On May 3rd, the International Parliamentarians for West Papua will be joined in London by members of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua and the International Lawyers for West Papua, in order to discuss their belief that West Papuans have a fundamental right to self-determination.

This month we need all of our supporters across the globe to join in our April actions and help us build momentum for this important moment in West Papua’s history.
