Genocide in West Papua?
The role of the Indonesian state apparatus and a current needs assessment of the Papuan people
by John Wing with Peter King
A report prepared for the West Papua Project at the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies,
University of Sydney, and ELSHAM Jayapura, Papua. August 2005
The report details a series of concerns which, if not acted upon, may pose serious threats to the survival
of the indigenous people of the Indonesian province of Papua. It covers the threats posed by the
Indonesian military to the province’s stability, the recent increase in large scale military campaigns
which are decimating highland tribal communities, the HIV/AIDS explosion and persistent Papuan
underdevelopment in the face of a rapid and threatening demographic transition in which the Papuans face becoming a minority in their own land.
