The UN Security Council praised UNTAET and its leader, UN Special Envoy for East Timor Sérgio Vieira de Mello, for helping the people of East Timor lay the foundations for the transition to independence. The note of the UN Security Council was recalled in the declaration of its president (S / PRST / 2001/32) on the proposal of the Constituent Assembly of East Timor of October 19, 2001 that independence should be declared on May 20, 2002. The UN Security Council welcomed the zealous efforts of the Second Interim Government and the people of East Timor to keep this date for independence. The report of the United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan (S / 2002/80 and Corr.1) and his recommendation that the mandate of UNTAET should be extended until the desired independence date was noted was noted. The UN Security Council expected further, concrete proposals from the Secretary General for the mandate and a structure of a follow-up mission of the United Nations after independence, at least one month before the desired independence date.

The Secretary-General's report of January 17, 2002 was welcomed by the Security Council and decided to extend UNTAET's current mandate until May 20, 2002.

The UN Security Council decided to continue actively dealing with the matter.

Follow-up time

On April 14, 2002, Xanana Gusmão was elected the first President of East Timor .

East Timor was given independence on May 20, 2002 . The mandate of UNMISET was later extended to 2005, then replaced by the one-year follow-up mission to the United Nations Office in East Timor (UNOTIL). When unrest broke out in East Timor in 2006 , the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT), together with the International Stabilization Force (ISF), became necessary. The UN missions in East Timor finally ended on December 31, 2012.
