This project will explore a range of strategies for protecting the human rights of West Papuans, with particular reference to rights to self-determination.In 1963, West Papua New Guinea was taken over by the Indonesian government for what was supposed to be a five-year period of temporary rule. Following this, 1,002 out of a population of over two million voted, under significant pressure from the Indonesian military, to formally join Indonesia. West Papuans were slaughtered at the governments command, igniting the Free West Papua movement for self-determination. The oppression of West Papuans and their struggle against human rights abuses continues today. Working in collaboration with International Lawyers for West Papua, ILWP, this project will bring together philosophical and archival analysis in order to explore the coloniality of international law, bringing this to bear on an analysis of legal avenues for protecting West Papuan human rights. It deploys Georgio Agambens analysis of signatures and Achille Mbembes concept of Necropolitics, inspiring an archaeological study of the colonial racism inherent in the history of international law, as well as how this links to the New York Agreement that transferred authority of West Papua to Indonesia and its violent aftermath. This critical inquiry will then serve to illustrate the relevance of this analysis for today's international legal strategies for West Papuan self determination available to the ILWP and across the United Nations system.This inquiry is timely, as the cause defending West Papua's self-determination has recently been stimulated by the work of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua, with the emergence of the interim president, Benny Wenda, and the creation of an independent government for West Papua with the vision for transforming West Papua into a 'Green State', despite the absence of legal recognition

本项目将探讨保护西巴布亚人人权的一系列战略，特别是自决权。1963年，西巴布亚新几内亚被印度尼西亚政府接管，实行了为期五年的临时统治。此后，在印度尼西亚军方的巨大压力下，200多万人口中的1，002人投票正式加入印度尼西亚。西巴布亚人在政府的命令下被屠杀，点燃了争取自决的自由西巴布亚运动。对西巴布亚人的压迫和他们反对侵犯人权的斗争至今仍在继续。该项目将与西巴布亚国际律师协会合作，汇集哲学和档案分析，以探讨国际法的殖民性，并将其用于分析保护西巴布亚人权的法律的途径。它部署了Georgio Agambens对签名的分析和Mbembes的Necropolitics概念，激发了对国际法历史中固有的殖民种族主义的考古研究，以及这与将西巴布亚权力移交给印度尼西亚的纽约协定及其暴力后果的联系。这一批判性调查将有助于说明这一分析对国际妇女工作方案和整个联合国系统现有的西巴布亚自决国际法律的战略的相关性，这一调查是及时的，因为西巴布亚联合解放运动的工作最近刺激了捍卫西巴布亚自决的事业，临时总统本尼·温达的出现，并为西巴布亚建立一个独立的政府，其愿景是将西巴布亚转变为一个“绿色国家”，尽管没有得到法律的承认
