Hutan Dirusak Demi Ekonomi, Siapa Korbannya?
(Sebuah Refleksi Analitis)
Oleh Wensi Fatubun
REALITAS krisis ekologi menyerang kita dari banyak aspek. Skala dan kompleksitas permasalahan-permasalahan dan kerumitan pemecahan-pemecahan jangka panjang yang diketengahkan oleh media massa kepada kita telah menjadi semakin sulit diabaikan.
Kini negara-negara yang memiliki hutan luas seperti Brazil, Papua Nugini dan Costa Rica mengusulkan konsep yang berfokus pada fungsi hutan sebagai penyerap dan pelepas karbon. Skema baru ini bernama REDD (Reducing Emission from Deforestation and Degradation). Skema ini mulai dibicarakan pada COP (Conference of the Parties) 12 di Nairobi-Kenya, yang kemudian dimatangkan pada KTT Perubahan Iklim di Bali lalu. REDD menawarkan skema retaining atau menahan karbon keluar.

The anti-plebiscite campaigns in West Papua
by Pieter Drooglever
For reasons of opportunity and principle, the decolonisation-policies of the Netherlands since 1945 went under the aegis of self-determination. At the transfer of sovereignty in 1949 to the newly created Federal Republic of Indonesia, the Dutch refused to hand over the residency of New Guinea as well. According to them, the Papuan population as a whole was not developed up to the point where it could determine for itself as yet, and there were plenty of indications that the leading layers of Papua society did agree with the argument. So the operation of self-determination had to be postponed for an as yet undeterminated period.
West Papua and the changing nature of self-determination

Self-determination beyond decolonisation
Self-determination has legal and political dimensions. The right to self-determination is cited in the UN Charter and the two Covenants of Human Rights, but basically the international community failed to consistently apply this right beyond the cases of decolonisation. The newly born states have been mostly hostile to the notion of self-determination of a population under their sovereignty, the world powers feared further instability if colonial boundaries were not respected, and there was a technical difficulty in defining ‘a people’.
