Statement by ANTI (Timor-Leste National Alliance
for an International Tribunal)
on the Day of the Popular Consultation, 30 of August 1999 – 2011
and also the International Day of the Disappeared
Resolving Past Crimes Against Humanity is Key to Opening the Door to
Truth and Justice now and in the future…
Today… we bow before all victims of serious crimes and crimes against
humanity. The brutality of the Indonesian military took away thousands of
human lives. In that time, assassinations by the Indonesian Military and
pro-Indonesian militia made Timorese human lives worthless. Immoral actions
eliminated the dignity of our mothers and sisters.
| |
Today we only give importance to
friendship, not to truth. How can we move forward if we are not willing to fill
the holes of the past? How can we progress together with new hope if we ignore
the heavy burden on our shoulders?
|
Until today, these scars have not healed because we live in an climate of
hypocrisy. We are hypocrites because we don't want to feel what the victims
feel today. We are hypocrites because we forget our innocent people who lost
their lives. We are hypocrites because we are not willing to look for those
who were forcibly disappeared. We are hypocrites because we give priority to
reconciliation, not to justice.
The 30th of August marks Popular Consultation Day for the Timorese People.
For the international community, 30 August is also ‘International Day of the
Disappeared’. The CAVR report estimates that 186,000 people were killed and
forcibly disappeared in the years before the 1999 referendum. Four thousand
children taken by the TNI (Indonesian Military) have not yet returned. Until
today, we cannot follow their trails. We do not yet know these families'
shadows ... we continue to hope that those who the Military and Militias
took will return to each of their families.
Today we only give importance to friendship, not to truth. How can we move
forward if we are not willing to fill the holes of the past? How can we
progress together with new hope if we ignore the heavy burden on our
shoulders? Because of these realities ANTI:
- Demands that the United Nations Security Council pass a resolution
to establish a credible International Tribunal in order to judge the
principal perpetrators of serious crimes and crimes against humanity in
Timor-Leste during the Indonesian occupation so that we can cut the
chain of impunity in Timor-Leste and other countries.
- Demands that the Prosecutor prosecutes the serious crimes cases that
were investigated by the Serious Crimes Investigation Team (SCIT) and
submits these cases to Court.
- Asks the Judges and the Prosecutor General to imprison the criminal
Valentim Lavio (ex-Militia BMP) who has already been sentenced to 9
years imprisonment but walks free today.
- Asks the President of the Republic and the State of Timor-Leste to
ratify the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons
from Enforced Disappearance in order to guarantee that there will be no
more disappeared persons in the future.
- Asks the State of Timor-Leste to demand that the State of Indonesia
give back those that the TNI forcibly took to Indonesia.
- Demands that all State Institutions valorise the day of Popular
Consultation, 30 August, as an important National day of commemoration
at the National and District levels, rather than as a National holiday.
- Demands that the National Parliament decide quickly on the Memory
Institute Law and the Reparations Law.
- Demands that the State Institutions of Timor-Leste respect the
principle of separation of powers and respect the competence of the
Judiciary to process serious crimes and crimes against humanity, in
accordance with Article 160 of the Timor-Leste Constitution.
Forgetting the Crimes of the Past … is the start of killing Justice today
and tomorrow.
