Presidential candidate number two, Prabowo Subianto, stated that he would prioritize the upholding of Human Rights (HAM) regarding issues in Papua. This statement was made during the first Presidential Candidate Debate (Debat Capres 2024) with the theme of Governance, Law, Human Rights, Corruption Eradication, Strengthening Democracy, Improvement of Public Services, and Community Harmony, held at the KPU office, Central Jakarta, on Tuesday (12/12/2023).

“Human rights issues are something we must prioritize, and this includes protecting all the people of Papua, because terrorist groups there are attacking the Papuan people,” said Prabowo.

The Papua Task Force of Gadjah Mada University (UGM) recorded 348 cases of violence in Papua and West Papua. This record covers the period from 2010 to March 2022.

According to the task force's records, the number of violent incidents in Papua increased sharply since 2019. In 2019, there were 40 recorded cases of violence, increasing to 83 cases in 2021. Six regencies had high rates of violence: Intan Jaya, Puncak Jaya, Puncak, Mimika, Nduga, and Yahukimo.
