The Human Rights Symposium - Thursday 22nd May 19.30 – 22.00 Co-hosted by Amnesty International, Frontline, Trócaire, West Papua Action, Afri, and Sustainable Ireland Cooperative In the "information age", few people know about West Papua, where gold, copper and gas are being extracted, the rainforest is being cut down and the people are facing a genocide at the hands of the Indonesian military, the same military who brutally suppressed the people of East Timor. What are the roles of corporations, governments, the corporate media, human rights defenders, and 'ordinary people' in situations such as West Papua? Booking: 01 8603431 / 674 6415 or wpaction@iol.ie George Monbiot was born in 1963 and writes a weekly column for the Guardian newspaper. He is the author of a number of books including the The Age of Consent: a manifesto for a new world order (just published), Captive State: the corporate takeover of Britain, investigative travel books Poisoned Arrows (about West Papua), Amazon Watershed and No Man's Land. He is Honorary Professor at the Department of Politics in Keele and Visiting Professor at the Department of Environmental Science at the University of East London and formerly Visiting Fellow at Green College Oxford and Visiting Professor at the Department of Philosophy, Bristol. In 1995 Nelson Mandela presented him with a United Nations Global 500 Award for outstanding environmental achievement. He has also won the Lloyds National Screenwriting Prize for his screenplay The Norwegian, a Sony Award for radio production, the Sir Peter Kent Award and the OneWorld National Press Award. He helped to found the landrights campaign The Land is Ours. John Rumbiak is West Papua's best-known human rights advocate. He was born in Biak in 1962. He studied linguistics at Cenderawasih University in Jayapura in the 1980s, and since then has worked in several non-government organisations concerned with human rights. He is currently supervisor of ELSHAM, the West Papuan Institute for Human Rights Study and Advocacy, in Jayapura. In 1999 he studied human rights advocacy at Columbia University, New York, USA. He is presently based in the US and is visiting scholar at the Center for Human Rights Study at Columbia University. He has begun working on the international affairs of Papua (human rights, justice and peace) in conjunction with the Papua Resource Center (PRC), a New York based non-profit institution that deals with programs such as human resource development, cultural promotion, information center, justice and peace. West Papua, just north of Australia, was taken over by Indonesia in 1963: 40 years ago this month. With one of the last great surviving rainforests after the Amazon, and civilisations which have existed without outside interference for tens of thousands of years, at least 100,000 people have been killed by the Indonesian military. West Papua is resource-rich, with gold, copper and gas. West Papua Action
