Timorese Foreign Minister Adallisa Magno said Monday at a conference on preventing sexual violence in conflict in London that the government remains committed to supporting the victims of crime during the Indonesian occupation.
“The people of East Timor suffered human rights violations and serious crimes, including sexual violence” between 1975 and 1999, he said, recalling that the UN had set up a “serious crimes unit to hold perpetrators accountable for their crimes before international justice.” “.
After regaining independence in 2002, the minister explained, the country “took an important political step to ensure peace, build and reconstruct the country, promote the process of reconciliation with Indonesia to ensure a smooth transition to the status of an independent state.”
