"Because it is now known what was wrong in the past, I have now become the subject. I now have the right to stand up for myself. To decide for myself. And that right will be recognized by the world. The world will recognize our struggle and the world will have to respect our human rights." (Amungme leader Tom Beanal, November 2005)
