Then the Council can begin preparing the normal UN yearly reports about West Papua which international law (articles 87 & 88) require the Council provide. It is only because of the abnormal UN conduct refusing to allow its left hand (Trusteeship Council) know what its right hand (General Assembly) has done, that the international looting and any extrajudicial executions have been able to continue for the past fifty year nine years.
