I admit I didn't read all the legalese. Nor am I an expert in international law. But briefly, I believe that if ET does gain formal independence, it is under no obligation to honor treaties made by Indonesia. It can choose to do so, but doesn't have to by law, and the commitments of any individual made before independence is formally established are irrelevant. Also, unless ET puts itself under the jurisdiction of the International Court, the Court's decisions aren't binding on it. Don't know whether that's helpful or not. But you apparently were right initially to point this out as a factor which has been completely unreported by any US press I have seen.
