I propose to take Questions Nos. 205 and 206 together.
With regard to the situation in East Timor I refer the Deputy to the reply which I gave to Priority Questions on the subject today.
With regard to the specific role and involvement of the UN, under the terms of the agreement of 5 May between Indonesia, Portugal and the UN, which provided the basis for the popular consultation in East Timor to be organised and to actually take place on 30 August, responsibility for providing security in East Timor lay fully with the Indonesian Government. Indonesia would not accept the presence of an international armed peacekeeping force as part of this process, and insistence by the international community on this point would have meant that the process would not have taken place. The Indonesian Government must now explain its failure to fulfill this responsibility.
