On UN Human Rights Day 10th December- The date was chosen to honour the United Nations General Assembly's adoption and proclamation, on 10 December 1948, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the first global enunciation of human rights and one of the first major achievements of the new United Nations. The formal establishment of Human Rights Day occurred at the 317th Plenary Meeting of the General Assembly on 4 December 1950, when the General Assembly declared resolution 423(V), inviting all member states and any other interested organizations to celebrate the day as they saw fit.[1][2]
We remind the UN of their legal obligations to the West Papuan people, with this article from ULMWP
UN, Trusteeship and Decolonization
The United Nations has a legal duty to get Indonesia and other foreign powers to leave West Papua, and to respect the other human rights of the people of West Papua. Rights that include the right to life, to exercise self-determination, and to live free from unwanted foreign domination and exploitation.
The United Nations legal duty to help West Papua is listed under article 76 of the Charter of the United Nations.
What are laws?
Laws are a set of rules which a government or people have declared they will obey. Laws are the rules which a government or people agree their courts will use to make judgements independently of political whims. Each nation designs its own constitution, and every member of the United Nations has adopted the ‘Charter of the United Nations’ as one of its laws.
What is the Charter of the United Nations ?
The Charter of the United Nations is both a set of rules to establish how the UN (PBB) organisation works, and is a set of rules for how nations are to treat other nations and other people of the world. The purpose of the United Nations is defined in article 1 of the Charter.
The Charter does not affect any domestic issues, it only affects the relationship of a government with the United Nations and with other external governments or people.
United Nations issue of West Papua
West Papua has been a non-self-governing territory since 1950. In 1950 the United Nations agreed in General Assembly resolution 448 that West Papua was a territory for which the Netherlands was responsible under article 73 of the Charter of the United Nations, that there was a “sacred trust” to “promote” the “well-being of the inhabitants”, “to develop self-government, to take due account of the political aspirations of the peoples”, and to transmit to the United Nations information on the social and other conditions of the territory.
West Papua has been an United Nations trust territory since 1962. On 21st September 1962 the United Nations used article 85 part 1 of its law (the Charter) to give the approval which Indonesia and the Netherlands (in the New York Agreement) were asking the United Nations to give.
The official title of the New York Agreement is a trick, a deception to create the false illusion that the two nations are offering or exchanging something between them. The agreement is an offer to the United Nations in exchange for it to use article 85 part 1 of the Charter, each nation made promises on how it would treat and respect the people of West Papua if the United Nations would give its approval to the agreement. The New York Agreement is a trusteeship agreement as defined in articles 75 to 85 of the Charter.
