuan Protess

Jakarta-Papua conflict that has lasted for 47 years (starting from 1963) and establish paradigm fosters separatism. This paradigm has been the framework and foundation of thought for both parties. At the opposite extreme, the events that occurred in Papua understood and addressed in the framework separatist conflict.
Parties to the central government (read: Polhukkam Coordinating Ministry, Ministry of Home Affairs, and BIN) Jakarta puts goals in order to maintain the integrity of combating separatism NKRI above all other political and economic policies. Violence in the New Order state is considered politically correct because it is considered as an effort to combat separatism. Excesses of state violence is not considered a breach of human rights more important than combating separatism.
At the time of the Reformation, and Autonomy in Papua, the practice of repression and state violence is still the name of combating separatism. Murder of Theys Eluay in November 2001 was clearly acknowledged in court that the killing was done in order to prevent the strengthening of the independence movement in Papua. It continued in Abepura (2000), Wasior (2001), Wamena (2003), and the last murder Kelly Kwalik.
In the name of combating separatism Similarly, violations of the law "tolerable". For example, Instruction 1/2003 which divide Papua into three provinces clearly violating Article 76 of Law 21/2001. As much as the public protests and public criticism of the policy, the policy is kept out by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry for backup from BIN Polhukkam. Internal Among them, the reason is clear and never denied. Expansion Instruction 1/2003 is to prevent the unity of pro-independence Papuans in Jayapura.
The grounds contain the foreign influence in the separatist movement in Papua is also treated as a covered area for researchers and foreign journalists. The fact that good and bad is blurred in Papua. The boundary between factual news and rumors of the imagination of political actors is blurred. Official news in newspapers is often defeated by rumors among the public via sms or whispers. As a result, the technology has telephone and internet communication, representation and image Papua out to be difficult to verify. Suspicions grow very fertile. Cases of violence by the state or from the group of Papuan movement is never revealed completely.
Devices and law enforcement institutions were distorted. In many cases the assumption Papuan political police, prosecutors and judges are dominated by the paradigm of separatism. Student political action easily put in a box separatism. Before the trial began, the attitude of law enforcement have clearly demonstrated their priori suspects or defendants politics. Examples of student activist judicial practice Buchtar Tabuni and colleagues (2009) who tried to use subversion article shows it. If outside Papua clauses may be lighter. Because it is an instrument of law enforcement paradigm also tends to be subordinated and manipulated into a tool to limit political expression and silencing citizens.
Excessive vigilance and the resulting stigma separatists used further as a means of control and marginalization of the opposition Papua. Most alarming of all, separatist paradigm is used as a cover for a variety of state failure in carrying out its duties, the public services and the creation of a sense of security, against Indonesian citizens in Papua. The dominant product of the separatist paradigm is impunity and injustice.

"Disease" separatist paradigm also affects leaders and the people of Papua, most of the leaders and elite Papuan pro-independence Papuan. They almost always led to an understanding of all the demands of political discourse towards independence. The government considered a deliberate and planned to get rid of or destroy indigenous Papuans as they are separatists.
Papua parties, especially the TPN / OPM and the community and the Papuan elite, both who have been victims of state violence as well as those directly related and historical kinship with the victims, felt he had become victims of state violence both symbolically and structurally. As a result, growing culture of terror, which is all that bad, catastrophic illness and violence almost always is believed to be the design of another (mostly Jakarta) to kill, remove, and destroy indigenous Papuans. The product of the culture of terror is a deep distrust of government in general.
When the number of HIV / AIDS among indigenous Papuans increased rapidly, much discourse says that the disease was deliberately taken by the police or military forces through sex workers brought in from outside Papua. HIV / AIDS is seen as a means to kill the native Papuans slowly so eventually perish from this earth.  

