In this video, he said Djakarta, Augustus 17, 1945 (seribus sembilan ratus empatpuluh lima). A bit confusing this seemingly contradiction. --112.205.7.91 (talk) 20:37, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

recognition of Indonesians independence date

[edit]

I have attached many sources to substantiate the fact that the international community has accepted 1949 as official Independence date of Indonesia and not the proclamation. Also the page of the US embessady is attached to show the 1949 date. The UN page also shows the 1949 date as official date. The only source which shows the 1945 date was an Indonesian article in an Indonesian magazine which is not a reliable source if all other international sources contradict this. It seems Indonesian nationalists are changes the facts on this page by a mythical story without using reliable sources. --BabiBandung (talk) 14:11, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

These are the sources;

</ref> The International community has officially accepted 27 december 1949 as it's Independence date.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Sorry to disappoint you, but Arab League (obviously an international community) recognised Indonesia's 1945 independence in March 1946. See also the official website of Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Bluesatellite (talk) 04:13, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to disappoint you but march 1946 is not august 1945, ity's about attention at that period for the proclamation, six months later is not attention, it's a very delayed attention. Or you must change the date that attention for the proclamation came after 6 months or so, but not in 1945. No newspaper reported the proclamation at that time so we can't say the prclamation got worldwide attention. It was due the Battle of Surabay that the struglle got attantion. Egypt was occupied by Brittish troops in 1946, they left in 1954, and the Arab league was a regional organisation (not a community), in which most countries were still occupied by Allied troops, so no De Jure recognition could take place. Nazi Germany was also occupied. The only recognition would be De facto, The Netherlands US, UK, Australia also recognized Indonesia de facto in november 1946 (Linggadjati Agreement). Outside Indonesia no country has recognized Indonesian independence date of 1945, only Indonesia. If you have a document other countries officially recognized Indonesia in 1945 it can be changed, but second hand sources are not reliable if newspapers show 1949. This is the original official document of Indonesian Independence, many countries were present as a witness. Please read and read the official documents of many countries regarding official date of Indonesian independence;

To end with the sources you show; You stated that the Arab league recognized Indonesian independence, but the source you show states that the Arab league SUPPORTS Indonesian independence at the time they recognized Syrian indepndence, so the source shows no recognition; — Preceding unsigned comment added by BabiBandung (talkcontribs) 15:11, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The second source of Egypt is not reliable, as we all know Egypt was still occupied by the UK, your last source also stated that the Arab league wanted withdrwl from Suez by the British, so Egypt had no official governmnent body, it's just propaganda. Als Egyptian sources are not very trustfull because of the Muslimbrotherhood in the country.

Source one Resolution 45 March 1946 Support for Indonesian independence , this shows there was no recognition in 1945. Source two states: "Indonesia declared independence on 17 August 1945", it doesn't state Indonesia became independent in 1945. This again shows Indonesia was not recognized de jure in 1945. Source two also states; "The mission was a response to a resolution of the Arab League Foreign Ministers Council on 18 Nov­ember 1946 recognizing Indonesia’s independence", again this was a respons of the https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Linggadjati_Agreement It is recognizing De Facto, not the Jure, which also means that de fact the Netherlands already had recognized Indonesian independence de facto, not de jure. Ths ource doesn't show an official recognition, especuially not if you look at the UN documents. If you have an original document of the UN, or Indonesian government in which it was officially it would help to show. ( Such an document shoulf be on display because of it's importance), so only de facto recognition, not official. Official recognition of these countries is after 1949. Source three : Egypt was occupied by UK! https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/History_of_Egypt_under_the_British#Continued_occupation_(1922%E2%80%9356)

But regarding to Egypt, this will explain something;

https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/69477429?searchTerm=Indonesia+egypt+1950

I think you must read the documents of the UN and the agreements made at the RTC because your view is a bit Indonesian warpropaganda telling, your sources are all second hand.

These are first hand sources, please read them and your reaction;

"In July 1947 Australia granted de facto recognition to Republic of Indonesia."

"relations between the two countries started in 1948, during Indonesia’s struggle to gain international recognition for its independence from its former colonial power in 1945."

