Edited sentence: -The Constitution of the Democratic Republic of East Timor Part II, Section 15.A flag was adopted by the representatives of the Timorese political parties and organizations during the first East Timorese National Convention held in April 1998 in Portugal.Because of that there was a consensus of the participants of the Convention adopt the flag as a temporary flag of East-Timor.FALINTIL is non-partisan and therefore represents the interests of the people and not the interest of any organization.Furthermore, the members of FALINTIL are the ones that continue to keep the flame of the struggle to self-determination and independence of East-Timor in times of difficulties.The flag originally was the flag of FALINTIL, the Liberation Army of East Timor.The results of the Convention were the formation of the CNRT (The National Council of East Timorese Resistance), which replaced the CNRM (The National Council of Maubere Resistance), and the adoption of the Freedom Charter of the People of East-Timor.They are the ones that continue to shed their blood for the sacred right to self-determination and independence of East-Timor
