Ramos-Horta addressed the topic, "Pragmatism and Morality: The Case of East Timor" before an audience of over 200 people.
Ramos-Horta took little credit his Nobel Prize.
Ramos-Horta also credited the Catholic Church in East Timor for the humanitarian role it played in assisting victims.
While admitting that "there is no comparison" between the East Timor genocide and the Holocaust, Ramos-Horta stressed that some lessons learned from the killing of European Jewry in the 1940s are applicable today.
Domingos Policarpo accused Ramos-Horta of starting the civil war in East Timor and then leaving his suffering country for a life of ease elsewhere.
