Home About Us Print Products Electronic Products ... Trial Overview Hot Topics: East Timor September 1999 Violent aftermath of East Timor referendum In response to the violent backlash by pro-Indonesia militias against the decisive vote for independence in the referendum held on Aug. 30 in East Timor [see p. 43108], the UN assembled and despatched a peacekeeping force to the territory, its first troops arriving in Dili (the capital of East Timor) on Sept. 20. The result of the referendum-agreed in May between Indonesia and the former colonial power Portugal [see p. 42946]-was announced on Sept. 4 simultaneously by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in New York and Ian Martin, head of the UN Assessment Mission in East Timor (UNAMET), in Dili. Of the 438,968 valid votes cast (98.6 per cent of the registered voters) 78.5 per cent (344,580 votes) were in favour of independence whilst 21.5 per cent (94,388) chose autonomy within Indonesia. Within hours of the announcement, the celebrations of those who had voted for independence were cut short by the resumption of ferocious attacks with guns and machetes by pro-Indonesian militias who targeted both foreign and Indonesian journalists and UN workers as well as local people. In Dili Indonesian troops stood by without intervening as the militiamen rampaged through the city and many people fled to the UNAMET compound where hundreds had already taken refuge. Thousands more sought shelter in the compound of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and at the official residence of Bishop Carlos Felipe Ximenes Belo, the 1996 Nobel Peace laureate. A US policeman was shot and seriously wounded, the UN's first foreign casualty, although at least four of its local workers had already been killed since the day of the referendum and six were reported missing.

EAST TIMOR - 1997
Statement: The situation in East Timor is a war of national liberation in exercise of the right to self-determination. Background: East Timor was a Portuguese colony for over 300 years. In 1975, as Portugal was preparing to grant independence to the territory, the Indonesian army mounted an invasion, annexed East Timor (in 1976), and has occupied the territory ever since. The U.N. has never recognized its sovereignty. Indonesia has waged a brutal counterinsurgency campaign of political imprisonment, arbitrary arrest, murder and rape against the resistance movement. In 1991 the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Torture visited Indonesia and East Timor and found torture commonplace. During the occupation, up to 200,000 Timorese (approximately one-third of the population) have died of disease, starvation or have been murdered. Since the occupation, there have been several public massacres. Most recently, in November 1991, soldiers fired on a peaceful demonstration of approximately 2000 in the Santa Cruz cemetery of Dili. Up to 270 people may have died and another 200 have "disappeared." There is evidence that some of the wounded taken to a military hospital were deliberately killed. The United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extra-Judicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions found reasons to believe that the killings were a planned military operation. Ten low-ranking members of the security forces were charged with disobeying orders and one with assault or cutting off of the ears of a demonstrator. Six senior officers were found guilty of misconduct. Although no officers were charged with serious assault or murder, thirteen civilians participating in the protest were sentenced to terms up to life imprisonment.

Salesianerbischof Belo zurückgetreten Am 26.11.2002 erreichte die Internationale Missionsprokur der Salesianer Don Boscos in Bonn die Nachricht, dass Friedensnobelpreisträger Bischof Carlos Felipe Ximenes Belo, SDB den Heiligen Vater gebeten hat, ihn aus Rücksicht auf seine Gesundheit zu entpflichten. Der Papst hat das Gesuch angenommen. Bischof Belo hat sich während der Zeit des Bürgerkrieges in Ost-Timor und in der nachfolgenden Epoche des Wiederaufbaus voll und ganz und ohne Rücksicht auf seine Person und seine Gesundheit für die Belange der ärmsten Bevölkerung eingesetzt. Er hat seinen Rücktritt eingehend mit Pater Chávez, dem Generaloberen der Salesianischen Kongregation sowie dem Apostolischen Nuntius und den entsprechenden Abteilungen des Vatikans besprochen. Bischof Belo wird weiterhin in Ost-Timor wirken und andere Aufgaben übernehmen.

