UN? I thought the UN was defunct according to these two. (UPI Focus) Clinton, Blair plan East Timor strategy LONDON, Sept. 9 (UPI) - British Prime Minister Tony Blair and President Bill Clinton have agreed to pursue a "twin-track" political and diplomatic approach to try to defuse the East Timor crisis, officials said. Blair's office at No. 10 Downing Street said the two men talked on telephone for 20 minutes today and agreed to back an "effective and concerted" effort to persuade Indonesia to accept an international peacekeeping force with moves to build a political consensus for action at the U.N. Security Council. "Both agreed that the situation in East Timor is extremely serious," a Downing Street spokeswoman told United Press International. "They agreed they should do all they can to persuade Indonesia to accept an international force to help re-establish law and order in East Timor." Sky News television said that during their telephone conversation, the two leaders discussed a dual strategy for restoring order in the territory. Both agreed that an "effective and concerted" effort to persuade Indonesia to accept an international peacekeeping force had to be accompanied by moves to build a political consensus for action. Officials said Clinton and Blair agreed to work together to build a political consensus at the U.N. Security Council and eventually secure a mandate for sending peacekeepers to the violence-hit region. Such a force would be headed by the leading regional nations, including Australia and New Zealand. Sky News television said the two leaders agreed that "it was important to get a U.N. international force there as quickly as possible - although they recognized that, for the immediate future, the only people who can restore law and order and disarm the militias are the Indonesians themselves." -- Copyright 1999 by United Press International.
