Letter Luisa Teotônio Perreira (CDPM) – President of the Republic of Portugal 1999-04-19

Letter by Luisa Teotônio, CDPM, to the President of Portugal expressing deep concerns about Indonesian strategy in this difficult phase of the conflict. Regarding international negotiations, the letter states that either the process is a way to gain time in the international arena, guaranteeing the economic support to Jakarta and the dispersal of the international community, or there is a part of the regime that has no control over the other part of the regime, and in this case, the uncontrolled part of the regime keeps devastating Timorese lives. Jakarta has not accomplished what it promised internationally and the international value of compromise has not been the same for all the parts involved in the conflict. There is a deep concern by CDPM that Indonesian short term strategy is to avoid the signature of the deal that will open up space for a UN presence at East Timor, and in the long term, Indonesia's goal is to reaffirm the integration of East Timor. The letter accuses Portugal and the international community of being responsible for the chosen strategy of underestimating the situation, and now the issue is becoming uncontrollable and both Portugal and the international community have the responsibility of upholding the Timorese right to self-determination. The presence of the UN is indispensable, but CDPM also requests a military force with an international mandate to support the Timorese struggle, and Portugal should financially support this, as well as propose sanctions to press for change in this critical phase.
