According to several NGOs which are involved in the promotion of human rights in Papua, there has been no change in the human rights situation in Papua in the first one hundred days of administration of Lukas Enambe and Klemen Tinal (Lukmen).

They also said that the new administration has done nothing at all with regard to human rights violations which have occurred in the past; they have said nothing at all in public about this.

Nehemia Yarinap from the organisation BUK – United for Truth – said in a statement to the Antara News Agency that he does not expect anything to happen with regard to human rights in the coming five years. He said that the recent statement made by the Governor of Papua focused on the question of welfare and said nothing about human rights.' This clearly shows that nothing will be done about human rights,' he said.

Paul Mambrasar who represents Els-Ham was also pessimistic about any changes in the human rights situation in the coming five years. 'The Lukmen administration is under the control of the political parties which are in power at present.

The Lukmen administration came to power on 11 April 2013. The pair won the election, beating five other candidate pairs. In the statement about their first one hundred days, the Lukmen pair said that they intend to enter into communication with forces which are responsible for the security situation in Papua, in order to try an present further acts of violence.
