Batek Island is a small uninhabited island located in the Savu Sea, northwest of the island of Timor, 9.3 km (5.8 mi) off the East Timorese municipality of Oecusse. The sovereignty of the island had been disputed between Indonesia and East Timor.It is 530 meters long and 420 meters wide, for an area of 13.5 hectares. Its highest point is fifty meters above sea level.
At the time of the independence of East Timor in 2002, this country claimed the island because it faced the East Timorese enclave of Oecusse. In 2004, Indonesian Colonel Moesanip said that this claim was abandoned when the East Timorese Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Ramos-Horta, recognized Indonesian sovereignty over the island.
