| pesan | For much of the last decade, advocates of closer ties between the Indonesian military and the U.S. military have contended that a warmer U.S. embrace entailing training programs and education courses for TNI officers could expose them to democratic ideals and afford a professional military perspective. This argument ignores the decades of close U.S. - Indonesian military ties extending from the 1960's to the early 1990's when U.S. training was provided to over 8,000 Indonesian military officers. This 30-year period also encompasses the period when the Indonesian military committed some of its gravest atrocities and when a culture of impunity became ingrained. |

| pesan | The argument for reform through engagement also ignores the fact that the U.S. Defense Department already maintains extensive ties and channels for assistance under the guise of conferences and joint operations billed as humanitarian or security-related. In the wake of 9/11, proponents of restored U.S.-Indonesian military ties have also argued that the U.S. needs the Indonesian military as a partner in the war on terrorism. This argument overlooks the Indonesian military’s close ties to and support for domestic fundamentalist Islamic terror groups, including the Laskar Mujahidin and Front for the Defense of Islam. The Laskar Jihad militia, which the Indonesian military helped form and train, engaged in a savage communal war in the Maluku Islands in the years 2000 to 2002 that left thousands dead. Many thousands more died in Central Sulawesi in the same period, in fighting that involved militias with security force ties. |

| pesan | Absent tangible evidence of Indonesian military action to curb abuses, to allow itself to be held accountable, to end corruption, to submit itself to civilian rule and to end its sponsorship of terrorist militias, the Indonesian military should be seen for what it is: a rogue institution that directly threatens democracy in Indonesia. Existing restrictions on military-to-military ties between the United States and Indonesia must remain in place, conditionality should be strengthened and the IMET ban reinstated in FY 2006. Finally, a word about the future. The Indonesian people, Indonesian non-governmental organizations, the Indonesian media and individual Indonesians have demonstrated great courage in standing up to the intimidation of entrenched corrupt interests in their society and most especially its security forces to demand their right to live in a democratic society. The brave students who rallied in the streets in 1998 wrought a revolution, though since that historic victory, entrenched undemocratic elements have sought to undo reforms. Sadly, in some parts of Indonesia the 1998 reforms have had little meaning. The military, often employing terrorist militias, have most brutally repressed the popular struggle for reform in Aceh, West Papua and the Maluku Islands. It is vital that the central government engage civil society in these areas in peaceful dialogue and, in order to make such a dialogue viable, demilitarize those areas. |

| pesan | The U.S. should encourage reform and peaceful dialogue where it can. It should encourage the Government to enforce worker rights, to make far more serious efforts and to end injurious exploitation of child labor and human trafficking. The U.S. should encourage the Indonesian Government to pass legislation implementing the U.N. Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. The U.S. should also urge an end to intimidation of journalists through physical threat and intimidation through misuse of the courts. Moreover, the U.S. Government should itself recognize the importance of social, economic and cultural rights and encourage the Government of Indonesia to pursue development strategies that address the urgent health, education and shelter needs of the poor. But direct U.S. involvement in Indonesian affairs would be unwelcome and most likely ineffective. Critical questions such as the role of Islam in modern Indonesia and the shape and character of its economy are for Indonesians to decide. The most pro-active course for the U.S. at this time is to step back from its growing embrace of the Indonesian military that remains the gravest threat to democracy and human rights throughout the archipelago. |

| pesan | Committee on International Relations U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515-0128 March 10, 2005 Testimony for Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific Hearing: Implications of Recent Indonesia Reform By Edmund McWilliams, Senior Foreign Service Office (Ret.) Board of Directors, Indonesia Human Rights Network The Indonesian Military’s Threat to Human Rights and Democracy The Annual Human Rights Report regarding Indonesia, recently released by the State Department accurately portrays the Indonesia as a fragile, fledgling democracy whose government is not yet capable of protecting the fundamental human rights of its people. As documented clearly in the State Department’s report, the principal menace to those rights and to that fledgling democratic government itself is a rogue institution with vast wealth and power that has committed crimes against humanity and perhaps genocide and which remains unaccountable. That institution, the Indonesian military, recently saw its stature dangerously enhanced by a decision of the U.S. administration to end a bipartisan Congressionally imposed sanction against the military, imposed over a decade ago. |

| pesan | Kalau Pepera di tidak direkayasa, Kalau Pepera di tidak cacat, Kalau tidak terjadi pelanggarah HAM di Papua, Kalau Otusus dilaksanakan dengan Sepenuh hati dan tidak ada masalah Kenapa pemerintah RI harus khawatir? Kenapa harus sibuk-sibuk lobi? Kenapa harus panik? Bukankah Pemerintah RI menunjukan kebodohan sendiri, dengan merespon secara berlebihan. Setidaknya 'melapor diri atau secara tidak langsung memberi pengakuan' bahwa BENAR, ada KEJAHATAN DAN KEMUNAFIKAN dan ITIKAT TIDAK BAIK terhadap Bangsa dan orang Papua. I.S.Kijne bilang: Tersembunyi Ujung Jalan, Hampir atau masih Jauh Ku dibimbing Tangan Tuhan, Ke Negeri yang tak ku Tahu, ------- Hai tanah ku Papua, kau Tanah Lahir ku Ku Kasih akan dikau, sehingga Ajalku. |

| pesan | MERDEKA! Pertanyaan untuk Om John. Bagaimana pendapat masyarakat di Wilayah kepala burung umumnya dan di wilayah Manokwari khususnya tentang pilkada IRJABAR yang menurut rencana akan dilaksanakan akhir bulan agustus? Sebagai anak adat, saya pikir semua anak adat di wilayah IRJABAR harusnya memboikot pilkada itu! Terima kasih atas tanggapannya. |

| pesan | MERDEKA dan salam ikan julung buat semua. Om so baca semua media massa dan om hanya senyum2 saja. Sbg rakyat biasa om tra resah dan takut spt yg dong bilang2 di surat kabar itu. Om so keliling seluruh kota Manokwari dan sempat kontak ke BIak, Sorong, Fakfak dan Jayapura utk tanya bagaimana perasaan masyarakat disana. Jawaban yg Om terima adl semua gembira dan mengucap syukur dgn berbagai perkembangan terakhir yg terjadi. Jadi mohon maaf yg ketakutan dan resah disini bukan rakyat biasa (rakyat Papua) tetapi pemerintah dan semua yg berpihak pada NKRI. Om sekarang ini cuma kunyah2 pinang dan tra sabar untuk lihat proses selanjutnya. Tong pu pemerintah NKRI dong sangka kongres AS terlalu bodoh utk ambil keputusan jadi dong mo pi lobi-lobi. He-he-he. Yang Om tahu itu di negara spt Amerika itu terlalu amat sangat bodoh kalau sebuah keputusan diambil di tingkat Konggres tanpa didahului sebuah studi dan penelitian yg mendalam. Bukan kaya tong punya DPR RI yg cuma pikir gaji naik dan studi banding ke luar negeri. Jadi biar SBY dan semua pejabat pemerintah dong ancam macam-macam dan bikin takut masyarakat sampe mulut busa tra akan bisa goyahkan keputusan yg telah diambil di kongres AS. Om cuma pesan supaya kitong kaseh tenang kitong punya rakyat Papua karena akan tiba waktunya kitorang (rakyat biasa) pu pendapat sendirilah yg akan didengar oleh dunia. Bukan pendapat SBY, DPR dan Gub Papua. JADI TETAP TENANG DAN BERDOA. KITORANG SO SIAP MO.  |
