Self-description: "This website presents the data in Chapter 6 of that book in a highly accessible way. It uses hundreds of internal cross-links. [...] [The perpetrators' profiles are accessible] [...] - by legal status as suspects, by seniority, by the institutions where they worked, or by their last name. Alternatively, [one can] click on parts of the map of East Timor to see what happened there and who was responsible. A separate list highlights the worst atrocities in 1999. The entire contents of this site are downloadable as a zip file (~700 kb)."
