   ¹On 16 Sep 1999 the Indonesian parliament voted to split Irian Jaya into three provinces. Although on 12 Oct 1999 Herman Monim and Abraham O. Atururi were already sworn in as governors of Irian Jaya Tengah and Irian Jaya Barat provinces respectively, on 29 Nov 1999 it was
announced that the division of the province had been postponed indefinitely. On 14 Nov 2003, however, Irian Jaya Barat was split from Papua, while the establishment of Irian Jaya Tengah was further put on hold. On 11 Nov 2004 the Constitutional Court overturned the 1999 law, but
ruled that the already-established province of Irian Jaya Barat should remain intact.
