Jose Ramos Horta Quotes
In the case of Iraq, notwithstanding the violence there at the moment, the very fact that a hideous regime - responsible for genocide, for the use of chemical and biological weapons, aggression against two neighbors - has been removed in itself is a positive development. - Jose Ramos Horta Quotes
It would be a mind-boggling endeavor to try to identify each individual who claims to have been a survivor of victimization during this period of 24 years. - Jose Ramos Horta Quotes

We have already significant sums of money in our petroleum fund, a fund created by law that includes all the revenues received from the Timor Sea, and invests in conservative, safe, long-term investment portfolios - right now in US Treasury Bonds. - Jose Ramos Horta Quotes
Working together, they will dig out the truth and nothing but the truth about what happened in 99, to assign responsibility, and to look at the institutional failings. - Jose Ramos Horta Quotes
