Juha Christensen is a Finnish businessman, philanthropist[1] and negotiator who played an instrumental role in the 2005 Aceh peace process.[2][3][4] He was also involved in negotiations leading to the release of Phillip Mark Mehrtens, a New Zealand pilot taken hostage by the West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB) during the 2023 Nduga hostage crisis.[5]

Life

Christensen is a former pharmaceutical executive.[3] Before becoming involved in the Aceh peace process, he had lived for several decades in Indonesia,[6][7][8] and spoke Indonesian fluently.[9]

Involvement in Aceh peace process

In June 2003 and acting on his own initiative, Christensen went to Stockholm where he initiated discussions with leaders of the Free Aceh Movement.[10][8] In February 2004 Christensen contacted Martti Ahtisaari, the former President of Finland, who he knew personally,[11] to become involved in peace negotiations.[10] Christensen was also able to connect another old friend, Farid Husain,[12] then the Indonesian Minister of Health, with Ahtisaari and the Finnish CMI (Crisis Management Initiative). Christensen was an active participant in the peace negotiations.[6][9] As a result of the negotiations that followed, a peace agreement between the parties in conflict was signed in Helsinki on 15 August 2005.[13][14]

Following the peace agreement, Christensen was a special adviser to the Aceh Monitoring Mission (AMM) until 2006.[15]

In 2015, Christensen negotiated the surrender and disarming of Din Minimi,[16][17] a former GAM militant, and 30 of his followers east of Banda Aceh.[18][19][20][21]

As of 2017, Christensen is the general manager of Pacta (Architecture Peace and Conflict Transformation Alliance), a Finnish peace organization that he co-founded.[22][15]

Christensen was invited to join the Asian Peace and Reconciliation Council as a founding member.[23][24]
