Print this page JOSE RAMOS-HORTA: Counting the cost of war By JOS RAMOS-HORTA: DILI, East Timor I OFTEN find myself counting how many of us are left in this world. One recent morning my two surviving brothers and I had coffee together. And I found myself counting again. We were seven brothers and five sisters, another large family in this tiny Catholic country. One brother died when he was a baby. Antonio, our oldest brother, died in 1992 of lack of medical care. Three other siblings were murdered in our country's long conflict with Indonesia. One, a younger sister, Maria Ortencia, died on Dec. 19, 1978, killed by a rocket fired from a OV-10 Bronco aircraft, which the United States had sold to Indonesia. She was buried on a majestic mountaintop and her grave was tended by the humble people of the area for 20 years. Early in September of last year, I went through the heart-wrenching process of unearthing the improvised grave of our sister, whom I last saw when she was 18. As her body was exhumed, I noticed that the back of her head and one side of her face had been blown off. She must have died instantly.

NOBEL PRIZE HAS ANTIOCH LINK By Irwin Abrams Dayton Daily News , Op-Ed, December 6, 1996. This year the Nobel Peace Prize has a local connection. Jose Ramos-Horta of East Timor, who with his countryman Bishop Carlos Felipe Ximenes Belo will be presented with the award at the ceremony in Oslo on December 10, received his Master of Arts degree from Antioch University in 1984. Moreover, Congressman Tony Hall has been one of the prominent nominators of Bishop Belo for the prize. For his M.A. thesis, Ramos-Horta says in the preface that he decided to write "on the tragedy of the people of East Timor, not only out of moral and patriotic duty, but because it constitutes one of the most glaring examples of human rights violations in modern times that the rest of the world knows little and cares less about." Ramos-Horta's tiny homeland is only the eastern half of a remote island at the very tip of the long strung out Indonesian archipelago, much closer to Australia than to Jakarta, Indonesia's capital. The world took little note when East Timor, a former Portuguese colony populated mainly by Catholics, after a brief period of independence was invaded in 1975 and then annexed by its giant Moslem neighbor. East Timorese continued resistance has met with years of brutal military oppression, in which almost a third were killed or died from starvation and disease. Occasionally stories of the murders, rapes and tortures would surface in the world's media, notably in 1991 when news photos and a film circulated of an appalling massacre of some 200 men, women and children shot in cold blood at a funeral procession. But then for most of the world East Timor receded again into obscurity.

Nobel winning "Ambassador of peace" to speak at MCC By Joshua Cooper An island nation is living under repression in the Asia-Pacific region. The people are actively resisting the oppression and an ambassador of peace is speaking truth to power around the world. In 1996, the movement for self-determination and peace in East Timor was cast on the global conscience when Jose Ramos-Horta and Bishop Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo were recognized as co-recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize. Jose Ramos-Horta, an East Timorese exile, has spent 22 years organizing peaceful solutions, defending human rights and denouncing the illegal invasion and occupation of East Timor. Ramos-Horta, a trained journalist and international law specialist, will speak at Maui Community College February 24 at 7:30 p.m. The lecture focusing on Strategies for a Nonviolent Campaign for Self-Determination is free to all interested in human rights. The genocide in East Timor is one of the tragedies of the 20th century. Since Indonesia invaded the former Portuguese colony in 1975, one-third of the population has died due to the harsh circumstances of colonialism. When Indonesia invaded, Ramos-Horta was minister for external relations in the first East Timorese government. He left three days before the invasion to address the conscience of humanity at the United Nations. He encouraged the family of nations to take action against the onslaught of Indonesia's military forces.

Ramos-Horta singled out racism in China, Malaysia and Indonesia during a speech Tuesday to the Foreign Correspondents' Club here following criticism in the region of race relations in Australia. "If you compare Australia with Malaysia, Indonesia or China, Australia is the most tolerant country in the region," the East Timorese activist said. "Several regimes in Asia are more color- sensitive than Australia. I get incensed when hypocrites from this region criticize Australia for racism. They should learn from Australia." Australia has come in for criticism recently after independent legislator Pauline Hanson called for limits to Asian immigration. But Ramos-Horta, while admitting he has had some problems in Australia in the past because of his color, said the country has "made enormous efforts over the years to become really multicultural."

