history
In September 1999, international INTERFET troops under Australian leadership landed in East Timor, which had been occupied by Indonesia up until then, and took control. With the resolution of the World Security Council 1272 the UN interim administration UNTAET was empowered on October 25th to organize the reconstruction of the country from February 14th 2000 and to replace the military mission INTERFET. On November 17, 1999, Sérgio Vieira de Mello took over as the new UN special envoy in Dili, his role as interim administrator of East Timor.
In December 1999 the 15-strong National Consultative Council (NCC) was created to represent the people of East Timor in the administration. On February 23, 2000, the military command passed from INTERFET to UNTAET. On July 12, 2000, the NCC set up the Cabinet of the First Interim Government of East Timor. Even if the selection of the East Timorese members was de jure Mello, he left them to Xanana Gusmão , the president of the Conselho Nacional de Resistência Timorense (CNRT), the umbrella organization of the East Timorese independence movement.
On June 21, 2000, UNTAET and the CNRT agreed to reorganize the NCC into a 33-member National Council (NC) , which will meet from October 2000 . The members of the NC, like the previous members of the NCC, were appointed by Administrator Mello. On October 23, Xanana Gusmão was elected spokesman for the NC. The National University of East Timor (UNTL) reopened on November 15th. When Xanana Gusmão resigned on March 29, 2001, José Ramos-Horta moved from the office of Foreign Minister to the NC. Manuel Carrascalão became the new spokesman for the NC .
On July 15, 2001, Ana Pessoa Pinto resigned as Minister of Internal Affairs. She wanted to take part in the constituent assembly elections on August 30th . Her successor was Florindo Pereira .
