Jayapura, Jubi - Civil Organization Solidarity or SOS Papua has asked President Joko Widodo to immediately stop law enforcement operations involving the TNI in Nduga, Puncak Jaya, Intan Jaya, and Mimika Regencies, Papua. Jokowi was also asked to immediately investigate the problem of displacement of civilians in the four districts, and was asked to immediately deal with the refugees.
In a written press statement received by Jubi on Thursday (26/11/2020), SOS Papua emphasized the right to life, the right not to be tortured, the right to freedom of thought and conscience, the right to religion, the right not to be enslaved, the right to be recognized as a person. before the law, and the right not to be prosecuted on the basis of retroactive law is a human right that cannot be reduced under any circumstances. Protection of human rights has been mandated by Article 28I paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution and Article 4 of Law Number 39 Year 1999 concerning Human Rights.
However, SOS Papua believes that the guarantee of human rights protection does not apply to Papuans. In practice, the security approach chosen by President Joko Widodo’s administration to deal with the Papua problem has created new problems.

"From the end of 2018 to 2020, particularly in the interior of Papua, in Nduga Regency, Intan Jaya Regency, Mimika Regency and Puncak Jaya Regency, the deployment of TNI / Polri troops has continued to be haunted by the deployment of TNI / Polri troops which resulted in armed conflict between TNI / Polri and the Liberation Army. West Papua National (TPNPB). Civil society is experiencing a great humanitarian emergency, due to the failure to uphold the principle of respecting human rights for civilians in the midst of armed conflict, as directed in Article 3 of the Geneva Convention of 1949 which has been [enforced] by the Government of Indonesia through Law Number 59 of 1959 concerning Participation in the Republic of Indonesia Indonesia in All Geneva Conferences on 12 August 1949, "said the press statement for the SOS Papua.
SOS Papua stated that after the killing of PT Istaka Karya workers in Nduga Regency, Papua, on December 2, 2018, President Joko Widodo ordered the TNI Commander and the Police Chief to chase and arrest the armed group that killed the workers. Since then, violence has continued in Papua.
SOS Papua stated that until now President Joko Widodo had never issued a Presidential Decree approved by the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) to mobilize and use TNI forces. However, in practice law enforcement operations in Papua have been accompanied by military operations to hunt down TPNPB. The military operation called “Operation Law Enforcement" started in Nduga Regency, then expanded to a number of other districts such as Intan Jaya, Mimika and Puncak Jaya.

SOS Papua stated that the number of civilians who fled from Nduga reached 37 thousand people.

Facts Wabu Block exploitation interests in the midst of an armed conflict between TNI / Polri and TPNPB have resulted in victims of human rights violations.
