Marianus Yawung: Never UN Gives Independence to A State

JAYAPURA - Observer International Law and Politics, Marinus Yawung, say, if the people of West Papua (PB) expects West Papua registered as a member of the United Nations and the independence of West Papua through the UN forum, that would be expected from the Sunrise western horizon. The reason, according to Lecturer in International Relations at the Faculty of Social Uncen this Jayapura, the Papua issue, until this moment we talked, it was officially recorded in the UN documents in 1969 where in 2504 the United Nations issued a resolution dated 19 November 1969 which ratified the results of West Irian Act which states West Papua is a legitimate part of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia (Republic of Indonesia).

"Even to this day filled with controversy because it does not meet international legal standards in determining that it was one man one vote, because it is recorded in the United Nations, until this moment is a legitimate part of Papua on the Homeland," he told reporters in the House Eat Goshen Abepura, Tuesday (20/11).

Thus, if you want to fight back Papuans the Papuan independence through the UN forum, all because it was erroneous since the founding of the United Nations in 1945 to today, the United Nations has never grant independence to a country, for in the UN Charter, the UN only set the main function, namely, the role of mediator, facilitator, communicator, yunikator (unifying) with the goal of creating world peace and security.

For that, once again he stated firmly, if people want to try to fight for the independence of Papua Papua through the UN forum, that would be expecting the sun rises from the west, because the articles of association and bylaws (AD / ART), which is the UN Charter has been very clear. Also due to independence and became a separate country, it is a requirement set out in international law through the Convention Monte Video in 1933 that set conditions the establishment of a State, first, the region, second, the presence of people in the region, a third, a sovereign government and fourth, the diplomatic support from other countries.

"It is absolutely necessary the establishment of a state. So there is no rule that the list of the United Nations and independence through the United Nations, "he said.

Examples, this time in the world in the 10-year timeframe, there emerged the new countries that have been independent and self-governing, but not registered with the UN, such as, Habakazia Republic, the Republic of South Ossetia which broke away from the Republic of Georgia and get support Russia's diplomatic and 5 other countries.

Then a third country is the Republic of Thaiwan and diplomatic support from 22 countries. Next the Republic of Palestine and the Republic of Kosovo, which has been an independent Palestinian Republic in May 2006, and diplomatic support of the 100 UN member states, but also has not registered as a member of the UN, but it will be announced at the United Nations on 29 November 2012 it is listed as the Republic of Palestine UN member or not.

Then the independent Republic of Kosovo on February 17, 2008 off of the Republic of Serbia and has received diplomatic support from the United States, Britain, France, and 91 other UN member states."Kosovo has not been recognized as a member of the UN since the State has not received the recognition of Indonesia as a member of the United Nations, as a scenario similar to the struggle of the Republic of Kosovo Papua, where if Kosovo diplomatic support from Indonesia, Kosovo will provide diplomatic West Papua," he said.

"Getting the diplomatic support of the other countries it was already independent. While Papua does get Vanwatu diplomatic support from the State, but the support has not been submitted to the United Nations for trial, "he continued.

Therefore, for him that a new declaration of independence first seek diplomatic support, and the declaration of independence i was to be witnessed by the international world, while West Papua's declaration of independence a lot done, but there is no recognition of the international support and no representative of the State during the declaration interniasonal . "So if we want to fight for the United Nations was a mistake," he concluded. (Nls/don/l03)Source: Binpa
