Just a heads up to everyone in the Security Council:

Australia's Foreign Minister Alexander Downer will visit East Timor 3 to 4 September to attend the third Australia-Indonesia-East Timor Trilateral Ministerial Meeting in Dili.

The trilateral meeting comes at an important time in the development of close and cooperative relations between Australia and two of our closest neighbours.

It would also give Australia the opportunity to engage East Timorese Foreign Minister José Luis Guterres and Indonesian Foreign Minister Dr Hassan Wirajuda on a range of security and economic developments in our immediate region. Besides that, they will cooperative approaches to countering the shared threat of terrorism and transnational crime.

Discussion will also include the outlook for East Timor, including the role Australian-led international security forces will play on the ground to support the new UN Mission in East Timor (UNMIT).

It's to keep the SC informed of Australia's efforts to maintain peace, security and stability in the country.

Could someone explain this buffer zone thing please? Why would the election be within the 30 day limit, and how does the buffer zone work - it comes into action inbetween day 26 and day 30, or ends on day 26?

Thank you Apollo.

France is in full support of this resolution in it's current state; we are, however, open to any changes and will happily consider all suggestions.

I would but I'm personally confused at what he's saying myself. :redface:

Could definitely be simplified and made more explicit.

I think he's basically saying that you must represent the same country for at least 30 days, but you can stand for a SC seat after 26 days as long as the election will last longer than 4 days (in other words, making sure you will represent the same nation for 30 days).
