,,iii #aacth ,,congress #b;d ,session ,s4 ,,res4 #eif ,,in ,,the ,,senate ,,of ,,the ,,united ,,states ,december #aj1 #bjad ,mr4 ,udall of ,new ,mexico submitted the following resolution2 which was referred to the ,committee on ,foreign ,relations ,,resolution ,expressing the sense of the ,senate regarding the need for reconciliation in ,indonesia and disclosure by the ,united ,states ,government of events surrounding the mass killings during #aife-ff4 ,whereas1 on ,october #a1 #aife1 six ,indonesian ,army generals were killed by military personnel1 including members of ,indonesia's ,presidential ,guard1 and these killings were blamed on the ,indonesian ,communist ,party and labeled an attempted ,communist coup d'tat2 ,whereas this alleged coup was used to justify the mass killing of alleged supporters of the ,indonesian ,communist ,party1 with estimates of the number of dead ranging from #ejj1jjj to #a1jjj1jjj killed2 ,whereas the targeted individuals were predominantly unarmed civilians1 and often included members of trade unions1 intellectuals1 teachers1 ethnic ,chinese1 and those involved in the women's movement2 ,whereas these killings and the imprisonment of up to #a1jjj1jjj targeted individuals were done without due process of law2 ,whereas the targeted individuals were subject to extrajudicial execution1 torture1 rape1 forced disappearance1 forced labor1 and forced eviction2 ,whereas the ,united ,states ,central ,intelligence ,agency in a #aifh research study described the period as one of the worst mass murders of the twentieth century2 ,whereas the ,united ,states ,government provided the ,indonesian ,army with financial1 military1 and intelligence support during the period of the mass killings1 and did so aware that such killings were taking place as recorded in partially declassified documents in the ,department of ,state history1 ,foreign ,relations of the ,united ,states1 pertaining to this period2 ,whereas1 within months of military leader ,suharto's assumption of the ,presidency following the mass killing1 the ,united ,states ,government began sending economic and military support to ,suharto's military regime1 and played an indispensable role in its consolidation of power2 ,whereas aid to the ,suharto government continued for more than three decades1 despite on-going crimes against humanity committed by the ,suharto government1 including mass killing and other gross violations of human rights during the invasion and subsequent #bd-year occupation of ,east ,timor2 ,whereas perpetrators of the #aife-ff mass killings have largely lived with impunity1 and the survivors and descendants of the victims suffer continuing discrimination economically and for decades had limited civil and political rights1 as noted in the #bjab ,indonesia ,national ,commission on ,human ,rights report2 ,whereas the ,united ,states ,government has not yet fully declassified all relevant documents concerning this time period1 and full disclosure could help bring historical clarity to atrocities committed in ,indonesia between #aife and #aiff2 ,whereas the ,united ,states ,government has in recent years supported the declassification and release of documents in support of truth and reconciliation efforts following periods of violence in countries such as ,chile and ,brazil2 ,whereas open dialogue about alleged past crimes against humanity and past human rights violations is important for continued efforts to reconcile populations of ,indonesia and to ensure a stable1 sustainable peace that will benefit the region and beyond2 ,whereas1 ,indonesia has undergone a remarkable democratic transition over the last two decades1 and is the world's third largest democracy with the largest ,muslim population in the world2 ,whereas through free and fair elections1 the people of ,indonesia have elected new leaders who now have the opportunity to establish a culture of accountability in partnership with the country's vibrant civil society1 press1 academia1 and human rights activists2 ,whereas the relationship between the ,united ,states and ,indonesia is strong and involves many shared interests1 as reflected in the #bjaj ,united ,states-,indonesia ,comprehensive ,partnership1 including democracy and civil society1 education1 security1 climate and environment1 energy1 and trade and investment2 ,whereas the economic relationship between the ,united ,states and ,indonesia is strong1 with bilateral goods trade exceeding #bg1jjj1jjj1jjj and with major ,united ,states companies making significant long-term investments in ,indonesia2 and ,whereas strong relations between the ,united ,states and ,indonesia are mutually beneficial to both countries3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the ,senate-- 7#a7 condemns the mass murder in ,indonesia in #aife-ff2 7#b7 expresses great concern about the lack of accountability enjoyed by those who carried out crimes during this period2 7#c7 urges political leaders in ,indonesia to consider a truth1 justice1 and reconciliation commission to address alleged crimes against humanity and other human rights violations1 and to work to mend differences and animosity that remain after the #aife-ff mass killings2 and 7#d7 calls on the ,department of ,state1 the ,department of ,defense1 the ,central ,intelligence ,agency1 and others involved in developing and implementing policy towards ,indonesia during this time period to establish an interagency working group to-- 7,a7 locate1 identify1 inventory1 recommend for declassification1 and make available to the public all classified records and documents concerning the mass killings of #aife and #aiff1 including records and documents pertaining to covert operations in ,indonesia from ,january #a1 #aifd1 through ,march #cj1 #aiff2 7,b7 coordinate with ,federal agencies and take such actions as necessary to expedite the release of such records to the public2 and 7,c7 submit a report to ,congress describing all such records1 the disposition of such records1 and the activities of the ,interagency ,group4
