Abstract
Canadians talk a good game on international human rights, but a vast gap all too often exists between rhetoric and actions. Canadian policy towards East Timor, which spent 24 years under a brutal Indonesian military occupation before finally achieving its independence, has often been cited as a case in point. Canadian governments of both major parties failed during those years to live up to their high-minded words on human rights, choosing instead complicity with Indonesian policies.
