West Papua Project - University of Sydney

The "West Papua Project" was established at the University of Sydney's "Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies" in October 2000. It seeks to promote peaceful dialogue between the people of West Papua and Indonesia, and to promote conflict resolution as a viable alternative to the current and escalating conflict. WPP's objectives include establishing relevant links with NGOs, academics and parliamentarians in Australia, West Papua and Indonesia; raising public awareness of the conflict between West Papua and Indonesia with particular reference to both the human rights implications and the threat to the stability of the South Pacific region.
