Papua Sudah Lepas dari NKRI Tahun 1961, Benarkah?
Jakarta, PelitaOnline — LEBIH dari 50 tahun lamanya tanah Papua dianggap masuk ke dalam bagian Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia.

Hal itu terlihat jika Perjanjian New York Agreemeny atau Perjanjian New York bernomor 2054 dipahami secara politik dan administrasi hukum Internasional.
Sekretaris Komite Solidaritas Papua Petrus Reffasie Mike mengatakan, ada tiga istilah untuk memahami pengertian Perjanjian New York tersebut. Pertama Apoimand, kedua Agremand, dan ketiga Convened.
Menurut dia, Apoimand merupakan suatu bentuk perjanjian yang sifatnya biasa.
“Apabila pihak-pihak terkait tidak memenuhi kesepakatan yang dibuatnya, maka perjanjian itu tidak mempunyai akibat hukum,” kata Petrus di Jakarta, Rabu (2/11).
