Eventos ocorridos tanto em Lisboa como em Díli na sequência da publicação dessa lei inviabilizaram que ela pudesse ter sido cumprida. No entanto, Portugal manteve - embora com hesitações - a ideia de respeitar o seu espírito e, nesse sentido, procurou intervir no conturbado processo de luta intestina em Timor. O presente artigo faz o historial dos cruciais meses que antecederam a invasão indonésia de Timor, pondo um fim provisório à sua autodeterminação.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract The Macau Summit between Portugal and Timorese nationalist movements originated Law 7/75 which offered a roadmap for a peaceful decolonization of &#8216;Portuguese Timor&#8217;. 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.]]></p></abstract>
