Concerns the human rights situation of Indigenous Peoples in Indonesia. These include the lack of formal recognition of Indigenous Peoples; the erosion of their rights under the revised Special Autonomy Law in West Papua; the revival of the transmigration policy and its detrimental impact on cultural integrity; and the adverse effects of National Strategic Projects, extractive industries, and green energy initiatives on Indigenous lands and livelihoods. We also highlight specific cases, such as the expansion of nickel mining in Kabaena and its impact on the Bajau Indigenous Peoples and the dispossession and threats faced by the Cek Bocek Indigenous Peoples in Sumbawa. We have also received allegations of the exclusion of Indigenous communities from conservation efforts, affecting their territories, lands and resources. Additional concerns include the criminalization of Indigenous land defenders and the existential threats faced by Indigenous Peoples in isolation.
