State and Environmental Violence in West Papua
Preliminary Statement of the Permanent People's Tribunal

The Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal, an international organization established in 1979 to examine and pronounce independent judgements on severe violations of human and peoples’ rights that do not find a space in the procedures of established courts of international law, held public hearings on the continuing violence in West Papua at Queen Mary University of London between 27-29 June 2024, following an indictment prepared by international and Indonesian human and environmental rights organizations and associations. This is the preliminary statement of the judges sitting in this session of the Tribunal.
