1) Evaluation of Special Autonomy Law will only advance the Interests of the Government
Jayapura, 18 July 2013
KontraS (Commission for the Disappeared and Victims of Violence) believes that that plan by the MRP (Papuan People's Council) to undertake an evaluation of the government's implementation of special autonomy which is due to take place at the end of this month will be something quite negative.
'This evaluation is only intended to legitimise interests that are not favourable for the Papuan people,' said Olga Hamadi, the Director of KontrtaS-Papua. She said: 'I am very doubtful about any evaluation of the special autonomy law that is conducted by the MRP. The primary purpose will be to advance the government's intention to ratify the Special Autonomy Plus Law.'
'This evaluation is nothing more than the intention of the MRP the purpose of which is to support the government's intention to ratify the Special Autonomy - Plus Law. 'This evaluation will only promote the interests of the government to go ahead with the Autonomy - Plus Law which is no better that the Special Autonomy Law.'
The Special Autonomy - Plus will be no better that the the Special Autonomy Law., she said.
'What I have been hearing is that certain articles of the Special Autonomy Law will not be included in the Special Autonomy - Plus Law. Some articles such as the articles on human rights and democracy are not being included.'
She said: 'KontraS does not want to legitimise an evaluation without a clear agenda of what is to happen.' She said that this should not be seen as not agreeing with having an evaluation, but what is being planned appears to be going ahead without proper preparations and the necessary co-ordination. 'It is going ahead on the spur of the moment. There is no way that Papuans living in the cities will be involved. and moreover, those Papuans who live in the interior will not be involved either, with regard to the impact of special autonomy on them.'
She went on to say that Papuan women living in Jayapura really want any evaluation that is undertake to be very comprehensive..

2) Recomendation from the Evaluation of implementation of Special Autonomy Law in Papua,
organized by The Papuan People's Assembly (MRP) :
Indigenous Peoples of Papua demands dialogue Jakarta - Papua
Jayapura, 27/07 (Jubi) - Hearing process in order to evaluate the implementation of Special Autonomy Law in Papua which lasted from Thursday (25/07) was officially closed this evening (Saturday, 27/07). Dialogue between Papuans and the central government is the main recommendation from this hearing.
This hearing is the first meeting conducted by the whole representative of Indigenous Papua in order to evaluate the implementation of the Special Autonomy Law in Papua. Participants of the meeting were representatives Papuan People (OAP) from seven regions of indigenous Papua teritories, which is Mamta / Tabi, Saireri, Domberai, Bomberai, Anim Ha, La Pago, Pago Mee and facilitated by the Papuan People's Assembly (MRP) (Papua Pri\ovinces and West Papua Province). In addition, participants are representatives from 40 regencies, both of Papua and West Papua province. Each representative had been presented the results of the evaluation in each district which based on over 280 common questions about the implementation of the Special Autonomy in their administration area.
During this meeting took place, all over the regencies representative expressly said, special autonomy has failed and promptly carried Jakarta-Papua dialogue mediated by a neutral third party. The representative from 257 tribes in this Evaluation Meeting also confirmed the hearing is not intended to provide legitimacy to the plan of the Special Autonomy Law Plus or Administration Act of Papua.
"Representatives of Indigenous Peoples of Papua had views that Law No.21/2001 on Special Autonomy for Papua Province and West Papua in the implementation and performance of the government apparatus, both the central government, provincial governments of Papua and West Papua, and the Regency / City Government has failed in its implementation , " Committee Chairman, Jacobus Dumupa read the overview meetings and greeted with applause attendees.
The hearing process in order to evaluate the implementation of Special Autonomy Law in Papua is eventually produced two key recommendations, which is :
1. To open space for dialogue between Indigenous Papuans and the Central Government is mediated by a neutral party and held in a neutral place.
2. Law No.21/2001 as amended by Law No.35/2008 on Special Autonomy for Papua and West Papua will be reconstructed after stage called Jakarta-Papua dialogue done. (Jubi / Benny Mawel)
