Your Excellency Mr. Kofi Annan General Secretary of United Nations New York
We- Timor Lorosae students that are under--The Timor Lorosae Students Joint Forum is a
newly set up body consist students from main land of Timor Lorosae and outside Timor
Lorosae, would like to respond to the on going situation where there are emerging
intimidation, torture and even killing carried out by the pro-Indonesian militias and
continues presence of Indonesian military in Timor Lorosae.
We would like to propose:
1. Creating Pre-Conditions There should be an immediate disarmament of the
paramilitaries and would be followed with Cease-fire between ABRI and Falintil. The number
of ABRI should also be reduced gradually from Timor Lorosae.
2. Creating International Human Right Commission under United Nation. The Commission
should conduct human rights monitoring and should report publicly on its findings; should
include a broad representatives of East Timorese groups, including people with expertise
and experience in human rights monitoring.
3. Welcoming United Nations monitoring Team or UN Observers as many as possible to
Timor Lorosae. They would back up the Timorese people as keyplayers.
4. A properly trained civilian police force which would take over normal law and order
functions and act according to international human rights standards.
5. Access to international students and women’s groups should be guaranteed.
We are looking forward to appreciating the United Nations immediate presence in Timor
Lorosae as soon as possible.
