5636.txt STEWART ELDON (United Kingdom) said that the Council was again faced with a situation where militia violence in East Timor had raised its "ugly head", where UNTAET personnel had been subject to fatal attack and where the UNHCR had been forced to suspend its activities in West Timorese refugee camps. It would entail continuing existing programmes for repatriation to East Timor or resettlement in Indonesian territory; closing the refugee camps closest to the border; and relocating to temporary transit camps those refugees choosing to remain in Indonesia prior to their permanent resettlement in West Timor or other parts of Indonesia. Condemning the killing of two UNTAET Blue Helmets and the recent death of a Bangladeshi soldier, he said conditions were in place to enable East Timor to pursue genuine national reconciliation. www.who.int /disasters/repo/5636.txt   (6012 words)

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. Meanwhile the thousands of personnel—UN, aid, media, diplomatic—who have been flown in to “save” the East Timorese and participate in the UN Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET) are enjoying the best the UN can offer. 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. www.wsws.org /articles/2000/jan2000/etim-j21.shtml   (1570 words)
