Press Release
COMMEMORATION OF INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ENFORCED DISAPPEARANCES
“Bring them home”
The People of Timor-Leste once again commemorate 30 August as the 14th
anniversary of the popular consultation (1999-2013). This historic day lead
to our independence from the long period of suffering that occurred because
of grave crimes committed systematically by the Indonesian military. Since
our independence, the people of Timor-Leste have lived in a democratic state
under the rule of law. But since entering this independence process, we have
started to develop without yet having credible justice for the perpetrators
of grave crimes against the Timorese people. Up to now, our leaders in
Timor-Leste have not yet had the strong political will to confront the issue
of justice for serious past crimes, which is the foundation of the
democratic state under the rule of law.
|
Up to now, with more than a decade gone, there is still impunity, and the
consequences are clearly showing. Reality shows that the Government of
Indonesia is protecting criminals from accountability for the crimes they
committed in Timor-Leste.
|
Importantly, 30 August is also the International Day of
Enforced Disappearances, families of the missing and those families who
still live in misery. Many families continue to mourn and demand for their
relatives who went missing during the conflict. In response to these
specific concerns, a large group has worked address this situation, starting
with the establishment of CAVR (Commission for Reception, Truth and
Reconciliation) and CTF (Bilateral Commission on Truth and Friendship),
nevertheless we all wait for the two Governments (Timor-Leste and Indonesia)
to commit to implementing the specific recommendations of these two
commissions.
For this reason, ANTI, together with the victims' families, organised a
public discussion on 28 August and invited the Foreign Affairs Minister, a
member of the National Parliament, the Country Representative of the
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and a civil society
representative to be speakers at this public discussion. Unfortunately, the
representatives from the Government and National Parliament didn’t manage to
attend.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation was to talk about progress
and the challenges in implementing the recommendations of the CTF,
particularly relating to enforced disappearances, and the representative
from National Parliament was speak about the policies of Parliament relation
to the issue of enforced disappearances; with civil society to talk about
their perspectives on the issue of disappearances.
ANTI, and especially the victims' families, were extremely disheartened that
the Government, represented through the Foreign Minister, and the members of
National Parliament, were not present at this public discussion, because the
victims and their families needed and very much wanted to hear about the
efforts of the Government and Parliament in relation to the implementation
of the CTF. But in the end, these important speakers did not take part in
this discussion.
However, at the same time, the Indonesian Ambassador did attend and
deliver some thoughts about the commitment of the State of Indonesia to
implementing the recommendations of the CTF.
For civil society, the real concern related to the agreement established
three years ago by the PDHJ (Timor-Leste Ombudsman for Human Rights and
Justice) with Komnas Ham Indonesia (Indonesian Commission on Human Rights),
and which has been extended for one year, but has still yet to produce any
results.
Yet up to now, with more than a decade gone, there is still impunity, and
the consequences are clearly showing. Reality shows that the Government of
Indonesia is protecting criminals from accountability for the crimes they
committed in Timor-Leste. Currently, there is a strong debate taking place
in Indonesia in relation to the general election for the President of
Indonesia next year, in 2014, with the names of criminals Wiranto and
Prabowo Subianto always mentioned as candidates for the election. ANTI is
concerned that their grave criminal acts will continue in other parts of the
Indonesian territory because impunity will continue to thrive.
Given the facts outlined above, ANTI delivers the following demands:
1. Demand that the two Governments (Timor-Leste and Indonesia) seriously
begin the process of establishing a Commission of Missing Persons in order
to deal with the issue of enforced disappearances during the illegal
Indonesian occupation, so as to reintegrate those people whom the Indonesian
military forcibly removed from their families.
2. Demand that the United Nations put on their agenda to discuss the report
of the UN Commission of Inquiry and the CTF, especially the recommendation
to establish an international tribunal to try the grave crimes in
Timor-Leste, as there is no domestic mechanism in Timor-Leste or Indonesia
which can provide justice to the people of Timor-Leste.
3. Demand to the International Community, particularly the nations which
were involved directly and indirectly in the occupation by the cruel Suharto
regime in Timor-Leste (USA, England, France, Australia, and others), to
provide a formal apology to the people of Timor-Leste and work to improve
the lives of the Timorese.
4. Ask that the State of Timor-Leste sign and ratify the International
Convention on the protection of all people from enforced disappearances and,
in this way, start processing cases of enforced disappearances and ensuring
that this issue is never repeated in the future in Timor-Leste, as a
democratic state under the rule of law.
5. Ask that the Government of Indonesia respect the principles of human
rights and open the path to justice for these grave crimes, particularly the
cases of enforced disappearances in Timor-Leste, and, in this way, begin to
strengthen bilateral relations between the States of Timor-Leste and
Indonesia going forward.
6. Ask to all the people of Timor-Leste to give their support so that we can
complete the forms relating to missing persons which the Victims'
Association has prepared and is currently circulating, so we can help the
process of searching for those people who went missing during the occupation
period.
7. Ask to the PDHJ and Komnas-HAM Indonesia to seriously work to carry out
the agreement which those two organisations have established, particularly
about missing persons, so that we can find those persons forcibly
disappeared by the Indonesian military.
