HRM Report “No Safe Path Home” examines allegations of booby traps in West Papua

Human Rights News, Reports / Indonesia, West Papua / 1 June 2026 

The 24-page research report “No Safe Path Home: A report examining allegations of victim-activated explosive devices in West Papua in light of Indonesia’s obligations under the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention” analyses five documented incidents involving alleged anti-personnel mines, booby traps, and other victim-activated explosive devices in the Papua Tengah province and Papua Pegunungan province between 2023 and 2025. Drawing on witness accounts, visual documentation, official statements, and international legal standards, the report analyses the allegations in light of Indonesia’s obligations under the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention and highlights concerns regarding treaty compliance, transparency, accountability, and civilian protection.

Indonesia ratified the Mine Ban Treaty in 2007 and subsequently reported the destruction of its anti-personnel mine stockpiles and the absence of mined areas under its jurisdiction or control. However, information collected by local human rights defenders points to a series of incidents in which civilians were reportedly injured or placed at risk by victim-activated explosive devices during security operations in West Papua. The documented cases include an eleven-year-old girl seriously injured by an explosive device near a school in Intan Jaya Regency, reports of booby traps allegedly placed near graves and bodies during military operations, eyewitness accounts of explosive devices along public roads in Puncak Regency, and a civilian injured by an alleged booby trap on a footpath connecting homes and gardens in Yahukimo Regency. While the report does not attribute responsibility to specific individuals or institutions, it concludes that the allegations raise serious questions concerning Indonesia’s implementation of the Mine Ban Treaty and warrant independent investigation, transparency measures, and further scrutiny by relevant national and international mechanisms.
