The territory of West New Guinea (West Irian) had been
in the possession of the Netherlands since 1828. When the Netherlands
formally recognized the sovereign independence of Indonesia in 1949, the
status of West Irian remained unresolved. It was agreed in the Charter
of Transfer of Sovereignty C concluded between the Netherlands and Indonesia
at The Hague, Netherlands, in November 1949 C that the issue would be
postponed for a year, and that "the status quo of the presidency
of New Guinea" would be "maintained under the Government of
the Netherlands" in the mean time. The ambiguity of the language,
however, led the Netherlands to consider itself the sovereign Power in
West New Guinea, since this would be a continuation of the "status
quo". Indonesia, on the other hand, interpreted the Dutch role there
to be strictly administrative, with the implication that West Irian would
be incorporated into Indonesia after a year.