No critical questions to try to understand the complexity of the pattern of sexual relations among indigenous Papuans, free sex transactions between Papua and new comers unprotected sex habits, to the government's policy response to the spread of HIV / AIDS.
Most people are not interested to see the facts and critically observant but just want to justify their prejudices. Culture is manifested in fear of terror and hatred against excessive state security forces. All things considered come from Jakarta tends suspected abuse. From there grew also a victim mentality. Many Papuans lost the ability to critically understand their own problems, loss of confidence, and tend to expect outside help (outside Indonesia) in solving their own problems.
Everything smelled new hope international is seen as supreme. In the process of public consultation exercise recently and various workshops, we heard many Papuans demand for international dialogue held, international mediators, influx of UN peacekeepers to Papua, and so on. Without further thought, what is internationally considered better and can solve the problem. Often Papuan leaders also manipulate the myth of an international force to keep political support and funding from the public.
Paradigm also makes Papuan separatism develop and reinforce the myth that indigenous Papuans definitely in her heart to save aspirations M and non-Papuans (read: non-Papuan Indonesian citizens) must be pro-Republic of Indonesia and is considered "the enemy". Consider the statement Papuan activists in discussions or seminars. 

 "I do not believe you because you are an Indonesian who kill kill us." "Only someone who knows Papua Papua and Papua have the heart to build." Discourse was kept alive despite many Papuan leaders who oppress the Papuans or otherwise non-Papuans who contributed a lot to the people of Papua.
The paradigm that is what fosters fear and see the whole corner of the earth is monitored and controlled by intelligence or security forces in Indonesia. This feeling is strong among residents or embedded Papuan leaders who felt himself being watched for their participation in the political movement of anti-Indonesia. 

For example, a person is sick and does not want to go to Jakarta for fear of later intelligence infiltrated the hospital and injected poison into the infusion bottle. Or also an activist who had a motorcycle accident and develop a rumor that Intel pushed into the gutter. No critical questions arise there, and people tend to believe it.
Separatist discourse or the word "free" is also being considered to be an effective tool to intimidate officials in Jakarta in order to fulfill the political ambitions of Papuan officials. For example, when the demands of a particular disbursement or has not been disbursed by the agency in Jakarta, intimidation by using the word "freedom" began to appear. 

 Another obvious example is one reason won a judicial review at the Constitutional Court regarding an additional 11 members of the DPRP, namely that in the composition of the membership of the current DPRP pro-Homeland unrepresented. Beyond that, quite simply, the proposer of the Barisan Merah Putih, willing to take a quota of 11 seats if it works.
Paradigm separatism is also used as a tool for protection from legal by Papuan officials are corrupt. Some corrupt officials begin investigation or even heard, began to make style statements "Indonesian nationalism" with a lot of the word Republic and criticized the pro-independence group, or a rehash of his services to "defend" Homeland.
Exposure on the overall situation to be one important cause paralysis and political deadlock. Parties Jakarta tend to suspect and rejected most of the problem solving initiatives coming from Papua with the formula "Homeland fixed price". Instead the Papua feel unfairly treated continuously and diakhianati by Jakarta that also insisted the reactionary statement that "Freedom is also set in stone".
Suspicions between the two nourished by various repressive policies of Jakarta and Papua unfriendly. In response, a variety of actions and statements of political separatism in Papua reinforced paradigm mentioned above.
In the end on one side of the paradigm of separatism developing policies and behavior of government officials is against the purpose of combating separatism itself. On the other hand, it reinforces the desire, at least strengthen separatist discourse, indigenous Papuans to secede. (MSW)

Being Negotiated Alternate Solution West Papua Problems

Efforts solutions to violent conflict in Papua, has an impact on the occurrence of violations of human rights.

Also categorized as crimes against humanity, in my view may need to be resolved existing democratic means, perhaps through dialogue but can also be upgraded to talks or negotiations between the parties involved in the conflict.

The parties in question are Papuans who in this case also involves the Free Papua Movement [OPM] to the military wing that has been involved in the classic West Papua National Liberation Army [TPN-PB], as well as the Indonesian government with military - police.

