Action ALERT
East Timor and Indonesia Action Network
Tetum follows after English. This is a request for
citizens of Timor-Leste to write to the UN Security Council about
impunity and justice.
They will discuss Timor-Leste on 23 October.
For years, these diplomats have heard from Timorese leaders, including Jose Ramos-Horta, Xanana Gusmao and Zacarias da Costa, that the Timorese people are not interested in justice for past crimes and have other priorities for the country. As the recent liberation of Maternus Bere shows, the governments of Indonesia and Timor-Leste think that ending impunity is not as important as developing friendly relations with people and institutions who committed crimes against the people of Timor-Leste.
If, as a Timorese citizen, you don't agree with this, the UN Security Council needs to hear from you, so that they have a better understanding of Timorese views. The Security Council has the power to create an International Tribunal, but they will never do it if they believe that Timor-Leste doesn't want it. For years, the UN has promised justice and accountability for human rights crimes committed during the Indonesian occupation, but they done little except repeat their principle that 'impunity must not prevail anywhere.'
If Jose Ramos-Horta and Xanana Gusmao do not represent your views on the issue of impunity, this is your chance to communicate your desire for justice directly to the leaders of the international community. Tell them who you are, what you think, what you want the Council to do, and why. Don't worry about format or protocol; write according to your capacity.
Letters can be from individuals or organizations, in Tetum or English, handwritten, typed or emailed. If the letter is from an organization, please put it on letterhead. The East Timor and Indonesia Action Network (ETAN) and the International Federation for East Timor (IFET) will copy your letter and deliver it to each Security Council member in New York. Please email it to etan@etan.org in MS Word or Adobe PDF format, or bring your letter on paper to La'o Hamutuk's office in Farol, Dili.
Please send your letter as soon as it is ready, but no later than 19 October. Be sure to include your name and location.
