	JURIST - East Timor: Timorese Law, Legal Research, Human Rights
		In a "popular consultation" of the East Timorese people organized by the UN Secretary-General in August 1999, the people rejected a special autonomy for East Timor within the unitary Republic of Indonesia and chose to begin a process of transition toward independence.
		Soon after, the Transitional Administrator, in consultation with East Timorese political leadership, established the National Consultative Council (NCC), a political body consisting of 11 East Timorese and four UNTAET members, to oversee the decision-making process during the transition period leading to independence.
		The Constituent Assembly and a new East Timorese Government were to govern East Timor during the remaining transitional period before its independence as a democratic and sovereign State.

	East Timor in Transition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In the case of East Timor, reliance upon the limited experiences of UNMIK, where the development of civil society was constrained by continuing threats to peace and security, appears to have delayed the necessary transition to political and economic development in preparation for independence.
		The transition period was to begin on 6 September 1991, with the referendum to be held in January 1992.
		As one UN official who was in Dili at the time now muses, if the intention had been to prevent East Timor’s independence this could have been achieved easily by the late night murder of a few UN Volunteers, or the selective torching of a couple of buildings used by expatriates.

		UN Under Secretary-General Sergio Vieira de Mello is scheduled to take up his duties as East Timor's first UN administrator by mid-November, and already has held talks on setting up the UN Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET).
		UN officials, mindful of regional politics, however were equally worried that Australia's dominant role in East Timor peacekeeping, in the long term, would upset nearby Asian states.
		UN administator Vieira de Mello has urged governments to provide nearly $200 million for humanitarian aid in East Timor and also to press for the return of hundreds of thousands of East Timorese who are living in camps in the Indonesian province of West Timor.

		The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), which operates with a substantially reduced mandate compared to the previous two operations, was a response to the crisis following the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, DC.
		The starting point of IPA's project on Transitional Administrations was the concern - raised, though only in passing, by the Report of the Panel on UN Peace Operations (the "Brahimi Report") - that the United Nations is becoming involved in state-building operations without any clear institutional guidelines or political consensus.

		The UN civilian police responsible for law enforcement have often been unable to prevent civil disturbances, and in some cases its members have committed violations themselves.

	Resentment mounts against UN administration in East Timor
		Four months after the Australian-led military occupation of East Timor, the United Nations is establishing a colonial-style administration in the former Indonesian territory.
		Continuing deprivation, combined with the obvious chasm between the lifestyle of UN personnel and that of the rest of the population, are fuelling growing social tensions.
		UNTAET's role over the past two months is simply a continuation of the UN's ongoing policy in East Timor, from the referendum in August—held with full knowledge that the Indonesian-backed militia would run amok—to its military intervention in September and the creation of UNTAET in December.

	Overview
		The indigenous people of East Timor were more supportive of the Australians than the West Timorese, a result of the different treatment they received from the Dutch and Portuguese.
		Our most recent military involvement in East Timor began in 1999 when the East Timorese people were given the opportunity to vote on whether or not they wanted their independence from Indonesia.
		"Our soldiers go to East Timor as part of a great Australian military tradition which has never sought to impose the will of this country on others but only to defend what is right," he said.