 Negotiations or if negotiations were to be implemented, it is expected that all issues be struggles and even become a source of conflict among interested parties as possible during this solution can be found in a peaceful solution.

And more democratic. It is expected to hold talks, the effort has been done to promote the elements of violence and caused many casualties, even the loss of material and financial terms of not a few others, and should be better utilized to provide protection primarily for civil society [indigenous] Papua always be a victim of even the most often sacrificed due to the prolonged conflict over the years.

 For me the alternative dispute settlement Papua and violence, will cause casualties, especially armed violence that occurred during that involve direct military-police with PB TPN / OPM must immediately end, we all support the achievement of the settlement of the Papua issue through peaceful means and democratic.

Where akternatif is best achieved by holding talks [Negosiasai] peace that can be implemented by increasing the intensive dialogue between the parties to conflict in Papua for nearly 50 years. (tw)

Jadikanlah Dialog Jakarta-Papua Menjadi Tombak Penyelesaian Koflik di Tanah Papua

Opini: by  Alexander Gobai

 

Melihat kondisi yang terjadi di papua, banyak kekerasan, pembunuhan dan tindakan-tindakan yang tidak benar, dilakukan oleh para militer, TNI/PORLI di papua. Situasi seperti ini, sudah memakan waktu yang cukup lama. Namun, masih terus terjadi penyisiran di papua.

 

Masyarakat papua telah habis karena perlakukn negatif yang dilakukan oleh para militer indonesia. Mereka melakukan penyisiran dari hari ke hari. Tanpa mengingat batas waktu. Bila dilihat-lihat itu adalah pekerjaan mereka setiap hari. 

 

Bila begitu, maka masyarakat papua tidak berani bergerak dan melawanan militer indonesia. Karena dominasi militer sekarang di papua, sudah semakin banyak. Telah terbangun bataliyon-bataliyon baru dan pos-pos militer di setiap kota maupun di setiap mata jalan.

 

Dengan demikian, masyarakat papua tidak bisa bergerak satu langkah ke depan. Sebab, ketika melangkah pasti disitu ada TNI/PORLI. Akan hal ini, perjuangan militer cukup hebat. Dalam arti telah menguasai tanah papua terlebih khusus kepada masyarakat papua.

 

Kekejaman militer terhadap masyarakat papua, sudah cukup banyak yang mengalami korban. Ada yang meninggal tanpa salah, ada yang meninggal dibunuh oleh OTK dan ada yang mati dibunuh karena kekarasan yang tidak memanusiawi. Karena adanya tindakan-tindakan seperti demikian, maka jalan satu-satu ialah banyak yang melakukan aksi-aksi masa, yang dilakukan oleh berbagai kalagan mahasiswa/i papua. Dengan tujuan menutut referendum.

 

Konflik di papua, telah mengalami banyak korban. Salah satunya terjadi penangkapan Buctar Tabuni di jayapura. Yang diduga karena melakukan keonaaran di papua. Dan terpukulnya Oktovianus pogau, yang sebagai wartawan suara papua dan wartawan globe kompas, ketika menunjukan kartu persnya kepada Kapolres Manokwari, papua, yang tujuanya ialah ingin mewawancarai demo yang sedang berlangsung di manokwari. Yang mana mahasiswa/i papua pada saat menyelenggarakan demo besar-besaran pada, selasa (23/10) 3 minggu lalu.

 

Ini adalah satu kontak negatif yang bertujuan untuk menutup-nutupi orang papua terhadap bangsa indonesia. Kadang-kadang mereka melihat dari segi-segi itu. Keonaran militer, TNI/Porli, telah membuat masyarakat papua, semakin gugup tinggal di tanahnya sendiri. Namun, itu bukan menjadi persoalan, yang menjad persoalan ialah harus membentuk negara dan bangsa papua. Itu yang ada di setiap benak orang papua.

