- 2019 September 26, Eka Kurniawan, “Indonesia Has a Papua Problem”, in The New York Times‎^[1]:
  The region of Papua remained under Dutch control after Indonesia proclaimed its independence in 1945. But it was incorporated into Indonesia in 1969 after a much-criticized pseudoreferendum organized by the United Nations, despite the objections of local liberation groups.
- 2022 September 28, Isobel Koshiw, Andrew Roth, “Zelenskiy vows to defend Ukrainians in occupied regions as ‘referendum’ results announced”, in The Guardian‎^[2]:
  “Russia’s recognition of the pseudo-referendums as ‘normal’, implementation of the so-called Crimean scenario, and yet another attempt to annex Ukrainian territory means that there is nothing to talk about,” he said in a video message.
