East Timor drops Aust spying case at UN
EAST Timor has dropped litigation against Australia after it returned documents its agents seized from a lawyer working for the tiny ex-Indonesian island.
EAST Timor has officially dropped its case against Australia before the UN's International Court of Justice, after Canberra returned sensitive documents relating to a controversial oil and gas treaty.
"THE case brought against Australia in respect of a dispute concerning the seizure of data and documents which belongs to Timor-Leste... was removed from the court's list on June 11," the ICJ said Friday in a statement.
