independence from the Netherlands in 1949. Current issues include:

a transition to a popularly-elected government after four decades of
authoritarianism, addressing charges of cronyism and corruption, holding
the military accountable for human rights violations, and resolving
growing separatist pressures in Aceh and Irian Jaya. On 30 August 1999
a provincial referendum for independence was overwhelmingly approved by
the people of Timor Timur. Concurrence followed by Indonesia's national
legislature, and the name East Timor was provisionally adopted. On 20 May
2002, East Timor was internationally recognized as an independent state.
