Information received regarding alleged violations of the rights of Indigenous Peoples, particularly in the Merauke Regency of South Papua Province, Indonesia, linked to the implementation of National Strategic Projects (NSPs). We are also bringing these allegations to the concerned companies’ attention.

Information received concerning alleged violations of the rights of Indigenous Peoples, particularly in the Merauke Regency of South Papua Province in Indonesia, arising from the implementation of National Strategic Projects (NSPs).These projects have reportedly resulted in violations of affected communities’ rights to food, water, health, nutrition, culture, and tradition, and a clean, healthy and sustainable environment, with women and children being particularly vulnerable to the consequences. Additionally, the Indigenous communities are reportedly facing intimidation and criminalization, with a high presence of military personnel in the region supporting companies in clearing forest lands. Indigenous and community leaders, as well as environmental human rights defenders, continue to face threats and criminalization for advocating for their rights.
