Since fleeing the former Portuguese colony just three days before Indonesian troops invaded, he has lived a life in exile lobbying foreign governments and the UN on the East Timorese cause. Mr Horta has led international protests over East Timor's plight Years of pressing the world to care about the plight of East Timor have turned his life into what he describes as an "emotional rollercoaster". Branded a criminal and a traitor by the Indonesian Government, in 1996 he was jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize alongside Bishop Carlos Belo, the leader of East Timor's majority Catholic population. At the time the Nobel committee said it hoped its decision would spur efforts to solve East Timor's problems "based on the people's right to self-determination".

At breakfast, the small group of students listened intently while Ramos-Horta spoke about his twenty-four years in exile. At nine in the morning his words captured the full attention of the small group of tired college students. Bagels and cups of coffee lay untouched. Without a hint of self-pity he described the daunting obstacles that had faced him in his efforts to struggle for an independent East Timor. From indifferent bureaucrats who avoided him in the corridors of the United Nations to the hostility of Indonesian security agents, a host of adversaries confronted him in New York. Moreover, he faced the opposition of the most formidable of adversaries: the American government. During his twenty years of lobbying for East Timor in the United States, Indonesian security agents attempted to silence him through intimidation and bribes. He withstood the economic and psychological pressures to submit to their demands, even during the darkest times of East Timor's struggle for independence. His unwavering resistance to their temptations reveals the depth of his selflessness. Even when his cause seemed destined to failure, he resisted the promise of an easy life.

66. 1996 Nobel Peace Prize - An Essay By Irwin Abrams A profile of the 1996 Nobel Peace Prize winners by Irwin Abrams. http://www.irwinabrams.com/books/excerpts/annual96.html

THE 1996 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR CARLOS FILIPE XIMINES BELO By Irwin Abrams Published in THE NOBEL PRIZE ANNUAL for 1996 (1997: IMG, 22 East 71st St., New York, NY 10021). The 1996 prize was one of the most highly political of all the peace prizes. Through this award the Norwegian Nobel Committee wanted to bring the attention of the world to a "forgotten conflict." In announcing the choice of Bishop Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo and José Ramos-Horta of East Timor, Committee Chairman Francis Sejersted declared, "By awarding this prize, we hope to contribute to a diplomatic solution to the conflict in East Timor." Bishop Belo was characterized as "the foremost representative of the people of East Timor," Ramos-Horta as the leading international spokesman for their cause. Few had even heard of East Timor, the eastern half of a remote island at the very tip of the long strung-out Indonesian archipelago, much closer to Australia than to Indonesia's capital of Jakarta. Nor did the world take much note when in 1975 this former Portuguese colony, populated mostly by Catholics, was invaded and then annexed by its giant Moslem neighbor. The media was far more occupied in those days with news from Vietnam, where just a few months earlier Saigon had fallen to the Vietkong, But, as Chairman Sejersted pointed out in his speech at the award ceremony, "Of a population of between six and seven hundred thousand, nearly two hundred thousand have died as the direct or indirect result of the Indonesian occupation. And the violations [of human rights] are still taking place." Sejersted called this "an exceptionally brutal form of neocolonialism" and said that "considerations of Realpolitik" enabled it to take place.

Nobel Laureate José Ramos-Horta Joins Board of Internews "The work Internews is doing in supporting free and independent media is very important in building democracy in East Timor and around the world," Ramos-Horta said. Ramos-Horta, the tireless advocate for a free and independent East Timor, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1996 along with fellow countryman, Bishop Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo. East Timor achieved independence from Indonesia last year and in October Ramos-Horta was named the emerging nation's first foreign minister. "José Ramos-Horta has long been a champion of democracy and human rights, and we are honored that he has agreed to serve on our board," said Internews President David Hoffman. "East Timor is not only the world's newest nation, but it is also the site of Internews' latest project supporting open media," he said. Ramos-Horta officially became a member of the board at the Internews Board of Directors meeting in Washington, DC on November 13, 2000. Internews is an international non-profit organization that supports open media worldwide. The organization fosters independent media in emerging democracies, produces innovative television and programming and Internet content, and uses the media to mediate conflict within and between countries.

