The Implementation Of Papua Asimetris Autonomy In Supporting Stengthening Integration of The Natioan on 2020-2021

Abstract

Political decentralization carried out in Indonesia is a political reform effort
at the local level in order to realize regional autonomy based on democratization,
empowerment and strengthening of local wisdom, accelerating community welfare
through improvement, service, empowerment, and community participation,
increasing regional competitiveness by paying attention to utilization of natural
resources and regional economic resources based on equity, justice, privilege
and specificity of a region in the system of the Unitary State of the Republic of
Indonesia.
The Papua Special Autonomy Policy is also inseparable from the long
history that occurred between this region and the Center. The sentiment of
injustice received by this region has given rise to various turmoils in the past that
have led to a process of disintegration. The turmoil that is a response to the socio-
economic injustice experienced by the Papuan people is one of the threats to the
Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.
This condition then gave birth to a very ironic reality, where Papua with
its abundant natural wealth, it is not surprising that in its development there are
demands from the Papuan people for this injustice. One of the most extreme
demands is the desire to break away from the Unitary State of the Republic of
Indonesia, as the Free Papua Organization (OPM) has long fought for.
In 1999, the Government issued Law Number 22 of 1999 concerning
Regional Government, which gave broad authority to regions to regulate and
manage their own household affairs, but in its course the law was deemed unable
to accommodate the cultural peculiarities and customs of the Papuan people. both
in government management and development in the Papua region. Finally, in 2001
the Central Government issued a Special Autonomy policy in the Papua Province - 41 -
with the issuance of Law Number 21 of 2001 concerning Special Autonomy for
the Papua Province. The law was enacted during the reign of President Megawati
Soekarnoputri. The law came into force on November 21, 2001.
The Papua Special Autonomy Policy is basically a granting of wider
authority for the Provincial Government and the Papuan people to regulate and
manage themselves within the framework of the Unitary State of the Republic of
Indonesia. Authority which means greater roles and responsibilities in managing
household affairs, administering government and regulating the use of natural
resources in Papua for the prosperity of the Papuan people, it is hoped that this
policy will be able to reduce inequality in Papua by providing more space for
local Papuan communities as subjects. major in development.
