what has the Indonesian government done to promote tolerance among Christians and Muslims?
The Commission fully appreciates the enormously difficult situation confronting President Wahid and the obstacles facing him and Indonesia in that country’s transition to democracy, and in the struggle for human rights and religious freedom there. In that context it is all the more important to urge that whatever measures the Indonesian government takes to prevent further violence are consistent with democratic principles and international humanitarian and human rights standards.The Commission will continue to monitor closely events in the Malukus, and we appreciate your consideration of our recommendations and our request for information.
