Pereira traveled to Geneva twice a year to hold talks on East Timor at the United Nations. Among other things, in its negotiations with Indonesia on East Timor, the Portuguese government, under the supervision of the United Nations, used a list of East Timorese political prisoners that it had received from the CDPM.
