The Conflict
West Irian, as result of an agreement between comity of nations was required to be handed over to Indonesia by Netherland for subsequent plebiscite. It was a matter of great honour that Pakistan was asked to undertake the exclusive responsibility of establishing United Nation Temporary Executive Authority in maintaining law and order in this part of the world until it was handed over to Indonesia in the following year.
Pakistan's participation in the United Nations Security Force (UNSF) in West Irian, from 1960 to 1964, was instrumental in preventing war between Indonesia and Portugal.
