Abstract

UN officials were also not amused by the American led manoeuvre to isolate the international body in the global relief effort. A "core" group comprising the US, Japan, India and Australia tried to appropriate the role traditionally reserved for the UN in international disaster management. The British government had first ordered the despatch of Gorkha soldiers to Aceh for relief work. Blair had to hastily withdraw his order after protests from Indonesia. Gorkha soldiers had played a key role in defeating the Indonesian army when Jakarta tried to take over the kingdom of Brunei in the sixties. The Australian government was trying to reach aid directly to Aceh, bypassing both UN as well as Indonesian authorities. Good sense finally prevailed at the Jakarta isin the first week of January when the five countries agreed to the Indonesian proposal that all relief and rehabilitation work should be coordinated under the auspices of the UN.
