Australian Peacekeepers were sent to East Timor in 1999 to restore peace and security following a violent crisis triggered by Indonesia's withdrawal from the territory and the subsequent Declaration of Independence. The situation escalated into widespread violence and humanitarian crises, prompting the international community to seek intervention. Under the auspices of the United Nations, Australia led the International Force for East Timor (INTERFET) to stabilize the region and protect civilians. Their mission aimed to support the establishment of a new independent nation and ensure a safe environment for humanitarian aid.
