"Mr President, I welcome this report but I feel it is a little up-beat. The situation has improved and we must encourage President Wahid, but there are still horrendous problems. The government is weak and constantly under attack, the military resists civilian control, the economy is fragile and, above all else, human rights are poor. That is why we must link development aid to progress in human rights abuses.
We must make sure, also, that the murderers of the
journalist, Sander Thoenes, are brought to justice; and the murderers of the three humanitarian aid workers and one torture victim killed only last week by Indonesian security forces in Aceh are brought to justice, also the perpetrators of past crimes. That should include a new trial for President Suharto.
I am pleased that the UN issued indictments today because of crimes against humanity in East Timor, and Indonesia should be aware, with or without cooperation, that those trials will go ahead."@en1
