ALIANSI NASIONAL TIMOR LESTE BA TRIBUNAL INETRNASIONAL

TIMOR-LESTE NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR AN INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL
Office of Timor-Leste NGO Forum (FONGTIL), Caicoli, Dili, Timor-Leste

Alliance Continues to Struggle for Justice
 
The Timor-Leste National Alliance for an International Tribunal (ANTI) is an advocacy network which includes student groups, families of victims, non-governmental organizations, and individual who interest in justice.

This network was formed in July 2002, to campaign for and demand justice for the victims and for all the people of Timor-Leste.

Crimes committed by Indonesian security forces and their militias in Timor-Leste in 1999 were crimes against humanity, therefore all the perpetrators of these crimes should be brought before a fair and credible court. This conclusion is already embodied in article 161 of the RDTL Constitution as well as in international law.

Therefore, the Alliance for International Tribunal struggles against all international, regional and national actions which obstruct justice. As we struggle for justice, the Alliance has faced many obstacles including the absence of political will for justice among many people in authority. They prefer to promote good relations through friendship and reconciliation, reaching out to people with blood on their hands who have yet to face justice.

Based on this reason ANTI held three days of Strategic Planning on 20-22 March 2007, resulting in this joint declaration that ANTI will continue to:
“Struggle for an International Tribunal with the objective to provide justice which is fair for all the people of Timor-Leste, especially for the victims, and to reject totally all attitudes and policies which promote impunity in Timor-Leste and anywhere in the world.”

The Alliance for International Tribunal demands:

International Community:
  • The UN must not wash its hands of the problem of crimes against humanity 1999 in Timor-Leste, because UN accepted responsibility to facilitate the popular consultation here and gave security responsibility to the Indonesian government.
  • The UN Security Council should immediately follow up the recommendations from UN Commission of Experts.
  • The permanent and non-permanent members of the UN Security Council should support justice rather than legitimize the criminals and promote impunity in the world.
  • We ask the United States, Australia, England, Indonesia, which supported Indonesia’s invasion of Timor-Leste, to face the court and make reparation to the victims.
  • We ask for support from community and regional and international solidarity organizations.
The State of Timor-Leste
  • The National Parliament should enact a resolution to implement the final report of CAVR, following the normal process to enact legislation in Timor-Leste.
  • We ask the National Parliament and the President of the Republic to review the context of draft Amnesty/Clemency which is currently being debated in the plenary of Parliament, and not to pass or promulgate it. This law itself will promote impunity and ignore justice which the people of Timor-Leste demand.
  • The state needs to define policies which can support the victims of 1999, rather than worry about their own well-being as in the pension laws for ex-Parliamentarians and ex-office-holders.
Public
  • We ask to the public to support ANTI in the struggle for fair justice for all the people of Timor-Leste. Based on ANTI’s observation, crimes continue to be committed in Timor-Leste, because the state lacks the political will to establish justice. For example, the main perpetrators of crimes against humanity in 1999 remain unpunished and there is no adequate mechanism to address them. Injustice continues because there is no process to bring those who committed them to justice.
  • We ask to the public to urge all the presidential candidates who are now campaigning to prioritize justice the most important factor in moving our country forward.
  • We ask this not only of candidates for president, but also for the national parliament election.
  • To all our victims, we must not be tired or give up the fight for our rights and for fair justice for everyone.
