The mandate outlined in the annex to the report is pragmatic and realistic. There is no doubt that East Timor will emerge as a strong, viable and prosperous nation with the assistance of the international community, and that it will stand ready to shoulder its responsibilities on its own after the departure of the successor mission.”

We note with satisfaction that training programmes for civilian police, as well as for the East Timor Defence Force, are being accelerated. My delegation also appreciates the fact that the rate of refugee returns has increased and that nearly 7,000 refugees returned to East Timor over the past period, bringing the total returns to 192,000.

We must therefore ensure the success of the new State by maintaining security and by building a sustainable administrative and economic base, as mentioned in paragraph 98 of the Secretary-General's report. It is extremely important that East Timor continue to benefit for some time to come, especially after its independence, from United Nations assistance in the form of civilian expertise in various fields of administration and other sectors. We are happy to learn that the presidential election is scheduled for 14 April. We hope that the maturity shown in the election last August will continue to prevail and that democracy will be given another positive push forward in East Timor.”

39. “If we are to consolidate our gains and realize the legitimate aspirations of the East Timorese to attaining statehood, we must ensure that the transition is seamless, smooth and obstacle-free. At this juncture, East Timor needs assistance at all levels in order to instil confidence in the people and to encourage them to forge ahead in shaping the destiny of their own country in accordance with their culture, tradition and political history. It is therefore essential that international assistance to East Timor revert to a normal development level as soon as feasible. The United Nations, with the help of UNTAET, has given birth to a nation. The international community should now continue nurturing it and prepare the small island nation to operate as a viable State.”

Like other members, Mauritius fully supports the recommendations of the Secretary-General on the renewal of UNTAET's mandate until 20 May 2002. In view of the success achieved so far, there is no scope or room for any mistake. It is the duty of the United Nations to ensure that everything is done to complete the process in time. Nothing should jeopardize this process.”

The United Nations justly deserves all the merit for conducting a successful operation in East Timor and to take credit for this historic success. The painful past is gone and the people of East Timor must derive immense satisfaction from the thought that their quest for self-determination was legitimate and unquestionable.”