Canada, through General Andrew McNaughton as the President of the United Nations’ Security Council, helped to break the deadlock in the negotiation on resolving the conflict between Indonesia and the Netherlands that resulted in the adoption of Resolution 67/1949, which endorsed the establishment of a Tripartite Commission to hold negotiations with Indonesia and the Netherlands. The Tripartite negotiations lead to the international recognition of Indonesia’s sovereignty in December 1949.

This page from the Canadian governments site shows that in 1948 Indonesia did not gain international recognition;

--BabiBandung (talk) 18:12, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, there's no absolute truth in history. There's a winner and a loser in a war, there are multiple views of story. It is not Wikipedia to decide which opinion is better and which one is a propaganda whatsoever. Both views should be represented fairly as long as they're supported with reliable sources. I keep BOTH 1945 and 1949 as the independence date of Indonesia on this article, while YOU keep deleting the 1945 recognition which clearly show how BIAS you are. Bluesatellite (talk) 01:21, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is not about history, this is abot fact, and the fact is that the intrnational communit had official accepted 1949, not 1949 as you keep lying, your sources are not rliable, so stop adding those sources, the sources i have shown are sources with facts, no views. Wikipedia is not the place to write Indonesian school propaganda like the Indonesians want the history to be. Indonesia has also accepted 1949 as Indepndence date as i have shown.

--BabiBandung (talk) 17:07, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Another source;

"....Indonesia is a former Dutch colony which declared its independence on August 17, 1945. However, it was not internationally recognised until December 27, 1949, when the Netherlands formally transferred the sovereignty of the Dutch East Indies....."

" Indonesia’s effort toward self-determination can be observed in many crucial phases in the country’s history. The first phase is the Declaration of Independence on August 17, 1945, two days after Japan’s capitulation to the Ally power. Soedjatmoko pointed out that Dutch power in Indonesia collapsed in the face of Japanese advance in 1941-1942. During this period of Japanese occupation, the nationalists made their best effort to gain support and consolidate their power.7

The second phase is the signing of Linggadjati Agreement in 1947 between the Netherlands Commission-General and delegations of the Republic of Indonesia. However, this agreement practically nullified the independence proclamation; instead, it declared the establishment of the United States of Indonesia (USI) under the Kingdom of the Netherlands which covered Java, Madura, and Sumatra Islands. However, the Dutch East Indies could decide not to join USI, which means that they would remain part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This agreement implied the Netherlands’ recognition of the new republic as a ‘de facto government’.8 Then these results were strengthened by the Renville political principles of January 17, 1948.

The third is the 14 UN Security Council’s resolutions on Indonesian question which were issued from August 1, 1947 to January 28, 1949.9 This included the UN Security Council’s call for ceasefire on August 1, 1947 at Lake Success, New York, which stated that Noting with concern the hostilities in progress between the armed forces of the Netherlands and the Republic of Indonesia, call upon the parties to cease hostilities forthwith, and to settle their dispute by arbitration or by other peaceful means and keep the Security Council informed about the progress of the settlement.10

The fourth is the establishment of the United Nations Commission for Indonesia (UNCI) under the resolution of January 28, 1949 in order to ensure the implementation of the Security Council resolution and the transfer of sovereignty from the Netherlands to Indonesia.11

The fifth is the Round Table Conference (RTC) on December 27, 1949 in the Hague, when the Dutch transferred its sovereignty to Indonesia as the successor of the Dutch East Indies, excluding West Papua.12

The sixth is the de facto recognition of the Republic by the members of the Arab League on March 15, 1947, recognition of the United States on April 27, 1947, a treaty of friendship with the Republic of Egypt on June 11, 1947, and a treaty of friendship with Syria on July 2, 1947.13

