in Financial Times 28.06.06:
There are two lessons to be learned from what has happened [in East Timor]. First, the international community must not rush for the exit and abandon its responsibilities as soon as it has what seems an acceptable government in place in a new or newly rebuilt nation. The UN now admits it ended its East Timor operation too soon, even though officials on the ground warned that the situation was fluid.
Second, foreign donors need to focus more attention on establishing a robust but politically neutral police force and an independent judiciary in any new nation in their care. East Timor's police, trained by several different countries with different agendas and different skills, disintegrated in the face of last month's crisis.
