Discrimination Law of Indonesia in Papua

By Telius Yikwa.

Indonesia is a state law that rests on a constitution in 1945 and embrace the democratic system. The law in Indonesia serves to punish or impose sanctions on anyone who violated without distinction of political status, economic status, social status of the offender. Legal or not breathing looked offenders from its status as biological children, as a foster child, a birth father, adoptive father and others. And on the other hand, the law serves to avoid actions that may harm and endanger other people (the public).

As a state law that embraces democracy, as we know that the law is the supreme authority in Indonesia, and Indonesia is the people's sovereignty. Thus, before the law, all of the same nationality Indonesia.

Constitution of the unity rapublik Indonesia is composed of four paragraphs were added thousands of code of laws in this country does not work in all Indonesian people evenly, even in prektek-practice law full of discriminating against ethnic, class, race, and people as well as other minorities in the country menggaku state law on this one.

See it in Papua, eastern regions of the country. Various law violations pile up without the slightest scraping what else settled by the law of this country. Human rights violations everywhere in Papua unpunished.

Yes, talking about law violations in Papua, has been since 1960 until this moment continues to occur. Perpetrators of human rights violations already known but were left, as if the victim was not properly human man in this world.We mentioned the case that happened just recently. Operation Mapenduma the perpetrators have been identified and are left without legal process. 18 people became victims world died and dozens more were injured in GOR Nabire on May 14, 2014, the culprit was not processed. 4 students shooting case in which the perpetrator Paniai clearly are not prosecuted. The shooting of two students in Timika, perpetrators have been known, but just the same. I have mentioned here only a few cases of the cases. Not including the legal violations in the areas of health, agrarian field or confiscation of land, violations in the areas of economy, education and so forth are not breathing touched by law to complete it in a country that menggaku country's law.

Legal discrimination against Papuans had just happened in Papua. But throughout Indonesia where Papuans were, the treatment was the same as happened in Papua. The persecution of a Papuan students in the city of Yogyakarta, teptanya at zero kilo meters, Malioboro, on behalf of Paul Petege on 04 July 2014, at 19:15 pm, the law allowing perpetrators, without legal process, similar cases on behalf of Jessica Elisabeth ISIR on 28 April 2010 in Timoho, Yogyakarta. As well as other cases in the city of Yogyakarta.Cases like this are not only in Yogyakarta, but in another city such as the case of the destruction of Papuan student dormitory in the city of Makassar, students Papuan victims become victims Bandung, Manado and other cities.Indonesian state law applies only to the people of Indonesia in provinces other than the province of Papua and West Papua. Papua People allowed by law. The law does not guarantee the justice of the people of Papua. Papuan People become victims over the victim without the law provides little pu sense of justice.

If we look at the policy of the country's laws against Papuans in terms of enforcement of such a law, then the law in Indonesia full of discriminatory against the people of Papua. Papua People allowed by state law. 

Legal policy of the Indonesian government against the people of Papua, further strengthening a sense in the hearts of the people of Papua that is the adopted son of Papua People who apply unfair and discriminatory.

Case by case every time continues to accumulate in Papua. Not a few legal cases can be resolved. Indonesia is not breathing unfair, unjust and it will continue either until when. Indeed Indonesian law discriminatory against the people of Papua.

When will the people of Papua is guaranteed by law? When will the law would divide the people of Papua, which is clearly becoming a victim? Where are the justice will come to bring justice to the people of Papua law because the law does not guarantee the Indonesian law? If other countries came to legal guarantees against the Papuans? Or the people of Papua should find a legal guarantee in the sky? If instead of the question, and when, where and by whom?

"Papua People will feel that the name of Justice law when Papua New Release Of Discriminatory countries and the hypocrites and sly in the world called the country of Indonesia." (Papua Times)
