UN silenced West Papua's voice. In repetition of 2019 when the Permanent Forum for Indigenous Issues shouted across their room to silence the West Papuan speaker Mr John Anario, the United Nations using video broadcast in 2021 has again silenced Mr Anari as he presented West Papua's call for the United Nations to comply with its international legal obligations 27 seconds into their broadcast of his statement.
