1. “We wish to pay a tribute to the members of the International Force, East T imor, the personnel of the humanitarian organizations and the personnel of the United Nations, in particular Mr. Sergio Vieira de Mello, Special Representative of the Secretary-General, for their courage and perseverance in working in such a difficult environment and context. In conclusion, we trust that the administration of East Timor will plan to establish friendly and normal relations with all its neighbours, in particular with Indonesia.”

2. “In this connection, we encourage all refugees and displaced persons to return to their towns and villages so that they can participate in the building of new institutions and in the reconstruction of their future country. Regarding the militias that continue to intimidate and disseminate misinformation, we ask them to accept the new circumstances. We wish to remind them that continuous flagrant violations of human rights and international humanitarian law will not go unpunished. Furthermore, we are confident that the cooperation of all will be helpful to shed light on the cases of grave violations of human rights that took place immediately after the popular consultation.”

3. “Supported by the International Force, East Timor (INTERFET), we are confident that the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET) will be able to fulfil its task successfully. However, it should be noted that the financial and material support of the international community, including that of the international financial institutions, remains necessary if the UNTAET mandate is to be successful. In this regard, we welcome the pledges recently made in Tokyo. Now, when East Timor is ready to stand independently, there are many challenges to overcome, particularly those related to reconstruction and development. However, working together, the Timorese people will be able to achieve their objectives.”

4. “Mr. Ehoumy (Gabon) (spoke in French): My delegation also wishes to thank the presidency for having convened this briefing and Mr. Annabi for the very useful information he has provided us. On 30 August 1999, in the popular consultation held throughout the territory, the East Timorese people spoke out in favour of a transition to independence. Last November the People's Consultative Assembly of Indonesia ratified the result of that referendum. Today, as a result of this positive evolution, and also as a result of our actions, including Security Council resolution 1272 (1999) of 25 October 1999, East Timor has a Transitional Administration entrusted with a complex and well-defined mandate to move the country towards self-government.”
