A resolution condemning the murder of a United States citizen and other civilians, and expressing the sense of the Senate regarding the failure of the Indonesian judicial system to hold accountable those responsible for the killings.

Summary

Condemns the brutal murder of Carlos Caceres, a U.S. citizen, in West Timor. Decries the inadequate sentences given by the Indonesian judicial system to the killers of Caceres and two other United Nations aid workers. Calls on the Indonesian Government to indict and bring to trial the senior military commanders described in a September 1, 2000, statement by that Government as suspects in the mass killings following the August 1999 East Timor referendum. Calls for the President: (1) at every appropriate meeting with officials of the Indonesian Government, to stress the importance of ending the climate of impunity which shields those individuals suspected of perpetrating, collaborating in, or covering up extrajudicial killings, torture, and other human rights abuses, especially senior members of the Indonesian military; and (2) to consider the willingness of such Government to make rapid and substantive progress in judicial reform when determining the level of financial support provided by the United States to Indonesia.
