  • The Popular Consultation and the United Nations Mission in East Timor
    Out of the Ashes: Destruction and Reconstruction of East Timor Abstract for chapter 8 Author: Ian Martin ‘The popular consultation and the United Nations Mission in East Timor (UNAMET) – first reflections’ is a personal account by the Head of UNAMET of the process which allowed East Timor to hold a popular consultation to determine its future. The author begins with the Agreement of 5 May 1999 which provided that if the East Timorese rejected the proposed autonomy, there would be a peaceful and orderly transfer of authority to the UN, enabling East Timor to begin a process of transition to independence. This process started with the establishment and deployment of UNAMET which oversaw a total of 446 666 registered people voting. Prior to the ballot UNAMET attempted to get the opposing factions to ‘lay down their arms’, but the level of violence after the ballot was so great that UNAMET was forced to retreat, handing over responsibility to UNTAET. The death and destruction in East Timor after the ballot provoked various questions which the author responds to, arguing that violence would have been reduced if the popular consultation had taken place with an armed international presence mandated to guarantee security. Keywords autonomy, B. J. Habibie, ballot, CNRT, Dili, Falintil, General Wiranto, human rights violations, IDP, independence, INTERFET, intimidation, militia, MPR, popular consultation, Secretary-General, Security Council, TNI, UNAMET, United Nations, UNTAET Xanana Gusmão Published by ANU E Press, 2003 8 The popular consultation and the United Nations mission in East Timor – first reflections Ian Martin1 On 22 October 1999, Xanana Gusmão, the independence fighter who had assumed the leadership of a seemingly broken Falintil two decades before, who had been captured by the Indonesian army in 1992 and sentenced to life imprisonment, returned to East Timor.

This marked the beginning of a long association between the Foundation and the many individuals and institutions who have been responsible for India's development since Independence. To celebrate these four decades of association the Foundation commissioned Mr. Eugene S. Staples to write a brief history of the Foundation's work in India. We have given him a free hand to comment on and discuss our policies and programs, from his vantage as a former Representative of the Foundation in New Delhi from 1976 to 1981.
