PEREIRA, Zélia    FEIJO, Rui Graça. Portugal and Timor decolonization - from the Macau Summit to the Indonesian invasion. []. , 74, pp.35-53.   30--2022. ISSN 1645-9199.  https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2022.74a03.

The Macau Summit between Portugal and Timorese nationalist movements originated Law 7/75 which offered a roadmap for a peaceful decolonization of ‘Portuguese Timor’. Events in Lisbon and Dili immediately after its publication prevented the law from being implemented. However, Portugal decided to stick to its spirit - even if with some hesitations - and, in that sense, sought to intervene in the struggle between Timorese forces. The present article draws a history of the critical months that preceded the Indonesian invasion of that territory, which provisionally brought to a halt the process of self-determination.
