The report details a series of concerns which, if not acted upon, may pose serious threats to the survival of the indigenous people of the Indonesian province of Papua. It covers the threats posed by the Indonesian military to the province’s stability, the recent increase in large scale military campaigns which are decimating highland tribal communities, the HIV/AIDS explosion and persistent Papuan underdevelopment in the face of a rapid and threatening demographic transition in which the Papuans face becoming a minority in their own land.

The report is largely based on research conducted during 2003-2005 in the cities, towns and villages of Papua, including Jayapura, Sorong, Timika, Merauke, Wamena, Mulia and Manokwari. The authors acknowledge the unstinting interest and support of Stuart Rees and the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies.
