EAST TIMOR: UN threatens to boycott truth commission
Updated
The United Nations says it may boycott East Timor and Indonesia's Commission of Truth and Friendship. Jakarta and Dili set up the commission two years ago, to look into hundreds of killings carried out during East Timor's independence vote in 1999. But the UN says it won't allow staff members who were based in the region to testify, if the commission grants amnesties to people found to have committed human rights crimes.
