"The tragic events in East Timor have shown the cowardice and opportunism of the international community. We need the courage, following the clear results of the referendum, to immediately implement the principle of peoples’ self-determination by recognising the independence of East Timor, without waiting for problematic concessions by the Indonesian Government. I extend this invitation especially to the governments of the fifteen Member States of the European Union.
Above all, this would mean that the intervention of an international peacekeeping force could be considered not as interference with Indonesia’s sovereignty, but as assistance offered by the international community to an independent and sovereign state."@en1
