  1. “As others have said at today's meeting, East Timor provides one of the best examples of the possibility of putting together an integrated strategic partnership to resolve a conflict in keeping with the maintenance of international peace and security and, beyond that, to make possible the orderly birth of a new nation which, we hope, will become a proud, full- fledged Member of the United Nations. The presence of the United Nations as a prominent actor in the political process that will culminate in the emergence of the new State has been facilitated by the experience and technical capacity of the multilateral system as a whole.”

  2. “Progress is needed on resolving pending issues such as border delimitation including maritime boundaries, fighting cross-border crime and establishing a framework of political, economic and educational cooperation that would bolster friendship between the two nations. In that context, Mexico hails the establishment of an Ad Hoc Human Rights Court in Indonesia to deal with violations that took place in East Timor in 1999. The political will of the President of Indonesia was reflected in her appointment of 18 judges, who will join the 12 recommended by the Indonesian Supreme Court. We hope that the work of the Human Rights Court will progress with the speed warranted by the situation.”

  3. “Mexico believes that, in addition to taking account of the views of the East Timor authorities, countries that contribute troops to UNTAET should also be consulted during the reconfiguration period before and after independence. To ensure the success of our exit strategy, their opinions must be taken into account with respect both to the drawdown of troops and to the situation on the ground. We hope that those countries will contribute their experience to the training of the East Timor Police Service, with a view to ensuring a more secure environment. Mexico believes, too, in the need for ongoing, close dialogue between the new East Timor authorities and Indonesia.”

  4. “We believe that the presence of the United Nations following the independence of East Timor should continue to preserve the three key elements set forth in the Secretary-General's priorities: a military component, a civilian police component and, of course, a civilian component of support for the transition to the new governmental administration. All of this should be done within a time period that will not jeopardize the stability and progress that have been achieved. We reiterate our support for basing the successor mission on the principle that operational responsibilities should be devolved to the East Timorese authorities as soon as is feasible through an ongoing process of mission assessment and downsizing over a period of two years starting from independence.”

  5. “This international support, we believe, should continue under the leadership of the United Nations. The prosperity of the new State will, in great measure, depend on the efficiency, determination and honesty with which justice is administered and with which violence and crime in East Timor are suppressed and punished. We support the recommendations of the Secretary-General contained in his report (S/2002/80), both with respect to the extension of UNTAET's mandate and to its reconfiguration. We await with great interest the detailed proposals of Secretary-General Kofi Annan for UNTAET's successor mission.”

  6. “Therefore, we believe that the role of the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET) is fundamental for maintaining the stability of the process and avoiding the emergence of troubles onto the political scene. Mexico welcomes the progress made by UNTAET to lay the political foundations of a new State. We commend that body's contribution to national reconciliation, the assistance afforded for the creation of operational machinery to bring about a new administration. The rule of law, the administration of justice, respect for human rights, border security, the advancement of the national reconciliation process and the return of refugees in conditions of security and dignity f those are all matters of special importance that will require international support and priority attention from the new Government.”

  7. “We join all those who, at this table and beyond it, have expressed their views in support of maintaining international cooperation to consolidate the peace process that will lead to the emergence of a new independent State, consistent with the will expressed by the people of East Timor. The international community and this Council should be very proud and pleased when East Timor joins the international family as an independent nation next May. However, we believe that the months prior to the official declaration of independence remain critical for guaranteeing the stability and security of this new State, particularly in the holding of presidential elections next April.”

  8. “Mr. Aguilar Zinser (Mexico) (spoke in Spanish): I also join in the expressions of appreciation extended to Mr. Sergio Vieira de Mello, particularly for the excellent briefing and report he has given us on East Timor's process of independence and on the participation and presence of the United Nations in that country after 20 May 2002. I also wish to acknowledge and welcome the presence of Mr. Jose Ramos-Horta, Senior Minister for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of East Timor. My country also appreciates the participation of the Honourable John Howard, Prime Minister of Australia, in this discussion, and we welcome the presence of Ms. Liz O'Donnell, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs of Ireland.”
