International Coalition Urges UN to Be Active for
Justice for East Timorese
For Immediate Release
Contact: John M. Miller (ETAN), New York +1/917-690-4391;
etan@igc.org
June 1, 2008 - In a letter to UN
Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, an international coalition of
more than 90 human rights and other organizations urged the
UN and the international community "to fulfill their
long-standing commitment to see that justice is done for
crimes against humanity committed in Timor-Leste" during
Indonesia's two and one-half decade occupation.
The letter comes as the bi-lateral Commission on Truth and
Friendship (CTF) prepares to hand its report over to the
presidents of Indonesia and Timor-Leste.
The letter said the CTF report "must
not stand as the last word on these issues.... The
right to know (the truth) and the right to justice are
inalienable, and are a bulwark against the culture of
impunity represented by [Indonesia's] Ad Hoc Court and the
CTF."
The letter noted the April release of Eurico Guterres, the
last remaining defendant of Ad Hoc Court. All those tried by
the court have now been acquitted bringing that "farcical
process to an end."
The letter urged the Secretary-General "to work towards the
creation of an ad hoc international criminal tribunal for
those who bear greatest responsibility for war crimes and
crimes against humanity committed from 1975 onwards, not
just in 1999," as recommended by The independent
Commission for Reception, Truth
and Reconciliation (CAVR) and the UN's own
Commission of
Experts.
The organizational signers were joined by more than 30
academic experts and other concerned individuals.
The letter with a list of signers is available in English,
Bahasa Indonesia and Tetum at
http://www.etan.org/news/2008/056moon.htm.
In April, 34 members of the U.S.
Congress urged the U.S. administration to "take a
leadership role" in bringing those responsible for human
rights violations perpetrated against the people of
Timor-Leste during and immediately following the Indonesian
occupation to justice. "If credible trials and appropriate
punishments of those responsible for major human rights
violations are to occur, an international effort is needed,"
they wrote.
The congressional letter specifically urged the U.S. to
respond to the CAVR report. A number of its recommendations
and findings concern the U.S., the UN, and the broader
international community.

His
Excellency Ban Ki-Moon
Secretary-General
The United Nations
1 United Nations Plaza
New York, New York 10017-3515
Your Excellency,
The recent release of former militia leader Eurico Guterres
by the Indonesian Supreme Court brings Indonesia's farcical
process to an end. Meaningful justice to the long-suffering
people of Timor-Leste is long overdue. We urge you to work
to uphold the rule of law and strengthen the democratic
transition in both countries. It time for the United Nations
and the international community to fulfill their
long-standing commitment to see that justice is done for
crimes against humanity committed in Timor-Leste.
As you know, Eurico Guterres was tried by Indonesia's Ad Hoc
Court on charges of murder and persecution as crimes against
humanity along with 17 other defendants. All have now walked
free. Indonesia created this court to deflect demands for an
international tribunal. The UN's Commission of Experts (COE)
conducted a thorough analysis of the Ad Hoc Court,
describing it as "manifestly inadequate." The COE identified
such major flaws as a lack of commitment on the part of the
prosecution, deficient investigations, inadequate
presentation of evidence, a courtroom atmosphere that did
not inspire confidence in the public mind, inconsistent
verdicts, and an unwillingness to utilize sound
jurisprudence. The COE concluded that the Ad Hoc Court "was
not effective in delivering justice", and revealed "scant
respect for or conformity to relevant international
standards". Even one of the judges in the Ad Hoc Court
conceded that it had "not made any significant contribution
to strengthening the rule of law in Indonesia". In this
context, Guterres' acquittal only highlights the flawed
nature of that process.
The "Updated Set of principles for the protection and
promotion of human rights through action to combat impunity"
[E/CN.4/2005/102/Add.1],
states:
"The fact that an
individual has previously been tried in connection with
a serious crime under international law shall not
prevent his or her prosecution with respect to the same
conduct if the purpose of the previous proceedings was
to shield the person concerned from criminal
responsibility, or if those proceedings otherwise were
not conducted independently or impartially in accordance
with the norms of due process recognized by
international law and were conducted in a manner that,
in the circumstances, was inconsistent with an intent to
bring the person concerned to justice."
We submit that both exceptions
apply to the Ad Hoc Court, meaning that those acquitted are
still able to face a credible court. We urge you to work to
establish a meaningful legal process to try those
responsible for crimes against humanity, war crimes and
other serious crimes committed by Indonesian forces during
the occupation of Timor-Leste.
