| Subject: New Human Rights Project in East
Timor
Dear all,
We would like to introduce you to the Judicial System Monitoring
Programme (JSMP), a new human rights project set up by the East Timorese
Jurists Association and the Timorese/international organisation La'o
Hamutuk. JSMP aims to assist the United Nations Transitional
Administration in East Timor, the East Timorese public and the
international community by making recommendations for ongoing reform of
the fledgling judicial system of East Timor.
The main objective of the programme is to improve the quality of
justice provided by the newly established judicial system, and to promote
human rights and the rule of law in a meaningful and transparent manner
for the people of East Timor through: * sending legal observers to monitor
the serious crimes trials; * providing legal analysis and thematic
reports; and * dissemination of information on the developments of the
justice system as a whole. At this stage, the programme s courtroom
observation work focuses primarily on the cases related to the violence in
1999, which include crimes against humanity, genocide and torture. The
programme s web-site at http://www.jsmp.minihub.org,
includes information on upcoming serious crimes trials at the Dili
District Court, comments on judgments as well as updated news on the
development of the justice system in East Timor and Indonesia.
If you want to receive regular updates you can subscribe to JSMP s news
service by sending an empty e-mail to list-subscribe@jsmp.minihub.org,
or go to http://www.jsmp.minihub.org/list.htm
The lawyers at JSMP will also provide media with updates and comments,
and function as a resource centre for NGOs, IGOs, Governments and others
who need to keep up to date on the development of the justice system in
East Timor and Indonesia.