East Timor Nobel Peace Laureate, 1996 (photo by Michael Collopy) October 10, 2001 As human beings we must always pause and ask ourselves if the use of force to deter violence or to halt the perpetrators of terrorism and genocide is the only option available. Again I have reflected on the decision by the US and its allies to use force against the Taliban regime and Osama Bin Laden terror network. In confronting this painful and agonizing question, my conscience tells me that the use of force was inevitable and necessary. In 1999, the East Timorese people were brutalized, murdered, and the country thoroughly destroyed. We appealed to the US, Australia, Portugal and the UN to send in forces to save our people. More than 30 countries responded and an international force finally landed in our country. They saved our people. As human beings we must always pause, reflect and resist the temptation to use force and the practice of an eye for an eye. However, there are times, when the use of force is legitimate and necessary. In the face of evil, invocation of false pacifism leads to inaction and betrayal of the victims of oppression. For this reason, as I stand here today, I endorse the use of force against the Taliban regime that oppresses its own people, has taken Afghanistan back to the Dark Ages, and is harboring an international terrorist network.

His lecture was titled "Human Rights: Democracy and the Rule of Law in the Asia Pacific Region." An informal discussion with the 1996 Nobel peace prize winner followed the talk. Ramos-Horta spoke about Indonesia and East Timor, obviously, giving the audience some historical background and personal reflections. During both appearances, he lavished much praise on Xanana Gusmão. Ramos-Horta focused part of his talk on other human rights hot-spots in the Asia Pacific Region and elsewhere. He also used his platform to comment on the current situation in Iraq, delivering a much-needed reminder that the US supported Saddam Hussein in his war against Iran. The event drew a decent sized crowd of some variety, ranging from local human rights activists to a man wondering

An election where if you're to have any chance of winning, you've got to have the blessing of the church. An election where voters are scared to go to the ballot box because the last time they did, they saw their houses go up in flames and blood flow in the streets. I'm Gerald Tooth, and this week on Radio National's Background Briefing, we go on a campaign trail like no other, with Jose Ramos Horta in East Timor, as his country literally invents its own institutions. This election, on August 30, is not for a seat in parliament, that doesn't exist yet, but an election where the winners take a place at the table where the blueprint for the newly-freed nation will be drawn up.

A family tradition. His grand-father too had suffered exile, from Portugal to Azores, then Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau and finally East Timor. A moderating influence in the emerging Timorese nationalism, he was mandated in 1974-75 by the pro-independence parties to represent East Timor abroad. He left the island three days before the Indonesian troops invaded. His dedication to the defense of human rights has led him to set up in 1989 the Diplomacy Training Programme (DTP) in the Law Faculty of the University of New South Wales, the purpose of which is to train indigenous peoples, minorities and human rights activists from the Asia Pacific region in the UN Human Rights system. The DTP operates out of Sydney but also conducts training across Asia.

1996 Nobel Peace Laureate Nobel website Discussion Questions and Answers RealVIdeo of Mr. Horta's Speech East Timor was first settled by Portuguese traders in 1520, while the western half of the island was settled in 1619 by the Dutch; an 1859 treaty established the current borders. West Timor, administered as part of the Dutch East Indies, became part of Indonesia in 1946, while East Timor, with a different language, religion, and customs from its island neighbor, remained part of the Portuguese colonial empire. Unlike Indonesia, which is the most populous Muslim nation in the world with more than 190 mi llion people, East Timor is populated primarily by Roman Catholics. Two days after a December 5, 1975, state visit in Jakarta with President Suharto in which President Ford and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger pledged U.S. support and military aid, Indonesia invaded East Timor. The Indonesian government formally anne xed East Timor in July 1976 as the 27 th Indonesian province. In his award presentation speech, Francis Sejersted, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, noted that since the invasion, Ramos-Horta has lived abroad, "unceasingly and with great personal sacrifice collecting and communicating information on the repression, torture, and killing in his home country, and acting as East Timor’s principal international spokesman. At the same time, he has successfully kept up his efforts to unite the various East Timorese groups in a single national front, w hile constantly seeking opportunities for a peaceful solution to the conflict with Indonesia, based on respect for the integrity of the East Timorese people."

