Preface

As we know, although victims and society in Timor-Leste, Indonesian and the international community and the UN do not support the existence of the Commission of Truth and Friendship (CTF), but the leaders of the two nations continue with the CTF process. Also we don’t know exactly about what CTF has been doing, but we hear that large amounts of public money have been spent on the CTF’s work.

Despite this, we hear that the CTF held four public hearings in Jakarta and Denpasar in Indonesia. Our observations during these have been that the CTF’s public hearings do not function well to reveal the truth and promote general principles and values of human rights, but function mainly as an opportunity for people to defend themselves and manipulate facts about violations of human rights in Timor-Leste. The CTF has especially used the public hearings to promote impunity. Finally, we also have heard that the CTF will also hold a public hearing in Dili from 25 to 27 September 2007.

For this reason victims and Timorese NGOs will stand to defend truth and promote general principles and values of human rights, especially about how to establish justice in Timor-Leste. This is part of the struggle for legal justice through mechanisms which are based in credible international legal standards, economic justice through efforts to give reparation to victims, and social justice through recognition and rehabilitation of the dignity of victims. Consequently, the victims and Timorese NGOs want to organize an Alternative Public Hearing to oppose the CTF public hearing in Dili.

GENERAL TOPIC :

“TRUTH AND JUSTICE THE WAY TO FRIENDSHIP FOR TIMOR LESTE AND INDONESIA”

GENERAL PRINCIPLES
