Abstract

West Papua as one of the regions in Indonesia that integrates with the New York Agreement between Indonesia and the Netherlands carries the right of self-determination in an effort to separate from Indonesia. This research discusses how the regulation of the right to self-determination as part of Human Rights and examines the basis of West Papua in carrying out the right to self-determination and declaring itself as a state. This type of research is normative, with statutory (statue) and historical approaches. This research concludes that the right to self-determination is part of human rights, while West Papua’s claim as part of the Indonesian State in demanding the right to self-determination is clashed with the Uti Possidetis Juris and Territorial Integrity.
