NETHERLANDS COMPLICIT IN GENOCIDE

Protest Vigil at Netherlands Embassy to mark 40th anniversary of Indonesian Takeover of West Papua

40 years ago, on May 1st, 1963, the Indonesian flag was raised over West Papua, marking the annexation of West Papua and the brutal suppression of a nation.

To mark the anniversary a protest vigil – with placards and drums - was held for two hours outside the Netherlands Embassy in Dublin on May 1st 2003.

Formerly run by the Netherlands and for seven months by the United Nations, the world community turned a blind eye as the West Papuans were sacrificed to the interests of “real-politik” and corporate greed.

The question of West Papua is unfinished business for the Netherlands. The Netherlands continues to be silent on the on-going genocide in West Papua, as it seeks to maintain 'cordial' political and economic relations with its former colony, Indonesia.

When East Timor was taken over by Indonesia in 1975, its former colonizer, Portugal, spoke out and supported self-determination for East Timor. However, the Netherlands has stayed silent on the question of West Papuan self-determination, and thus, as a central party, is directly complicit in genocide.

West Papua, north of Australia, is the western half of New Guinea island. At least 100,000 West Papuans have been killed since 1963. Some observers have put the figure as high as 300,000.