PROSES PENGADILAN TIMTIM JAKARTA Kamis ini di Jakarta dimulai proses pengadilan terhadap 18 aparat polisi, tentara dan pejabat yang terlibat kekerasan di Timor Timur tahun 1999. Salah seorang tertuduh adalah mantan Gubernur Timtim, Abilio Soares. Ia dituduh "mengetahui atau menghindari informasi tentang pelanggaran HAM berat teradap warga sipil di provinsinya". Radio Nederland menghubungi Monsigneur Carlos Felipe Ximenes Belo kepala keuskupan Dili, ibukota Timor Loro Sa'e. Pertama-tama kami tanyakan apa tanggapannya mengenai proses Pengadilan di Jakarta ini. Belum Cukup Bila Hanya di Bawah
Monsigneur Carlos Belo [MB] "Saya belum puas 100%, karena yang di atas itu belum disentuh. Jenderal Wiranto, Faisal Tandjung, karena di bawah ini kalau Gubernur, Danrem, Kapolres, Kapolda itu yang dipanggil, itu mungkin belum cukup."
Radio Nederland [RN]: "Bagaimana kenyataan bahwa akhirnya masalah pelanggaran HAM ini untuk pertama kali bisa disidangkan di Indonesia?" Orang Daerah Menjalankan Perintah Orang Pusat
MB: "Itu salah satu hal yang sudah positif, tapi masih di tengah jalan. Karena orang-orang daerah yang melaksanakan itu hanya mengikuti perintah dari pusat, dari Jakarta. Dan yang kedua, memang kalau Gubernur Kepala Daerah itu juga harus diminta keterangannya sebagai kepala daerah, tapi toh dia juga saya kira di bawah KementErian Dalam Negeri dan Polkam."

Uskup Belo Mengundurkan Diri Oleh Joss Wibisono Uskup Dili Monsinyor Carlos Felipe Ximenes Belo dikabarkan mengundurkan diri. Pengunduran diri peraih Hadiah Nobel Perdamaian ini tentu saja menimbulkan banyak pertanyaan. Apalagi Uskup Belo merupakan faktor penting dalam kemerdekaan Timor Leste. Ada apa di balik pengunduran diri ini? Radio Nederland menghubungi Aderito Hugo da Costa pemimpin redaksi harian Timor Post di Dili, yang pertama kali memberitakan pengunduran diri Uskup Belo. Berdasarkan surat resmi Uskup Belo Aderito Hugo da Costa [AHC]: "Berita pengunduran diri itu sebenarnya sudah tersebar di media di Portugal ketika Uskup Belo masih ada di Portugal. Berita yang menyatakan bahwa Uskup Belo menyampaikan pengunduran diri. Tapi setelah berita itu beredar Uskup kembali menyatakan bahwa berita itu tidak benar. Tapi sampai pada akhir minggu lalu itu, kita berhasil mengorek Uskup Belo mengeluarkan suatu pernyataan yang kita publikasikan di Timor Pos. Bahwa Uskup mengatakan dalam waktu dekat keuskupan Dili akan segera punya Uskup baru." "Setelah kita publikasikan itu paginya, Uskup Belo sore hari kemarin jam 16.00, mengeluarkan surat yang menyatakan bahwa permintaan pengunduran diri yang diajukan Uskup Belo ke Paus itu telah disetujui. Itu berita yang keluar hari ini yang berdasarkan pada surat yang dikeluarkan resmi oleh Uskup Belo sendiri."

Apapun alasannya, (diberitakan Mgr Belo merasa keselamatannya terancam) dengan menolak datang maka berarti Uskup Belo sudah tidak percaya lagi pada Pengadilan Ad Hoc HAM Timor Timur. Bukan hanya itu. Dengan menolak datang, maka Pemenang Hadiah Nobel Perdamaian tahun 1996 ini sekaligus juga mendesak

Chapter One
East Timor
Short Biography East Timor forms part of one of the easternmost islands of the Indonesian archipelago. Located three hundred miles north of Australia and some nine hundred miles east of Jakarta, this tiny territory was the victim of Indonesian aggression, as well as general international acquiescence to the blatant violations of human rights and international law that were perpetrated by the Indonesian government since it invaded East Timor in 1975. In the years following that invasion, an estimated 230,000 East Timorese (one-third of an original population of 690,000) lost their lives due to starvation, epidemics, war, and terror. Economic and strategic ties to the Indonesian government led most of the world's major powers to cooperate with Jakarta without regard to the serious legal and human rights issues raised by the situation in East Timor. East Timor was first settled by Portuguese traders in 1520. The Dutch began to expand to the island of Timor and wrested control over West Timor from the Portuguese in the seventeenth century. An 1859 treaty established the current borders. West Timor, administered as part of the Dutch East Indies, became part of Indonesia in 1946, while East Timor, with a different language, religion, and customs from its island neighbor, remained part of the Portuguese colonial empire. Unlike Indonesia, which is the most populous Muslim nation in the world, with more than 190 million people, East Timor is populated primarily by Roman Catholics.
