22 October, 2002
Dr José Ramos-Horta I often enjoy chatting with my friends back in Timor about what I did with some colleagues in the 60s in our High School in Timor. I was always very bad in Maths, Physics, Chemistry and we had a small gang of colleagues who would steal the pass. I heard there was a huge scandal in England recently and I'm very sympathetic to Tony Blair for wading through that embarrassing scandal with exams. Well, we would steal it, then sit the paper and would get some decent grades. Or if we did not succeed in stealing the paper beforehand, we knew the teachers would keep the completed tests in their office for 2 or 3 days before they started doing the corrections. So we would go into their rooms and then replace the tests.
Until one day we were caught. We were caught because of two friends of mine - one actually worked for many years here in Melbourne at SBS, a Timorese lady. She and her sister and two others were suspicious of our good grades and started putting pressure on us to share with them. So my group met. It was almost like a council of ministers. We met to discuss what to do, and I recall I was the only person who voted no. I said, "We must not.". In those years I was not terribly conscious of gender issues, and I said to my colleagues, "Let us not involve women here. They would mess up everything".
The school teacher, a very tough Portuguese lady went to the weak link, spoke to the two ladies and they confessed. So we were caught and then we met again to decide how to respond. I told my colleagues, "Best if we actually admit our culpability, but we must also ask the Rector to forgive the girls because they were not responsible. We were the ones who induced them in this terrible mistake". I told my colleagues, "If we do that, they might even praise us for being such gentlemen." And actually that's what we did. We got one week's suspension from school, which we didn't mind because we then went to the beach to enjoy ourselves, and received a note of commendation for our chivalry.

Nobel Laureate Slams
"Fascist China," "Arrogant" Suharto
by Gary Gach
American Reporter Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO ~ Dr. José Ramos-Horta is an exemplary statesman. He has played a central role in East Timorese politics since the founding of pro-independence politics there. In 1975, he urged the UN to take action to protect his homeland from the Indonesian military onslaught. In 1992, Ramos-Horta formally presented the National Council of Maubere Resistance (CNRM) three-stage peace plan before the European Parliament, calling for a phased resolution of the conflict, release of political priosners, and respect for human rights. In 1996, culminating a career devoted to the struggle for justice, Ramos-Horta shared the Nobel Peace Prize with East Timorese Bishop Carlos Felipe Ximenes Belo. They were honored for "their sustained and self-sacrificing contributions for a small but oppressed people." The American Reporter interviewed the Nobel laureate in his hotel suite, during his visit to San Francisco in June to be keynote speaker at both the Second World Congress on Family Law and The Rights of Children and Youth, and a conference called Peacemaking: the power of nonviolence Dr. Ramos-Horta is about 5'7", dark-eyed, swarthy, with wavy black hair. Besides his familiar wire-rimmed glasses, he wore a white shirt with Nehru collar, black and white vest, and dark slacks. He speaks in an expressive, bass voice with great eloquence as well as lucidity, force, and wit.

(b. Dec. 26, 1949, Dili, East Timor), exiled East Timor political activist who, along with Bishop Carlos F.X. Belo , received the 1996 Nobel Prize for Peace for his efforts to bring peace and independence to East Timor, which has been under Indonesian control since 1975. Ramos-Horta's mother was a native Timorese, and his father was a Portuguese national who was deported to East Timor for revolting against the dictator Antonio Salazar. After studying law in the United States, Ramos-Horta returned to East Timor (then still a colony of Portugal) to participate in the independence movement. His activities brought the ire of the Portuguese rulers, and he was forced to flee to Mozambique in 1970. Returning in 1972, Ramos-Horta sided with the Fretilin faction in the East Timor civil war. The Fretilin gained control of the government on Nov. 28, 1975, and declared East Timor an independent nation; Ramos-Horta was named foreign minister. However, Indonesia invaded East Timor nine days later, and Ramos-Horta was again forced into exile. Eventually settling in Sydney, Australia, Ramos-Horta joined the faculty of the University of New South Wales. From this position he became one of the primary voices for East Timor in the international arena. He spoke out against human rights violations by the occupying Indonesian military forces, and he promoted a peace plan to end the violence in his country.

Mr Horta: A thorn in the side of Indonesia's Government
By News Online's Joe Havely For almost a quarter of a century Jose Ramos Horta has been a leading figure in the campaign against Indonesia's occupation of East Timor. Since fleeing the former Portuguese colony just three days before Indonesian troops invaded, he has lived a life in exile lobbying foreign governments and the UN on the East Timorese cause. Mr Horta has led international protests over East Timor's plight
Years of pressing the world to care about the plight of East Timor have turned his life into what he describes as an "emotional rollercoaster". Branded a criminal and a traitor by the Indonesian Government, in 1996 he was jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize alongside Bishop Carlos Belo, the leader of East Timor's majority Catholic population. At the time the Nobel committee said it hoped its decision would spur efforts to solve East Timor's problems "based on the people's right to self-determination".

