From New Zealand-The leaders of Anglican churches in New Zealand and four Pacific Island countries are calling for an end to human rights abuses in West Papua.
In a public statement on Friday, ten bishops and archbishops in New Zealand also said West Papua must put on the agenda at international forums.
The Bishop-Elect of Polynesia, which represents Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and the Cook Islands, also signed the statement.
The Anglican leaders called on their governments to support bringing the issue of West Papua to the United Nations.
They said the sale of natural resources sourced in West Papua should be investigated and restricted or banned.
Attention on restive Papua in recent weeks has centred on the massacre of at least 16 Indonesian workers by the West Papua Liberation Army.
The Liberation Army claimed the workers were military spies.
