Still a potential flashpoint with major powers failing to agree it seems.

Australia calls for Timor healing
Mr Downer said Indonesia was not involved in the unrest
Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer has flown to East Timor and appealed for political reconciliation to end two weeks of unrest.
Mr Downer has held talks with the prime minister and defence minister and urged East Timor's rival factions to lay down their arms and join negotiations.
Australia supplies most of the 2,500 international peacekeepers there.
They are trying to quell unrest sparked by the sacking in March of 600 soldiers who had gone on strike.
The troops had alleged discrimination against those from the west of the country, close to the Indonesian border.
But Mr Downer was quick to rule out any Indonesian involvement in the unrest.
"We have no evidence at all that any of the violence here in recent times has been co-ordinated by anybody in Indonesia, or that there has been any Indonesian involvement in it," Mr Downer said.
"Indonesia doesn't want to destabilise East Timor."
East Timor Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri, who ordered the troop sackings, had said some of the unrest was caused by ex-members of pro-Indonesian militias.
Those militias had reacted violently to East Timor's pro-independence vote in 1999.
The two weeks of violence between rebel troops and ethnic gangs has left around 20 dead.
'Untenable'
Violence in Dili has eased recently but the UN has warned that camps set up to accommodate about 100,000 people who fled the unrest could become a new flashpoint.
Gregory Garras, head of the UN refugee agency's emergency team in East Timor, said: "People are living in a desperate situation, cheek to jowl. There's no privacy, it's hot, there's insufficient water. The conditions are absolutely untenable."
Mr Downer called on the UN to take a bigger role in supporting reconciliation in East Timor.
Mr Alkatiri said he expected international peacekeepers to stay for several months.
However, former colonial power Portugal and leading troop supplier Australia are still to agree a command structure.
Portugal has refused to allow its contingent to come under control of the Australian-led force.
Portuguese Foreign Minister Diogo Freitas do Amaral said its troops would never accept being "subordinate to the operational command of a foreigner" apart from the UN
