The UN transitional administration's first regulation continued the laws in force before 25 October 1999, which included the Indonesian narcotics law, but abolished capital punishment. The 1997 offences therefore survived into independent Timor-Leste without their death-penalty option. A 2012 assessment still described the Indonesian law as the applicable drug statute.[1][2][3]