World Tibet Network News Tuesday, April 22, 1997 6. Nobel peace prize winner attacks France on China rights stance BRUSSELS, April 22 (AFP) - Jose Ramos-Horta, the East Timorese Nobel peace prize winner, on Tuesday accused France of submitting to "economic gangsterism" by refusing to support UN criticism of Beijing's human rights record. Addressing the European Parliament's foreign affairs committee, Ramos-Horta said the failure of the UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva to adopt a resolution on China earlier this month "stands as an ominous omen for the fate of Hong Kong." China comfortably saw off a critical resolution proposed by Denmark after France had blocked a common European Union position in support of a condemnation. The move resulted in the collapse of the western coalition in favour of a resolution with three other EU states, Australia and Canada all changing sides in the debate in response to threats of economic reprisals from China. "If every country with democratic ideals were to surrender all its principles for economic short-term interest, to submit to economic gangsterism, it would

The Forum will present his lecture, titled "Human Rights: Democracy and the Rule of Law in the Asia Pacific Region," at 7:30 p.m. in Schofield Auditorium. The presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer session and a reception in the Dulany Inn, Davies Center. In 1975, Indonesia invaded and illegally annexed the newly independent country of East Timor, brutally slaughtering nearly a third of the population with weapons imported from the United States and Europe. Since then, Jose Ramos-Horta has tirelessly championed human rights and independence for his homeland and other repressed countries of the world. As the United Nations marks the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Nobel laureate will assess the advances that have been made and discuss the unprecedented events that are taking place today. Born in Dili, East Timor, in 1949, Ramos-Horta is the son of a native Timorese mother and a Portuguese father who was deported to East Timor for revolting against the dictator Antonio Salazar. After studying law in the United States, Ramos-Horta returned to East Timor, then still a colony of Portugal, and worked as a radio and TV correspondent. His involvement with the independence movement provoked East Timor's Portuguese rulers and he was forced to flee to Mozambique in 1970.

October 9, 2001 Contact: Linda Luckey, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, (785) 864-3516. Nobel Prize winner to speak at KU LAWRENCE Jose Ramos-Horta will speak on "Peacemaking: the Power of Nonviolence" at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11, at the University of Kansas in the Kansas Union ballroom. Ramos-Horta won the 1996 Nobel Prize for Peace for his work as a spokesman for human rights and self-determination. Until December 1999, he was in exile from East Timor for 25 years. The tiny island and former Portuguese colony of 600,000 people is located between the Indonesian island of Java and northwestern Australia. Between 1975, when Indonesia invaded East Timor, and 1981, a third of the population died. Four of Ramos-Horta's 11 brothers and sisters were among the dead. As an exiled citizen, Ramos-Horta served as an ambassador to the United Nations for the East Timorese cause. In 1996, Ramos-Horta and Bishop Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo received the Nobel Prize for Peace for "sustained efforts to hinder the oppression of a small people." The award brought international attention to Horta's efforts and to reports of widespread abuses conducted by the Indonesian authorities in their efforts to quell opposition to Jakarta's rule, the BBC reported. In 1999, in a historic referendum, the East Timorese unequivocally expressed their will for independence from Indonesia. In December 1999, Ramos-Horta returned to East Timor to help rebuild from the devastation.

EAST TIMOR NOBEL LAUREATE...... A CONNECTION.... Jose Ramos-Horta, the 1996 Nobel Peace Prize winner from East Timor, was a guest speaker at a conference held in San Francisco in June 1997, with the Dalai Lama. Ramos-Horta, who is Catholic, was among 100 writers, community organisers and political activists sharing the stage with the Dalai Lama at the event, titled "Peacemaking; The Power of Non-Violence". The conference was sponsored by Tibet House of New York, and co-sponsored by the Californian Institute of Integral Studies. In seven public appearances, addressing several thousand people, Jose Ramos-Horta talked in depth, and lovingly, about the Jewish people. Twice a day the Dalai Lama, with Ramos-Horta and Guatemalan activist Anita Menchu, the sister of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchu, regaled audiences with lessons on peacemaking, forgiveness and strategies for global rebuilding. For two decades, Ramos-Horta has led a campaign against the Indonesian government, which invaded his country in 1976. Three of his brothers and a sister have perished in the conflict.The activist said he has a very personal connection with Jewish culture. Citing Jewish roots that date back hundreds of years, he said members of his family were victims of the inquisition. "With a native Timorese mother and a Portuguese father, I can trace back my Jewish background to the period when Jews were forced to convert to Christianity.

