The research programme Independence, Decolonization, Violence and War in Indonesia 1945-1950 has taken cognisance of the statements of the King. We consider this to be a political matter: it is up to the government to take political and moral standpoints on the basis of the knowledge available. The progress and direction of the current research programme – the results of which will be presented in September 2021 – will therefore not be affected by these statements.