The upcoming report of the flawed, bilateral Commission on
Truth and Friendship (CTF) must not stand as the last word
on these issues. We applaud your predecessor's decision -
reiterated by you - not to confer legitimacy on the CTF. The
right to know (the truth) and the right to justice are
inalienable, and are a bulwark against the culture of
impunity represented by the Ad Hoc Court and the CTF.
The independent Commission for Reception, Truth and
Reconciliation (CAVR) and the UN's Commission of Experts
both recommended the creation of "an ad hoc international
criminal tribunal for Timor-Leste" should Indonesia, under a
strict time frame, continue to fail to credibly prosecute
senior officials responsible for the devastation in 1999.
The Guterres acquittal confirms that the Indonesian
government is unable to deliver justice. We therefore call
upon you to work towards the creation of an ad hoc
international criminal tribunal for those who bear greatest
responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity
committed from 1975 onwards, not just in 1999. If this is
not feasible, we urge you to fully reconstitute the Serious
Crimes process, providing it with sufficient resources and
backing. This should be done in accordance with
recommendations 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 of the CAVR Report - namely,
the UN itself should provide the resources and judicial
expertise, not Timor-Leste's court system. Indonesia, which
is currently a member of both the Security Council and UN
Human Rights Council, must extradite for trial those charged
by the Serious Crimes process.
There is overwhelming support for justice for past crimes
within Timor-Leste, especially by the Church, civil society
and victims' associations. Indonesian civil society groups
are also emphatic in their support of the justice agenda,
seeing it as vital to their nation's democratic transition.
We remind you of the Security Council's earlier commitments,
expressed more than seven years ago in Resolutions 1264 and
1272, to bring those responsible to justice. Timor-Leste
faces tremendous difficulties in taking the lead on the
matter of justice in the face of opposition from its
powerful neighbor. The international community, as embodied
in the United Nations, must be involved in addressing these
crimes which violated international criminal law, the UN
charter and Security Council resolutions.
Yours sincerely,

Kepada Yang Terhormat
Ban Ki-Moon
Sekretaris Jenderal
Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa

New York, New York 10017-3515
Dengan hormat,
Pelepasan mantan pemimpin milisi Eurico Guterres dari
penjara oleh Mahkamah Agung Republik Indonesia mengakhiri
proses peradilan Indonesia yang tidak masuk akal. Keadilan
yang bermakna bagi rakyat Timor Leste yang melalui
penderitaan panjang, sudah terlambat lama. Kami mendesak
Anda untuk menegakkan rule of law dan memperkuat transisi
demokratik di Indonesia dan Timor Leste. Sudah saatnya bagi
PBB dan komunitas internasional untuk memenuhi komitmen lama
mereka memastikan keadilan ditegakkan atas kejahatan
terhadap kemanusiaan yang terjadi di Timor Leste.
Seperti Anda ketahui, Eurico Guterres diadili oleh
Pengadilan Ad Hoc Indonesia dengan dakwaan pembunuhan dan
persekusi sebagai kejahatan terhadap kemanusiaan dengan 17
terdakwa lainnya. Semua terdakwa itu kini bebas. Indonesia
menciptakan pengadilan ini untuk menghindari tuntutan
dibukanya sebuah pengadilan internasional. Komisi Ahli PBB
melakukan analisis mendalam tentang Pengadilan Ad Hoc, dan
menggambarkannya "jelas tidak memadai." Komisi Ahli itu
mengidentifikasi kelemahan-kelemahan mendasar itu sebagai
ketiadaan komitmen di pihak penuntut, penyelidikan yang
lemah, pemeriksaan bukti-bukti yang tidak memadai, dan
suasana ruang pengadilan yang tidak melahirkan keyakinan
pada pengadilan itu dalam benak publik, putusan-putusan yang
tidak konsisten, dan ketidakmauan menggunakan yurisprudensi
yang baik. Komisi Ahli itu menyimpulkan bahwa Pengadilan Ad
Hoc "tidak menegakkan keadilan secara efektif," dan
mengungkap "kurangnya penghargaan dan kesesuaian dengan
standar-standar internasional yang relevan." Bahkan salah
seorang hakim dalam Pengadilan Ad Hoc mengakui bahwa
pengadilan itu "tidak memberikan kontribusi penting untuk
memperkuat rule of law di Indonesia." Dalam konteks inilah,
pelepasan Guterres dari penjara hanya menegaskan kelemahan
dari proses tersebut.
