In June 1998, Indonesia proposed a limited autonomy for East Timor within Indonesia. In light of this proposal, the talks made rapid progress and resulted in a set of agreements between Indonesia and Portugal, signed in New York on 5 May 1999. The two Governments entrusted the Secretary-General of the United Nations with organizing and conducting a popular consultation in order to ascertain whether the East Timorese people accepted or rejected a special autonomy for East Timor within the unitary Republic of Indonesia. To carry out the consultation, the Security Council established the United Nations Mission in East Timor (UNAMET) on June 1999. The 5 May agreements stipulated that, after the vote, UNAMET would oversee a transition period pending implementation of the decision of the East Timorese people. On 19 October 1999, the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly formally recognized the result of the consultation. Shortly thereafter, on 25 October, the United Nations Security Council established the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET) as an integrated, multidimensional peacekeeping operation fully responsible for the administration of East Timor during its transition to independence. 1, record 1, English, - United%20Nations%20Transitional%20Administration%20in%20East%20Timor

Timor oriental s'écrit normalement avec un trait d'union et un «o» majuscule, mais dans ce cas-ci il faut respecter le libellé du décret et ne pas en mettre. 2, record 1, French, - Administration%20transitoire%20des%20Nations%20Unies%20au%20Timor%20oriental
