DEVIA GARZON, Camilo Andrés  y  CADENA AFANADOR, Walter René. EAST TIMOR: INTERNATIONAL INTERVENTION AND MARITIME DEMARCATION. rev.relac.int.estrateg.segur. [online]. 2012, vol.7, n.2, pp.53-74. ISSN 1909-3063.

The international intervention in the East Timor conflict presents itself as a paradigmatic Peacekeeping Operation. While Australia's contribution was fundamental to guarantee the success of this operation, its participation also answered to other interests like a maritime demarcation favorable to Australia and the exploration of oil reserves in the Timor Sea. These actions, legitimated by the international community, have contributed to the weakening of peace and the revival of the armed conflict.

Palabras clave : East Timor; Australia; Maritime Demarcation; Peacekeeping Operation.