"Perangkat prinsip yang diperbarui untuk perlidungan dan
pemajuan hak asasi manusia melalui tindakan memerangi
impunitas," [E/CN.4/2005/102/Add.1], menyatakan:
"Kenyataan bahwa seseorang
sudah pernah diadili dalam hubungannya dengan kejahatan
serius di bawah hukum internasional semestinya tidak
menghalangi penuntutan lain terhadap perbuatan yang sama
jika tujuan dari peradilan sebelumnya justru melindungi
orang tersebut dari tanggung jawab pidana, atau jika
peradilan itu tidak dilakukan secara independen dan
imparsial sesuai dengan norma-norma proses yang
memuaskan sesuai dengan hukum internasional dan
dilaksanakan dengan cara yang, dalam lingkup tersebut,
konsisten dengan tujuan menegakkan keadilan terhadap
orang yang bersangkutan."
Kami berpendapat bahwa kedua
pengecualian itu berlaku bagi Pengadilan Ad Hoc, yang
berarti bahwa orang-orang yang dibebaskan masih dapat
dihadapkan pada pengadilan yang kredibel. Kami mendesak Anda
untuk bekerja untuk menegakkan proses hukum yang bermakna
untuk mengadili mereka yang bertanggungjawab atas kejahatan
terhadap kemanusiaan, kejahatan perang dan kejahatan serius
lainnya yang dilakukan pasukan-pasukan Indonesia selama
menduduki Timor Leste.
Laporan Komisi Kebenaran dan Persahabatan yang dibentuk
Indonesia dan Timor, dan penuh kelemahan itu, semestinya
tidak menjadi kata terakhir mengenai masalah-masalah ini.
Kami menyambut baik keputusan pendahulu Anda - yang diulangi
oleh Anda - untuk tidak memberikan legitimasi kepada KKP.
Hak untuk tahu, hak atas kebenaran dan hak atas keadilan
tidak dapat diingkari, dan menjadi pertahanan yang kokoh
terhadap budaya impunitas yang ditampilkan oleh Pengadilan
Ad Hoc dan KKP.
Komisi Penerimaan, Kebenaran dan Rekonsiliasi (CAVR) dan
Komisi Ahli PBB sama-sama merekomendasikan pembentukan
"pengadilan ad hoc internasional untuk Timor Leste" jika
Indonesia, dalam kerangka waktu yang ketat, terus gagal
mengadili para perwira seniornya yang bertanggung jawab atas
penghancuran pada 1999 secara memuaskan. Pembebasan Guterres
menegaskan bahwa pemerintah Indonesia tidak dapat menegakkan
keadilan. Karena itu kami menyerukan kepada Anda untuk
bekerja menuju pembentukan pengadilan ad hoc pidana
internasional bagi mereka yang paling bertanggungjawab atas
kejahatan terhadap kemanusiaan yang dilakukan sejak 1975,
dan bukan hanya pada 1999. Jika ini tidak dapat dilakukan,
maka kami mendesak Anda untuk kembali menyelenggarakan
proses Kejahatan Serius, dan memberikan sumber daya serta
dukungan yang cukup. Langkah ini harus dilakukan sesuai
dengan rekomendasi 7.1.1. dan 7.1.2 dalam Laporan CAVR -
yakni bahwa PBB, dan bukan sistem peradilan Timor Leste,
yang harus menyediakan sumberdaya dan tenaga yudisial.
Indonesia yang kini merupakan anggota Dewan Keamanan dan
Dewan Hak Asasi Manusia PBB, yang mengekstradisi para
terdakwa untuk diadili oleh peradilan Kejahatan Serius.
Ada dukungna berlimpah untuk penegakan keadilan terhadap
kejahatan masa lalu di dalam Timor Leste, khususnya dari
gereja, masyarakat sipil dan perhimpunan korban.
Kelompok-kelompok masyarakat sipil Indonesia juga tegas
mendukung agenda keadilan, dan melihatnya sebagai sesuatu
yang vital bagi transisi demokratik di negeri mereka. Kami
mengingatkan Anda akan komitmen-komitmen Dewan Keamanan yang
disampaikan lebih dari tujuh tahun lalu dalam Resolusi 1264
dan 1272, untuk membawa mereka yang bertanggungjawab ke
pengadilan.
Timor Leste menghadapi kesulitan luar biasa besar untuk
memimpin dalam urusan keadilan ini karena menghadapi
perlawanan dari tetangganya yang sangat kuat. Komunitas
internasional, yang mewujud dalam Perserikata Bangsa-Bangsa,
harus dilibatkan untuk menangani kejahatan-kejahatan ini,
yang melanggar hukum pidana internasional, Piagam PBB dan
resolusi-resolusi Dewan Keamanan.
Hormat kami,
