  1. “Austria, which has actively supported the United Nations efforts regarding East Timor for quite some time, hopes that Indonesia will accept the help on offer. A refusal to do so would have serious consequences with respect to its relations with those who have so far shown understanding for the challenges and problems facing Indonesia.”

  2. “As of now, the Indonesian authorities have failed to live up to their obligations. We call on the Government of Indonesia to accept the offer, conveyed to it by the mission of the Security Council, of an international armed assistance to restore peace and security in East Timor in order to allow the peaceful and swift implementation of the result of the ballot of 30 August. The will of the people of East Timor must be respected. The major humanitarian crisis which has been triggered by the campaign of terror in East Timor can be addressed effectively only if the necessary security conditions are restored. We call for full access of humanitarian assistance to those in need, including in West Timor.”

  3. “In what is happening in East Timor right now, we see uncanny parallels to the killings, attacks on and forced relocations of civilians, the destruction of homes and property, and the total lack of respect for international humanitarian law and human rights in the conflicts we have witnessed in recent years and months in the former Yugoslavia and in Kosovo. The international community and the United Nations must not accept the human rights of an entire population being blatantly ignored. Human rights are universal, in East Timor as in Kosovo. Austria has appealed to the Government of Indonesia to fulfil its commitment and responsibilities under the Agreement of 5 May 1999 and to guarantee the security of the people of East Timor and the United Nations Mission in East Timor (UNAMET).”

  4. “I should like to begin by associating my delegation fully with the statement made by the Ambassador of Finland on behalf of the European Union. Austria is deeply shocked and horrified at the events in East Timor which followed the expression of the democratic will of the people on 30 August 1999. We are outraged at the systematic and calculated campaign of intimidation and violence which, as the Secretary-General has pointed out, might have resulted in the commission of crimes against humanity. We strongly support the notion that those responsible for these crimes must be held accountable.”