The dissenting voice came from Jose Ramos Horta, the East Timorese spokesman, who singled out Malaysia for special criticism. His blunt remarks brought a response from Malaysia's permanent representative to the United Nations in the oblique language beloved by diplomats in Southeast Asia to affect politeness while leaving no doubt about the message. Hasmy Agam said Malaysia took pride in the fact that its troops had carried out their duties professionally and in a fair and impartial manner in all 22 UN peacekeeping operations in which it had been involved. "I feel compelled to make this point because doubts have been raised from a particular quarter about the appropriateness of Malaysia playing a peacekeeping role in a neighbouring territory," he said.

76. José Ramos-Horta/Ogden Lecture José ramoshorta took the United States to task for what he considers its hypocritical stand regarding the invasion of his native East Timor. http://www.brown.edu/Administration/George_Street_Journal/horta.html

Nobel laureate offers insight into struggle in East Timor "I must say, with due respect and humility, that from 1975 onward, the United States was an accomplice" to Indonesia's "crime of genocide" By Tracie Sweeney J "I must say, with due respect and humility, that from 1975 onward, the United States was an accomplice" to Indonesia's "crime of genocide" by providing to the Indonesian government weapons and military training, Ramos-Horta said, even while asserting in the United Nations that East Timor had a right to self-determination. Ramos-Horta made his assertions to the Salomon Center audience who came to hear his Ogden Memorial Lecture May 25. It was such willingness to speak out that brought Ramos-Horta to the attention of the committee that selects recipients for the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1996, Ramos-Horta and East Timorese Bishop Carlos Felipe Ximenes Belo received the award for "their sustained and self-sacrificing contributions for a small but oppressed people" in East Timor, a country that was invaded by Indonesia in 1975. Since then, at least 200,000 East Timorese have been executed or starved to death due to the Indonesian occupation. B ut Ramos-Horta's lecture offered more than just criticism. Saying that he was just "a man of great energy but modest intelligence," he offered praise for "the

Home About Us News Programs ... Login Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbaum Memorial Lecturer, 2000 Since Indonesia's invasion of East Timor 25 years ago, Nobel laureate José Ramos-Horta has been the leading international spokesman for East Timor's bid for independence. Favoring the creation of a "strong democratic state," Ramos-Horta said, "East Timor is at the crossroads of three major cultures (Melanesian, Malay-Polynesian and Latin Catholic). This rich historical and cultural existence places us in a unique position to build bridges of dialogue and cooperation between the people of the region." Ramos-Horta was born in Dili, East Timor's capital, and educated in a Catholic mission in the village of Soibada. He studied Public International Law at The Hague Academy of International Law, attended the International Institute of Human Rights in Strasbourg, and completed a Masters in peace Studies at Antioch university in 1984. He is a Fellow of International Relations, St. Anthony's College, Oxford. A radio and television journalist from 1969 until 1974, Ramos-Horta was appointed Minister of External Affairs and Information in the first Transitional Government of the Democratic Republic of East Timor. He was selected to represent East Timor overseas, and left three days before Indonesian troops invaded in November 1975. The conflict has taken a personal toll on Ramos-Horta: Four of his eleven brothers were killed by the Indonesian military and Ramos-Horta himself was exiled to Mozambique by the Portuguese for his pro-independence activities. Ramos-Horta promoted talks with Indonesia, however, believing that a committed effort from all sides would be needed to succeed in bringing peace to East Timor.
