520 This book examines the role of the international community
in the handover of the Dutch colony of West Papua/Irian
Jaya to Indonesia in the 1960s and questions whether or
not the West Papuan people ever genuinely exercised the
right to self-determination guaranteed to them in the UN-
brokered Dutch/Indonesian agreement of 1962. Indonesian,
Dutch, US, Soviet, Australian and British involvement is
discussed, but particular emphasis is given to the central
part played by the United Nations in the implementation of
this agreement. As guarantor, the UN temporarily took over
the territory's administration from the Dutch before
transferring control to Indonesia in 1963. After five
years of Indonesian rule, a UN team returned to West Papua
to monitor and endorse a controversial act of self-
determination that resulted in a unanimous vote by 1022
Papuan 'representatives' to reject independence. Despite
this, the issue is still very much alive today as a crisis
-hit Indonesia faces continued armed rebellion and growing
calls for freedom in West Papua
