SEC. 1015. DEVELOPMENTS IN AND POLICY TOWARD
INDONESIA.

(a) Statement of Congress Relating to Recent
Developments, Human Rights, and Reform- Congress--

(1) recognizes the remarkable progress in
democratization and decentralization made by Indonesia
in recent years and commends the people of Indonesia
on the pace and scale of those continuing reforms;

(2) reaffirms--

(A) its deep condolences to the people of Indonesia
for the profound losses inflicted by the December 26,
2004, earthquake and tsunami; and

(B) its commitment to generous United States support
for relief and long term reconstruction efforts in
affected areas;

(3) expresses its hope that in the aftermath of the
tsunami tragedy the Government of Indonesia and other
parties will succeed in reaching and implementing a
peaceful, negotiated settlement of the long-standing
conflict in Aceh;

(4) commends the Government of Indonesia for allowing
broad international access to Aceh after the December
2004 tsunami, and urges that international
nongovernmental organizations and media be allowed
unfettered access throughout Indonesia, including in
Papua and Aceh;

(5) notes with grave concern that--

(A) reform of the Indonesian security forces has not
kept pace with democratic political reform, and that
the Indonesian military is subject to inadequate
civilian control and oversight, lacks budgetary
transparency, and continues to emphasize an internal
security role within Indonesia;

(B) members of the Indonesian security forces continue
to commit many serious human rights violations,
including killings, torture, rape, and arbitrary
detention, particularly in areas of communal and
separatist conflict; and

(C) the Government of Indonesia largely fails to hold
soldiers and police accountable for extrajudicial
killings and other serious human rights abuses, both
past and present, including atrocities committed in
East Timor prior to its independence from Indonesia;

(6) condemns the intimidation and harassment of human
rights and civil society organizations by members of
the Indonesian security forces and military-backed
militia groups, and urges a complete investigation of
the fatal poisoning of prominent human rights activist
Munir in September 2004; and

(7) urges the Government of Indonesia and the
Indonesian military to continue to provide full,
active, and unfettered cooperation to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice
in its investigation of the August 31, 2002, attack
near Timika, Papua, which killed three people
(including two Americans, Rick Spier and Ted Burgon)
and injured 12 others, and to pursue the indictment,
apprehension, and prosecution of all parties
responsible for that attack.

(b) Findings Relating to Papua- Congress finds the
following:

(1) Papua, a resource-rich province whose indigenous
inhabitants are predominantly Melanesian, was formerly
a colony of the Netherlands.

(2) While Indonesia has claimed Papua as part of its
territory since its independence in the late 1940s,
Papua remained under Dutch administrative control
until 1962.

(3) On August 15, 1962, Indonesia and the Netherlands
signed an agreement at the United Nations in New York
(commonly referred to as the `New York Agreement')
which transferred administration of Papua first to a
United Nations Temporary Executive Authority (UNTEA),
and then to Indonesia in 1963, pending an `act of free
choice . . . to permit the inhabitants to decide
whether they wish to remain with Indonesia'.

(4) In the New York Agreement, Indonesia formally
recognized `the eligibility of all adults [in Papua] .
. . to participate in [an] act of self-determination
to be carried out in accordance with international
practice', and pledged `to give the people of the
territory the opportunity to exercise freedom of
choice . . . before the end of 1969'.

(5) In July and August 1969, Indonesia conducted an
`Act of Free Choice', in which 1,025 selected Papuan
elders voted unanimously to join Indonesia, in
circumstances that were subject to both overt and
covert forms of manipulation.

(6) In the intervening years, indigenous Papuans have
suffered extensive human rights abuses, natural
resource exploitation, environmental degradation, and
commercial dominance by immigrant communities, and
some individuals and groups estimate that more than
100,000 Papuans have been killed during Indonesian
rule, primarily during the Sukarno and Suharto
administrations.

(7) While the United States supports the territorial
integrity of Indonesia, Indonesia's historical
reliance on force for the maintenance of control has
been counterproductive, and long-standing abuses by
security forces have galvanized independence
sentiments among many Papuans.

(8) While the Indonesian parliament passed a Special
Autonomy Law for Papua in October 2001 that was
intended to allocate greater revenue and decision
making authority to the Papuan provincial government,
the promise of special autonomy has not been
effectively realized and has been undermined in its
implementation, such as by conflicting legal
directives further subdividing the province in
apparent contravention of the law and without the
consent of appropriate provincial authorities.

(9) Rather than demilitarizing its approach, Indonesia
has reportedly sent thousands of additional troops to
Papua, and military operations in the central
highlands since the fall of 2004 have displaced
thousands of civilians into very vulnerable
circumstances, contributing further to mistrust of the
central government by many indigenous Papuans.

(10) According to the 2004 Annual Country Report on
Human Rights Practices of the Department of State, in
Indonesia `security force members murdered, tortured,
raped, beat, and arbitrarily detained civilians and
members of separatist movements' and `police
frequently and arbitrarily detained persons without
warrants, charges, or court proceedings' in Papua.

(c) Reporting Requirements-

(1) REPORT ON SPECIAL AUTONOMY- Not later than 180
days after the date of the enactment of this Act and
one year thereafter, the Secretary of State shall
submit to the appropriate congressional committees a
report detailing implementation of special autonomy
for Papua and Aceh. Such reports shall include--

(A) an assessment of the extent to which each province
has enjoyed an increase in revenue allocations and
decision making authority;

(B) a description of access by international press and
non-governmental organizations to each province;

(C) an assessment of the role played by local civil
society in governance and decision making;

(D) a description of force levels and conduct of
Indonesian security forces in each province; and

(E) a description of United States efforts to promote
respect for human rights in each province.

(2) REPORT ON THE 1969 ACT OF FREE CHOICE- Not later
than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this
Act, the Secretary of State shall submit to the
appropriate congressional committees a report
analyzing the 1969 Act of Free Choice.
