	Background to the United Nations Involvement in West Papua (Irian Jaya) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		Until October 1962, West Papua (Irian Jaya) was a non-self governing territory that was being prepared for eventual independence by the Netherlands.
		To conclude, there is overwhelming evidence to show that the West Papuans did not have the opportunity to exercise their right to self-determination as guaranteed in the New York Agreement and under UNGA Resolution 1514 on the granting of independence to colonial peoples (14 December 1960).
		Privately, however, we recognise that the people of West Irian have no desire to be ruled by the Indonesians who are of an alien (Javanese) race, and that the process of consultation did not allow a genuinely free choice to be made.
