This is a collection of photos and pictures of people and events mentioned in “Primordial Leadership: Peacebuilding and National Leadership in Timor-Leste“ published by the United Nations Press in September 2013 (ISBN: 9789280812244).
　　　　　The book covers the period from July 2002 to September 2006 when I served in Timor-Leste as the special representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations (SRSG) and deputy SRSG as well as the resident co-ordinator of the UN system`s operational activities for development.
　　　　　Post-conflict peacebuilding was successful in Timor-Leste for the Timorese leaders` commitment to national interest and unity, and their willingness to change their mindset and mentality, harmonize the universal ideals and principles of governance with local community values and customs, and to pursue the future rather than the past.
　　　　　I have endeavored to identify the photographers of photos as many as possible and wish to invite any photographers to inform me if any of their photos are shown without indication of their names.
