Awareness leaflets for the Timor Leste Elections
Throughout the upcoming Timor-Leste elections, members of the Joint Task Force 631, Operation ASTUTE will continue to work closely with the Government of Timor-Leste and the United Nations Police (UNPOL) to preserve the integrity of the election process and in particular the important role of security in achieving this goal.
A high degree of cooperation between all organisations will be necessary to ensure the success of these elections that are vitally important to the future of Timor-Leste.
Operation ASTUTE is the Australian Government's response to a request from the Government of Timor-Leste to assist in restoring peace to their country.
The Australian Defence Force (ADF) has deployed to Timor-Leste with a mission to assist the Government and the United Nations to bring stability, security and confidence to the Timorese to allow them to resolve their differences democratically and peacefully.
Following a general improvement in the security situation and the establishment of a comprehensive commercial logistic support contract, logistic elements of the ADF no longer required for these duties have returned to Australia, leaving about 800 ADF personnel in Timor-Leste. This force will remain in Timor-Leste continuing to provide a robust response capability to support the United Nations Police force.
Police from Australia and 24 other nations throughout the world provide security in Dili. The ADF provides support to these police operations as required.
The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) is working alongside the ADF to assist with this mission.