The shift from the United States of Indonesia to the Unitary State of Indonesia was not immediately apparent for analysis. This shift actually took place following the transfer of sovereignty in March 1950 when President Soekarno promulgated an emergency law. According to Taylor, this was intended to enable ‘political reform’ to be initiated by each state, the USI government, or by any territory without the status of a state.14 This period is considered to be essential for the establishment of a unitary Indonesia on May 19, 1950. However, it is not clear how Soekarno, in just two days after issuing the emergency law, could secure agreements which stated that the federal territories of East Java, Central Java, Madura, Padang, and Sabang were to be incorporated into the Republic of Indonesia. These claims clearly violated the rights of self-determination of the people as mentioned in the Linggadjati Agreement, the agreement of transitional actions, and Article 2 of the Round Table Conference; it also opened an opportunity for any territory within the former territory of the Dutch East Indies to plebiscite. The dispute concerning the best form of government for Indonesia—between the United States of Indonesia as proposed in the Linggadjati Agreement and the Unitary Republic of Indonesia as proposed by Indonesian nationalists—has been a matter of contention since the early stages of Indonesian independence.15 The claim of Indonesia as a post-colonial territory of the Netherlands was supported by some arguments in the General Assembly Resolution of 1946 which included the Netherlands East Indies as ‘non self-governing territories..."

Another source;

"...The formal recognition of Indonesia was made possible by the ratification of the Linggadatji agreement by the Dutch House of representatives on 25 March 1947. As early as 1946, in a speech delivered at the American University of Cairo, the first secreatary general of the Arab league, Abdul Rahman Hassan Azzam, expressed his support fort he independence of the Arab states as well as Indonesia. Without being formally recognized as a sovereign state, the republic of Indonesia had recieved de facto recognition on the part of the Netherlands. Numorous other states followed this step, among them Australia, Burma, India, the Phillipines, the United Kingdom an the United States. Arab and muslim majority countries were also among the first states to formally recognize the independence of Indonesia. Many of them are even said to have walked one step ahead of most other states. According to Ali Sastroamidjojo, who was then minister of education and a future prime minister, the Linggadjati agreement was followed by the de jure recognition on the part of Egypt, iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran and Afghanistan. Whether the signature of friendship treaties with these states, especially Egypt, on 10-11 June 1947 and Syria on 2 July 1947 does actually constitute de jure recognition is still object of debate in international law. It is clear, however that Indonesia enjoyed a privileged relationship with these states during it’s march towards independence. These ties did not, however seem tob e pursued when independence was finally granted to Indonesia on 27 December 1949. Sukarno, in fact, displayed a certain degree of distrust towards these states and especially their citizens....."

No matter how hard you try to find one-sided sources from the allies of World War II, the Arab world community STILL recognised the proclamation back in 1946, and you continuously and disruptively removed it. It against the neutrality of Wikipedia, please just back off and respect this website's guideline. Bluesatellite (talk) 22:45, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Arab world is not a country and you don't show any source that supports your claim. it's indeed against the neutral;ity of Wikipedia. Maybe you should read the Wikipedia guidelines and learn about the neutrality of sources. And your claim; "one-sided sources from the allies of World War II"does not show your neutrality in this matter. If you can show with other sources that these sopurces are not neutral we can discuss.

--BabiBandung (talk) 13:28, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have looked at all the sources but I cannot find anything that shows that the Arab states recognized Indonesia in 1946. I also see nowhere convincing evidence that Indonesia was internationally recognized in 1945 or that the proclamation received international attention. I think the sources of BabiBandung are more reliable as these sources are neutral. I will return the page to the earlier version of BabiBandung and I will ad Egypt and Indonesia to accept the date of 1945. I hope to reach a compromise with this?