    As human beings we must always pause and ask ourselves if the use of force to deter violence or to halt the perpetrators of terrorism and genocide is the only option available. Again I have reflected on the decision by the US and its allies to use force against the Taliban regime and Osama Bin Laden terror network. In confronting this painful and agonizing question, my conscience tells me that the use of force was inevitable and necessary. In 1999, the East Timorese people were brutalized, murdered, and the country thoroughly destroyed. We appealed to the US, Australia, Portugal and the UN to send in forces to save our people. More than 30 countries responded and an international force finally landed in our country. They saved our people. As human beings we must always pause, reflect and resist the temptation to use force and the practice of an eye for an eye. However, there are times, when the use of force is legitimate and necessary. In the face of evil, invocation of false pacifism leads to inaction and betrayal of the victims of oppression. For this reason, as I stand here today, I endorse the use of force against the Taliban regime that oppresses its own people, has taken Afghanistan back to the Dark Ages, and is harboring an international terrorist network.

    INTERVIEW: JOSE RAMOS HORTA
    Plans for Peace, Prosperity
    Jose Ramos Horta sees independent East Timor as a regional player, bolstered by oil and gas revenues and able to develop relations with Indonesia that preclude the need for excessive troops on their borders. THE MAIN international lobbyist for East Timorese independence since the Indonesian invasion in December 1975, Jose Ramos Horta is now cabinet member for foreign affairs in the United Nations-guided interim administration of the territory, awaiting full independence in April or May next year. His relentless efforts earned him the 1996 Nobel Peace Prize, which he shared with Bishop Carlos Beloanother staunch opponent of Indonesia's military rule over East Timor, which ended when the UN intervened two years ago. In Dili, Ramos Horta spoke about the regional and diplomatic challenges for an independent East Timor with the REVIEW's Bertil Lintner on August 31. Excerpts: WILL YOU APPLY FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THE ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHEAST ASIAN NATIONS AND PACIFIC ISLANDS FORUM? AND DO YOU VIEW SUCH MEMBERSHIPS AS "LIFE INSURANCE" IN CASE YOUR RELATIONS WITH INDONESIA DETERIORATE?

    Disturbing the Purchased Peace with Nobel Laureate Jose Ramos Horta
    Interviewed by W. David Kubiak
    Japan Civil Liberties Union, Kyoto
    WDK : Sri Jose Ramos Horta, here you are a Nobel Laureate for a lifetime spent campaigning for the freedom of East Timor. Can you give a capsule history of this struggle and how you became involved in it? I became much more involved then in the 70s prior to and after the invasion of East Timor in l975. My role has always been in the area of international relations and media. My job has been to canvas support at the grassroots level in Australia, New Zealand, in that region. That was in the beginning. To engage in dialogue with the governments of the region, parliamentarians, NGOs. And then as the invasion came I left for New York leading a delegation to the UN Security Council. There I remained for almost 15 years before I got exhausted, burned out with New York and left for Sydney, Australia. WDK : So, a day in the life of a New York revolutionary. How did you actually occupy your time there? JRH: Well, I was always busy, every single day going to that place called the United Nations, meeting with diplomats, finding them in the corridors, in the delegates' lounge, phoning them at the missions, always briefing them, talking to them, persuading them, preparing for the debates in the decolonization committee, in the General Assembly of the UN every year, also trying to give some lectures around the United States; also going to Washington, D.C. to meet with US Congressional Aides; also occasionally I would do some travels outside the United States like going to Cuba once. I went to Barbados, Ghayana, Mexico, Brazil, a few European countries, half of Africa I covered at that time. At the same time, trying to cultivate the American media: New York Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, NPR all without much success.

    Ramos-Horta: "No Timorese family has escaped violence." Ramos-Horta bares plans for East Timor self-domination "East Timor was a footnote casualty of the Cold War, an obscure footnote because nobody took note of it at the time," Nobel prize winner and East Timor's champion Dr. José Ramos-Horta said during his UPD visit July 28 at the Asian Center. Ramos-Horta recounted how East Timor was not given the chance to exercise its independence from 500 years of Portuguese rule when it soon found itself under Indonesian control. It was a colony of the Portuguese until 1974. Influenced by the United States, Indonesia secured its borders due to fear the region would be under Communist control. By 1975, the Indonesian army overran the colony and declared it a part of Indonesia. Resistance to this control was met with high fatalities, with up to 200,000 deaths among the East Timorese and thousands on the side of the Indonesian soldiers, and as Ramos-Horta said, "No Timorese family has escaped violence." This year, East Timor will have the chance to gain autonomy. East Timorese will be allowed to vote on a referendum by August 21 or 28, on whether or not they will remain under Indonesian control.