 

Karena konflik terjadi terus-menerus, maka jalan satu-satunya untuk menyelesaika konflik ialah harus adakan dialog jakarta-papua. Saya sangat mendukung dan setuju dengan bukunya DR. Neles Tebai, yang menceritakan tentang dialog jakarta-papua. Ini merupakan tombak penyelesaian masalah antara papua dan jakarta.

 

Harus ada dialog terbuka antara kedua belah pihak, baik dari jakarta maupun papua. Harus duduk bersama-sama dan membuka wacana antara kedua bela pihak dalam menyelesaikan konflik yang terjadi. Jangan meninggalkan masalah (konflik) ini, terjadi terus-menerus. Bila tidak menyelesaikan masalah dengan baik dan benar, saya yakin masalah akan semakin besar. Dan kelak jakarta dan papua akan baku bunuh sendiri.

 

Supaya tidak terjadi konflik ini, maka gunakan dialog menjadi tombak utama dalam menyelesaikan masalah di papua. Akan hal ini, saya yakin 100%, papua akan aman da tentram

Aparat Tidak Mampu, KNPB Korban Kambing Hitam

Logo KNPB

Bagi Komite Nasional Papua Barat (KNPB), polisi segaja  tutupi kegagalan mereka dalam berbagai kasuskriminal di papua

Dari Penangkapan Ketua Komite Nasional Papua Barat dan Ketua Parlemen Nasional Papua Barat, Buchtar Tabuni sampai di vonis 8 bulan penjara sampai penangkapan aktivis KNPB di berbagai wilayah di papua hanyalah sebagai upaya kambing hitam. 

Ini upaya menutupi ketidakmampuan polisi mengungkap pelaku penembakan di Papua dengan modus mengkambinghitamkan gerakan damai KNPB.

"Kita lihat realita, berbagai kasus penembakan dan peledakan Bom di wamena, Penembakan Puncak Jaya, Timika, Paniai, serta beberapa daerah dalam beberapa waktu terakhir, terbukti bahwa Polisi Indonesia tidak mampu mengungkap pelaku kekerasan kami (KNPB) hanya di kriminalisasikan gerakan damai yang di lakukan KNPB selama ini.

KNPB menyajikan berbagai data, ada penembakan 5 warga sipil di Degeuwo Paniai yang jelas-jelas dilakukan Brimob Polda Papua belum juga  diadili. 

Kemudian penembakan Terijoli Weah pada 2 Mei 2012, saat demo damai KNPB dan beberapa korban penembakan aparat di demo damai di jayapura, Penembakan aktivis  Mako Tabuni oleh densus 88, sampai penembakan aksi damai 23 Oktober 2012 di manokwari dan pembubaran paksa di berbagai daerah di papua dan lainnya, aparat tidak mampu mengungkap siapa pelaku sebenarnya.

"Penembakan terhadap warga Jerman, Dietmar Pieper di Base-G pun belum sanggup diungkap polisi melalui tim yang dipimpin Wakapolda Papua, Paulus Waterpau,"

KNPB, selama ini mereka selalu melakukan aksi secara damai, bahkan dengan melayangkan pemberitahuan ke polisi. "Lantas, mengapa aksi damai rakyat Papua diblokade polisi yang menggunakan senjata lengkap? Mengapa tidak membiarkan KNPB melakukan aksi damai seperti biasanya?"

KNPB sangat memahami prinsip-prinsip kemanusiaan, perdamaian dan demokrasi secara universal. Oleh sebabnya, ribuan massa rakyat Papua Barat selama ini dikoordinir secara damai untuk menyampaikan tuntutan rakyat secara terbuka. KNPB memahami bahwa, anarkis dan kekerasan tidak mengungtungkan dan justru merugikan dalam perjuangan KNPB. Oleh karenanya, KNPB tidak sama sekali menghasut dan mengatur kekerasan terjadi dalam perjuangan yang damai ini.