There is a constant violation of the article by the user Bluesatellite. He adapts the article to his vision all the time without consulting the other sources. His sources are not neutral and not in accordance with reality. The man tries to force an Indonesian state vision through Wikipedia. He has no sources that supports his claims only Indonesian and as we can see that he doesn't know what neutrality is? --BabiBandung (talk) 13:21, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No honey, don't twist the problem. It's you who always removed the claim by Egypt and Arab League. The man tries to force an Indonesian state vision through Wikipedia. --> What the hell? My sources came from Middle East itself, not Indonesian-language ones. It's reliable and neutrality means that you put perspective of both sides, which I did. On the other hand, YOU (a Dutch citizen oblviously) keep trying to force you ex-colonial propaganda through Wikipedia. I included BOTH 1945 and 1949 recognition, so thank you. Bluesatellite (talk) 01:18, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Changed again to the neutral international version instead of the Indonesian Statevision. I will atatche an article about the Indonesian lobby for international recognition of the date of 1945, because Indonesian lobby has reached the Wikipedia site with false information. Sources from the Middle east that supports the claim of the middle east it's not nautral, Sources from Indonesia who support the claim of Indonesia are not reliable. Sources from outside the Netherlands and Indonesia are more reliable. I'm not a Dutch citizen, but you are an Indonesian citizen oblviously whos is indoctrinated by Stata propoganda. Yopu only believe Muslim and Indonesian sources. That's nice but you need more than one source to make something rialible. As you can see i don't use Dutch or Indonesian sources to keep the article neutral, so maybe use other sources instead of unrialable sources? There is no official 1945 recognition, that's only what Indonesia and Indonesian want. Fact is that official recognition is 1949. Live with that fact and don't change the facts. Indonesia has official accepted 19489, not 1945. The document of 1949 supports this claim. Your sources don't include official documents, only webpages, so show the original documenst or stop wining. Your a smple case of cognitive dissonance. Also claims like the majority of the Indonesians wanted independence isn't supported by a source. If the majority of 80 million people supported independence why did the indepndence war only occurred on Java and Sumatra, wher was the war on New Guinea, Borneo etc? It's a contradiction with reality.

Grow up an learn to do historical reasearch.

--BabiBandung (talk) 13:45, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have many concerns about the view of Bluesatellite;

1. "The proclamation gained recognition from Egypt[9][10] and the Arab League in 1946." The sources don't support the recognition of the proclamation. It's also not an independent source; https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Independent_sources It's also a suggestive remark due the fact more countries recognised de facto the RI supported by the linggadjati agreement; http://www.houseofdavid.ca/linggadjati.htm 2. "Indonesia was under colonial rule by the Dutch in some parts for 300 years." It is hard to believe Indonesia was a country before the Dutch colonised the ares what we call Indonesia today. Also West New Guinea wasn't part of the country untill 1963. 3. "The invasion by the Japanese in Indonesia added a new dynamic for the fight for independence." I cannot belive the Japanese invaded Indonesia while this article discusses the proclamation for independence in 1945, while the invasion was in 1942. That is a contradiction. 4. "The Japanese defeated the Dutch in 1942 and moved into Indonesia, and this helped push the Dutch out and assisted towards the proclamation of independence." I never read about the Japanese defeating the Dutch in Suriname or Europe, maybe the defeated the colonial army in th Dutch East Indies? 5. "Initially, the proclamation was to be announced at Djakarta central square" Strange because the name of the city was in that year; batavia. Djakarta became the name in 1949! https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Batavia,_Dutch_East_Indies

Violoting of this article by Indonesian nationalists

[edit]

It seems this article is constantly violated by Bluesatellite with and Indonesian stateview view on the proclamation. Unriliable sources and trying to neglect international sources or international law.

I have changed the article agin back to the reliable sources and international accepted view. Maybe Bluesatellite should grow up, because it's getting childish. Also no discussion from this person only harresments.--BabiBandung (talk) 13:34, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest winding it back to the last stable version (Oct or Nov) and locking the article until consensus is found. I also suggest that Bluesatellite and BandungBabi are editing warring, and should step back and use the talk page lest they risk a block. regards --Merbabu (talk) 03:23, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merbabu I agree with the status quo, and been trying to restore to the stable version (September 2019) and ignoring ALL my edits in this page. However, this babi keeps undoing the stable version back to his totally BIASED version. How could a section titled "rewriting history" be neutral? He is a Dutch as seen from his Google search domain. Also, since when is BLOGSPOT considered reliable? If he refused to use the stable version, then he deserves the WP:BLOCK. Bluesatellite (talk) 11:00, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for stepping in. Bleussattelte has completely destroyed a good article in a propaganda piece which does not fit the facts. Jakarta was renamed in 1949, but mister sattelite wants it to be 1945 and so on. Hope he will het his block evnetually. --BabiBandung (talk) 18:03, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
