The United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET) provided an interim civil administration and a peacekeeping mission in the territory of East Timor, from its establishment on 25 October 1999, until its independence on 20 May 2002 as the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, following the outcome of the East Timor Special Autonomy Referendum.
The united nations attention was drawn in 1976 and was due to the Indonesian invasion and it was for the Indonesian government to withdraw
The United Nations officially assumed control of East Timor in October 1999 after a violent crisis following a referendum in August that year, in which the East Timorese voted overwhelmingly for independence from Indonesia. The UN established the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET) to oversee the territory's administration, reconstruction, and the establishment of a democratic governance system. This marked a significant step towards East Timor's eventual independence, which was formally achieved in May 2002.
Australian troops were deployed to East Timor in 1999 as part of a United Nations-led international force, known as INTERFET (International Force for East Timor), to restore peace and security following the violence that erupted after East Timor's vote for independence from Indonesia. The deployment began on September 20, 1999.
The East Timor War primarily involved East Timor and Indonesia. Following East Timor's declaration of independence from Portugal in 1975, Indonesia invaded and occupied the territory, leading to a violent conflict that lasted until 1999. The United Nations and various countries, including Australia and Portugal, played roles in advocating for East Timor's independence and providing humanitarian assistance during the crisis. Ultimately, East Timor achieved independence in 2002 after a UN-supervised referendum.
Traditionally, Australia supports Western democracies. It also works on its own interests, particularly in the case of East Timor.
