Wiranto ((:wiˈranto); born 4 April 1947) is a retired Indonesian army General. He was the Commander of the military of Indonesia from February 1998 to October 1999, and ran unsuccessfully for President of Indonesia in 2004 and ran unsuccessfully for the vice-presidency in 2009. Wiranto played a significant role in facilitating severe human rights violations by the Indonesian army and Jakarta-backed militias, during Indonesia's withdrawal from the occupied territory of East Timor in 1999. Both the United Nations and domestic groups have gathered evidence on this, but he continues to deny the charges. In January 2000, an Indonesian commission placed general responsibility for these injustices on Wiranto. Some claim that Wiranto played a key role as a moderating influence during the turbulent times of 1998 when Suharto resigned. He had the power to impose military rule, but refused to do so, thereby allowing the civilian process to develop. Taufik Darusman labeled him a "military reformist" because Wiranto reduced the military's role in Indonesian politics. He initiated the reduction of their seats in parliament and separated the police from the military. Nonetheless, more than 2,000 East Timorese were killed in violence under his watch, as well as 500,000 forced into displacement.〔Global Policy Forum, 'Ad-Hoc Court for East Timor', ==Early life== Wiranto was born on 4 April 1947 in Yogyakarta to RS Wirowijoto, a Primary School teacher and Suwarsijah. He was the sixth out of nine children. Only one month old, Wiranto and his family moved from Yogyakarta to Boyolali near Surakarta for safety reasons as the Dutch were planning to launch an attack on Yogyakarta.〔(Wiranto Janjikan Perlindungan HAM | Biografi Tokoh Indonesia )〕 At Surakarta, Wiranto completed his primary and secondary education. When he was a child, Wiranto dreamed of a military career, but as he grew up he developed the desire to become an architect.〔 However, training to become an architect was not feasible financially, so Wiranto decided to join the National Military Academy (AMN). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wiranto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
