    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the ongoing issue of torture in West Papua, which the author describes as a mode of governance. The author argues that torture has worsened due to international acceptance and support for neoliberal politics, as well as distractions caused by other global conflicts. The article highlights specific instances of torture in West Papua, including rape and mutilation, and emphasizes the complicity of the international community in allowing these atrocities to continue. The author calls for a change in the current system and advocates for the implementation of a Green State Vision in West Papua. [Extracted from the article]
