In the 3rd UPR Cycle, the Government of Indonesia (GoI) accepted several recommendations with regard to the human rights situation in Papua and other recommendations which are relevant for Papua. We commend their acceptance and we appreciate the efforts taken for their implementations. Based on our experience, however, the current human rights situation in the region is worsening.
