La\u2019o Hamutuk also underscores the serious legal implications of kidnapping a sitting head of state. Even where criminal allegations exist, accountability must be pursued through lawful, transparent andinternationally legitimate procedures\u2014not through cross-border military coercion. Should Timor-Leste kidnap PresidentPrabowo Subianto from Jakarta, as he committed serious crimes here during the illegal Indonesian military occupationof our country?

The \u2018Monroe (or Donroe) Doctrine\u2019 has no legitimacy in today\u2019s world. Since the advent of the UN, the U.S. has intervened overtly and covertly in other countries numerous times. We do not forget that U.S. support for Indonesia enabled the invasion and occupation of Timor-Lestefrom 1975 to 1999, killing more than 200,000 of our people. The illegal occupation was belatedly ended through a UN-facilitated referendum and transitionaladministration, so Timor-Leste appreciates the value of international law and diplomacy. Decades later, the failure tohold perpetrators accountable remains a festering wound. An oil tanker intercepted by the U.S. was falsely \ufb02ying the \ufb02ag of Timor-Leste, although our Government never registered it. We urge all involved not to drag the name of our nation into their con\ufb02ict. Our peoplehave already su\ufb00ered too much from other nations\u2019 interests. La\u2019o Hamutuk calls for the U.S. to permanently stop intervening in others\u2019 sovereign territories. We also urge the international community to act together to block the U.S. from continuing its long-standing,aggressive interventionist foreign policy, but also to reject the use of force, consistently defend international law,demand credible UN action and end impunity for past crimes.

These actions were conducted without the consent of the Venezuelan state or of the United Nations We appreciate the 5 January statement of Timor-Leste\u2019s Government calling for \u201crestraint, a return to dialogue and diplomacy, and a peaceful resolution of the situation in accordance with international law andthe principles of the United Nations Charter.\u201d This is not a domestic law-enforcement matter. It is a profound challenge to the international legal order\u2014including the United Nations Charter\u2019s prohibition on the threat or use of force against the territorialintegrity or political independence of any state and the core principle of non-intervention. La\u2019o Hamutuk also underscores the serious legal implications of kidnapping a sitting head of state. Even where criminal allegations exist, accountability must be pursued through lawful, transparent andinternationally legitimate procedures\u2014not through cross-border military coercion. Should Timor-Leste kidnap PresidentPrabowo Subianto from Jakarta, as he committed serious crimes here during the illegal Indonesian military occupationof our country? This is another instance of U.S. foreign policy to use unilateral military force to advance its political and economicinterests. Repeated reference to Venezuelan oil by U.S. o\ufb03cials, including the president, in the last couple of dayssound like 18th-century colonialism. The \u2018Monroe (or Donroe) Doctrine\u2019 has no legitimacy in today\u2019s world. Since the advent of the UN, the U.S. has intervened overtly and covertly in other countries numerous times. We do not forget that U.S. support for Indonesia enabled the invasion and occupation of Timor-Lestefrom 1975 to 1999, killing more than 200,000 of our people. The illegal occupation was belatedly ended through a UN-facilitated referendum and transitionaladministration, so Timor-Leste appreciates the value of international law and diplomacy. Decades later, the failure tohold perpetrators accountable remains a festering wound. An oil tanker intercepted by the U.S. was falsely \ufb02ying the \ufb02ag of Timor-Leste, although our Government never registered it. We urge all involved not to drag the name of our nation into their con\ufb02ict. Our peoplehave already su\ufb00ered too much from other nations\u2019 interests. La\u2019o Hamutuk calls for the U.S. to permanently stop intervening in others\u2019 sovereign territories. We also urge the international community to act together to block the U.S. from continuing its long-standing,aggressive interventionist foreign policy, but also to reject the use of force, consistently defend international law,demand credible UN action and end impunity for past crimes.
