Dear Mr. Kofi Annan,
re: AN URGENT CALL TO SECRETARY GENERAL AND SECURITY COUNCIL
OF THE UNITED NATIONS
The Asian Human Rights Commission call upon the Secretary General of the
United Nations and the Security Council to ACT NOW, without delay to save
the lives of the people of East Timor. TO ACT NOW means sending peace
keeping troops. Nothing else or nothing less would suffice. That a carnage
is taking place has been accepted by all. That sections of Indonesian
military are conniving withthe militia elements is clear without dispute.
Thus delay means loss of more lives. To make international intervention
conditional upon Indonesian willingness make no sense. The failure to act
now is unforgivable.
Be assured of our utmost support for immediate action.
