Bob Loughman told the UN General Assembly that the indigenous people of West Papua continue to suffer human rights violations under Indonesian rule.
In recent years both the Pacific islands Forum and the African, Carribbean and Pacific Group of countries have sought UN scrutiny of the rights situation in Papua.
Both groups of countries had urged Indonesia to allow the UN Human Rights Commissioner's Office to visit Papua and provide an independent assessment.
"To date there has been little progress on this front," Loughman said.
