Authors

Abstract
The conflict that occurred in Papua is a long conflict that is so
complicated in Indonesia. The conflict in Papua began with the emergence of a
separatist movement which every year, there is almost always a gunfight that
results in casualties. On September 13, 2021, there was an attack by TPNPB-OPM
on health professionals at the Kiwirok District Health Center, Papua. The
attack also led to medical personnel causing the loss of the life of a health
professional. International humanitarian law has guaranteed protection for
non-combatants, which includes health professionals. For health professionals
who only carry out humanitarian duties, they must be respected and protected
under any circumstances so that the attack by TPNPB-OPM is an act that cannot
be justified according to international humanitarian law.
