NAMRU2 Issue

Re: NAMRU banned from Indonesia

Re: NAMRU banned from Indonesia

Comments;

With the historical perspective brought in this thread, one's better understand the reluctance of Indonesia towards Namru 2.

However, in these critical time, Namru 2 should do its best to comply to legitimate request of Indonesia.

And Indonesia, like any other country should understand that diplomatic immunity is a must for USA.

I better understand Scecretary Leavitt stance that if no deal can be reach, Namru will just go somewhere else, period,

I agree, that on the question of transparency and what Namru 2 is doing with samples should be overview and accepted by the Indonesian government, while I agree that diplomatic immunity is a must for US.

May GovernMentals Power do not forget that civil population should be a high priority.

Indonesia requests to USA, WHO and Big Pharma - Namru2 Discussion #2

Indonesia requests to USA, WHO and Big Pharma - Namru2 Discussion #2

Indonesia requests to USA, WHO and Big Pharma​

The thread
http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63895

Gave us an historical perspective on the relation between Indonesian governmental department and United States governmentals departments.

As clearly shown in the above thread there are agreements done between governments and the WHO.

There where agreements between Indonesia and United States.

There are agreements between WHO and big Pharma.

All of this is interlink and the General Assembly of the WHO is due to meet in May.

Big Pharma will of course be observing the decisions that will be made in Geneva in May.

It appears inevitable that Mutualism is becoming a must for World Wide Health..., and sadly for World Wide Food now.

We must find a solution.

Just with the food problems, we expect not in ten years from now, but in the nezt year alone a possibility of 100 000 MILLIONS of death from long suffering Starvation.

WHO next General Assembly will be an Historical Moment for all of us Human Beings and for Billions of Animals too.

Please,

Consider this thread as an introduction to the next discussion that will happenned in Geneva.

Let's be courteous and Diplomatic, Members here are use to that.

Thank you

Re: NAMRU2 Controversy

Re: NAMRU2 Controversy

After some consideration and consultations with a few members I have decided that to fully understand the Indonesian point of view we need to broaden the discussion beyond Namru2. There are many issues here.

The discussion will continue here and include: Namru2, viral sample sharing, "big pharma", current "boots on the ground" status of H5N1 etc.

Thanks to everyone for a great discussion!

"No matter how small" doesn't make sense.
Except, they want to close it for some reason, which they don't want to
mention and are just looking for another reason which they can present
to the reporters
 
Re: NAMRU2 Issue

Are we still discussing NAMRU-2 in this thread?
This is from Jakarta Post
==================================

Suspicions mount against U.S. laboratory

Abdul Khalik , The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Sat, 04/26/2008 12:02 PM | Headlines

The U.S. Namru-2 research lab has increasingly been accused of providing little benefit to Indonesia, with officials, lawmakers and experts voicing suspicion the lab is used for intelligence activities.

The criticism mounted following the United States' demand that Indonesia grant diplomatic status to all of its 19 citizens working at the Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2 (Namru-2) in Jakarta.

University of Indonesia international law professor Hikmahanto Juwana said diplomatic immunity given to the U.S. researchers violated international law.

He cited the Vienna Convention that says only diplomats are entitled to immunity.

"We are wondering what the use of diplomatic immunity is for a researcher. Are they so in danger of being arrested or prosecuted in their work that they need protection?

"Is Indonesia so weak that they can protect foreigners working here?" he told The Jakarta Post on Friday.

All the questions, he said, led many Indonesians to suspect the American researchers were engaged in other pursuits, including intelligence activities.

Indonesia and the United States are now negotiating a new MOU to extend the operation of Namru-2 after the previous agreement expired in 2005.

Indonesia said Wednesday it decided to grant diplomatic immunity to only two American officials at Namru-2 and demanded the laboratory be more transparent in its operations.

The United States on Thursday asked Indonesia to grant diplomatic status to all its citizens at the laboratory, and denied it was not transparent.

Bantarto Bandoro of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) also called the U.S. medical lab secretive, pointing to complaints made by many government offices that the center is difficult to access.

Several Indonesian officials, including Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari and Defense Minister Juwono Sudarsono, have also said the lab lacks transparency.

Juwono said Thursday the United States had rejected including Indonesian Military (TNI) scientists in the lab's operations.

Former TNI chief Gen. Wiranto and former foreign minister Ali Alatas in 1999 sent a letter asking then president BJ Habibie to stop the operations of Namru-2 because it had compromised Indonesian national security while offering little benefit to the country.

Alatas told the Post on Friday he proposed the action because the laboratory was "excessive" and gave "too many diplomatic status" allowances to the United States.

Member of the House of Representatives' Commission I on defense, security and foreign affairs Mutammimul Ula demanded the government stop Namru-2's operation and investigate allegations that it was used for intelligence activities.

Comments :
its only after Siti Fadilah Supari did what she did that other Indonesian politicians dare to voice their long-time concern publicly about the presence of NAMRU-2 in Indonesia.

Re: Indonesia requests to USA, WHO and Big Pharma

Thanks Ningtyas.

I think your analysis about a decision after the elections may be 100% correct.

I think I will close the other thread and we can discuss all of these issues on this thread now.

Do you think that the current political climate will support WHO operating that laboratory since it is a WHO approved facility?

Maybe yes, as long as it gives direct benefit and not compromise our homeland security.

"may be 100%" ?

may also be 90% or 80% or...

if it's 100% then "may be" can be replaced by "certainly"
