The West Papuan Human Rights Center is a United States-based human rights organisation. It was organized in late 2018 and launched in 2019 by the West Papuan representative to the United Nations and the US Congress, Herman Wainggai.
On December 14, 2018, the first meeting was held and the idea of establishing a Human Rights Center to document human rights abuse cases in West Papua came up. The idea was implemented one year later and was formally recognized by the United States government with the approval of the center as an official NGO on March 25, 2019.[1]
Objective
The main objective of the Center is to help educate the world about the Human Rights issues in West Papua by highlighting the issues facing the West Papuan indigenous people and the Indonesian government.