International Affairs Jose Ramos-Horta East Timor has been colonized since the 1500s. In 1520, the Portuguese invaded the island putting the eastern half under their rule while the Dutch settled the western half. For over 250 years, the East Timorese were unable to exercise their self determination. On November 28, 1975, FRETILIN, the Revolutionary Front for an Independent East Timor, declared independence. While December 7 plays an important role in U.S. history, the East Timor also share this day as a tragedy in history. Indonesia invaded the newly declared nation with brute force and advanced weaponry. Since 1975, a campaign of genocide has been waged against the East Timorese. In these 22 years, over one-third of the population has been killed. Over 200,000 Timorese faced napalm bombings, summary executions, torture, rapes, massive starvation, arbitrary detention and murder as well as forced relocation through tactics such as the destruction of villages. One individual has been working with activist supporters in and outside East Timor. Jose Ramos-Horta, a journalist and international human rights advocate, was appointed minister for external relations in the first East Timorese government. His first challenging assignment was to inform the global community about the Indonesia invasion. Ramos-Horta left only a few days before the invasion. He spoke to the United Nations General Assembly and Security Council sparking both bodies to condemn the invasion. Since 1975, Ramos-Horta represented FRETILIN for the next decade raising awareness and encouraging the family of nations to be more involved in peacemaking efforts. His involvement in the development of political awareness in East Timor has been serving as the Special Representative of the National Council of Maubere Resistance (CNRM), an umbrella organization coordinating the resistance movements in the border and around the world.

54. Taiwanese Collegian: News jose ramoshorta received the 1996 nobel Peace Prize for work towardsa just and peaceful solution to the conflict in East Timor. http://tc.formosa.org/news/113098.html

The Taiwanese government denied the entry of Nobel Peace Laureate and East Timorese leader Dr. Jose Ramos-Horta for several hours on November 25th, 1998. While the government claims the incidence as the result of mistakes, Taiwanese Collegian finds such an excuse unbelieveable and therefore issues the following statement condemning the government's misguided foreign policy. Jose Ramos-Horta received the 1996 Nobel Peace Prize for work towards a just and peaceful solution to the conflict in East Timor. Statement by Taiwanese Collegian 30-NOV-1998 Taiwanese Collegian condemns in the strongest terms the Taiwanese government's blacklisting and consequent denial of entry into Taiwan of Nobel Peace Laureate and East Timorese leader Dr. Jose Ramos-Horta. In his second visit to the island, on 25 November, Ramos-Horta had expected to observe island-wide election campaigns in progress, and visit the incumbent Taipei City mayor Shui-Bien Chen, a former political prisoner. Whereas the ruling Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) had lifted bans on exiled Taiwanese dissidents in the early 1990's, Ramos-Horta's blacklisting highlights the fundamental flaws of an Asian-Pacific diplomatic strategy centered on economic and geopolitical considerations. The consequences of such a strategy are to reject basic human rights values and to mock the half-century of Taiwanese democratic struggles. To their credit, Taiwanese opposition politicians with democratic credentials were quick to fault the KMT for the fiasco, including demands for apology and resignations. At the same time Taiwanese Collegian would like to point out that given Taiwan's history of struggling for democracy and independence, and its relative economic well-being, the opposition can use the opportunity to set forth an alternative Asian-Pacific diplomatic vision siding with a genuine "Asian value" of the people, one opposed to the self-serving needs of Asian authoritarians. Only through a constructive engagement with human rights, ecological concerns, labor, and other issues important to the people of the region be it Tibet, East Timor, Burma, Indonesia, Malaysia, Eastern Turkestan, or Southern Mongolia can Taiwan hope to escape the geopolitical blackhole into which the fruits of Taiwanese democracy are rapidly disappearing.

UN Volunteers were among the first international UN personnel to return to East Timor in October 1999, after weeks of violent fighting between opponents and supporters of independence. In a UN-organized ballot held on 30 August 1999, a vast majority of East Timorese had voted for sovereignty. Since then, some 3,000 UN Volunteers from more than 100 countries have supported authorities in East Timor, also in conducting other electoral processes. They carried out a range of activities in all parts of the country with the UN agencies and as part of the UN Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET). UN Volunteers work in various sectors of relief and development, including forestry and fisheries, border control, district finances, gender affairs, human rights, refugee and returnee issues, forensics, civil engineering, water and sanitation, judicial and political affairs, research and census, health, trade, public information and taxation - and continue to do, in a post-independence context.
