Territory of Papua
The Territory of Papua comprised the southeastern quarter of the island of New Guinea from 1883 to 1975. In 1883, the Government of Queensland annexed this territory for the British Empire.〔''Commonwealth and Colonial Law'' by Kenneth Roberts-Wray, London, Stevens, 1966. P. 897〕 However, the United Kingdom Government refused to ratify the annexation but in 1884 a Protectorate was proclaimed over the territory, then called "British New Guinea". There is a certain ambiguity about the exact date on which the entire territory was annexed by the British. However, The Papua Act 1905 recites that this happened "on or about" 4 September 1888.〔''Commonwealth and Colonial Law'' by Kenneth Roberts-Wray, London, Stevens, 1966. P. 132〕 On 18 March 1902, the Territory was placed under the authority of the Commonwealth of Australia.〔''Commonwealth and Colonial Law'' by Kenneth Roberts-Wray, London, Stevens, 1966. P. 132 where it is noted that "On March 18, 1902 Letters Patent (& S.I. Rev. II, 1096 ) made for the purposes of section 122 of the Australian Constitution, placed the territory under the Commonwealth of Australia"〕 Resolutions of acceptance, accepting the territory, were passed by the Commonwealth Parliament, who accepted the territory under the name of Papua.〔''Commonwealth and Colonial Law'' by Kenneth Roberts-Wray, London, Stevens, 1966. P. 132〕
In 1949, the Territory and the Territory of New Guinea were established in an administrative union by the name of the Territory of Papua and New Guinea.〔Papua and New Guinea Act, 1949 of the Commonwealth of Australia〕 That administrative union was renamed as Papua New Guinea in 1971.〔Papua New Guinea Act, 1971 of the Commonwealth of Australia〕 Notwithstanding that it was part of an administrative union, the Territory of Papua at all times retained a distinct legal status and identity. It was a Possession of the Crown whereas the Territory of New Guinea was initially a League of Nations mandate territory and subsequently a United Nations trust territory. This important legal and political distinction remained until the advent of the Independent State of Papua New Guinea in 1975.
Papua made up roughly half of the current-day Papua New Guinea and contained the territory's capital, Port Moresby which then became the capital of the independent country.
