Vanuatu again harassed Indonesia by raising the issue of human rights violations in Papua. Indonesian diplomat Silvany Austin Pasaribu gave a firm response at the UN General Assembly. The following is Silvany’s full speech.
Initially, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Vanuatu Bob Loughman raised the issue of human rights violations in Papua in the UN General Assembly. Indonesia then exercised its right to dispute Vanuatu.
“I am confused, how can this country try to teach other countries, but it does not pay attention and does not understand all the fundamental principles of the UN Charter?” Indonesian diplomat Silvany Austin Pasaribu said in a speech at the UN YouTube account, on Sunday (9/27/2020). .
Silvany, in fluent English, highlighted that Vanuatu’s allegations were shameful. Vanuatu, he said, was too involved in Indonesian affairs.
“It is a shame that this country continues to have an excessive and unhealthy obsession about how Indonesia should act or govern itself,” he said firmly.
The following is the content of Silvany’s full speech at the 75th UN General Assembly that was broadcast on the UN YouTube account:
Madam President, I speak to exercise Indonesia’s right of reply to Vanuatu’s statement. It is a shame that this country continues to have an excessive and unhealthy obsession with how Indonesia should act or govern itself.
Frankly, I am confused as to how one country could try to teach others without taking into account the basic principles of the UN Charter.
Let me tell you the following, about what is right to respect the principles of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries and to do the right thing. That is respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other countries.
So, until you do, keep your advice a secret.
