The call to boycott Indonesia was initially made in December 2022 by the Pacific Conference of Churches (PCC), who urged a targeted Pacific boycott of Indonesian products.
Building on this demand, West Papuans are now asking people around the world to boycott Indonesian products, particularly those made using West Papuan resources. Through enormous mines and industrial plantations, Indonesia profits from West Papua’s natural wealth while denying its people their basic rights. Boycott Indonesia until West Papuans are finally allowed to hold the independence referendum they have been denied since the 1960s.  Over 70 West Papuan tribes, political groups, and customary and civil society organisations have endorsed the boycott campaign.
