Driving Rules in Timor-Leste Must be Reformed

Timor-Leste and in particular Dili have been seeing a transformation over the past few years. As more oil revenue moves from the government budget and into infrastructure projects, Timor-Leste is becoming more and more developed. This is none more apparent than with the roads of Timor-Leste. What were just a few years ago damaged, potholed tracks are slowly being transformed into smoother, faster and better roads. This is an impressive movement for Timor-Leste and imperative if Timor-Leste is to become more efficient accessible country. It also however brings with it a new set of challenges and problems.

As any commuter driving down Comoro road at 5.30PM is bound to tell you, unsolicited most likely, that driving in Timor-Leste has become the most dangerous part of living in this country. The free-wheeling risk-taking nature of most of the driving in Timor is enough to shock even the most seasoned driver while close calls and near misses seem to be the norm rather than the exception.

Needless to say this driving is extremely dangerous and is the cause of many of the accidents happening today. Fundasaun Mahein has been receiving reports recently of the number of accidents and near misses are increasing, not just in Dili but also in many of the Timor’s Districts. With more people being able to afford vehicles and the better and faster roads that are being built throughout Timor, the number of accidents and deaths is only set to increase. It is imperative therefore that the PNTL immediately implement greater supervision over driving to keep ahead of this trend.

This however is yet to happen and as mentioned in our last blog, police and military vehicles seem to be involved in much of the bad driving we see everyday. When was the last time you saw the police pull someone over driving too fast or recklessly? If the PNTL are content to not enforce any of the road rules, what then is the point of sitting an exam for a drivers license?

Perhaps the lack of enforcement stems from the fact that the PNTL are not familiar with the road rules. It has come to FM’s attention that when conducting a crash investigation and finding out who is at fault, the Transit Police have a policy of blaming the car that was behind during the incident. This can be true in some situations but it seems the Transit Police are making this assumption in all crashes. It seems to matter little if you are cut off or a car suddenly pulls in front of you causing you to crash, it will be your fault.

This policy and the lack of knowledge of the road rules however is hardly surprising when one actually looks at the road rules. The first problem is that the road rules are entirely in Portuguese, a language that only a minority of the country speaks. The second problem is the length of the road rules: 70 pages long with 172 articles written in language that would not be out of place in a court of law. The third problem is that there are no pictures clearly demonstrating what maneuvers are legal and which are illegal.

It is highly unlikely that a majority, or even a small minority, of drivers in Timor-Leste have read all these rules and can clearly show what the correct driving technique is. The PNTL, as mentioned above, also (quite understandably) seem to lack the fundamentals of understanding these road rules. So despite the fact that this document exists it seems in reality there are no rules to driving in Timor-Leste.

This situation is hardly helped by the amount of unmarked roads without clear rules or signs to govern them. It can be confusing at times on some roads where one can park, who has right of way and what lane to go into if you want to turn at an intersection. It is the absence of clear regulations like these that has allowed motorists to make up their own as they please, leaving the police with no option but to accept these improvised rules.

If Timor is to continue in the path of its development, upgraded roads and infrastructure are simply not enough, upgrading our institutions and regulations must also keep on pace with physical development. The roads are the most visible of this issue and poses the greatest threat to human security, however all development in our land must be thought of in the same manner, if we are not able to upgrade our road rules or our institutions to keep pace with development, Timor-Leste will continue to face an uncertain future.

FM Recommends
• For the Department of Transport to create a new document that explains the road rules in a simple and easy to understand format that a majority of the population can understand.
• For the PNTL to work together with the department of transport and any other department to develop better clarity and regulations for what is permitted on each street and road in Timor-Leste.
• For the PNTL and the Department of Transport to embark on a campaign to educate drivers on good driving technique and the rules of the road.

Customs Border Control, Potential for Corruption?

Timor-Leste’s borders have of late been getting a fair bit of attention from the media and Non Governmental Organizations. FM along with the UN have consistently labelled the emergence of transnational crime groups, using Timor-Leste as transit point for drugs and weapons, as one of the great threats to Timor-Leste’s Stability. Indeed there does seem some truth to this claim with media sources reporting on several recent cases where groups producing Sabu-Sabu (Methamphetamine) have been arrested either trying to smuggle it in, or producing it locally for the purpose of exporting it. At a time such as this, it is imperative that customs and border control staff are doing their job as effectively, efficiently and most importantly as cleanly as possible.

This why we here at Fundasaun Mahein have become distressed from reports we have been receiving from the border. Corruption and a lack of discipline seems to be rising among the border post guards, something that until quite recently has not been a problem.

A practice that Fundasaun Mahein has become aware of is that the border security guards will regularly not process some Visa On Arrival forms and, at the end of the day, divide the money that comes from this amongst themselves. If this is the attitude of the border control guards looking to make a quick buck how are we able to trust them when faced with a bribe from a criminal organization with much more money to spend?

These reports seems to indicate that the processes to reduce corruption are either not in place or very poorly monitored and therefore easy to exploit.

FM believes that a simple and easy way to monitor any corruption in the border is to compare the amount of new arrival forms with the amount of money received for a visa on arrival, any discrepancies would indicate that corruption has occurred.

FM is also suspicious from the displays of wealth from the customs department. It has become noticeable that the customs and immigration division is one of the best equipped divisions of the PNTL. While other divisions face pressures in getting the basic necessities such as decent quality uniforms, the customs department is noticeable in that it always has brand new cars and the best weapons and facilities.

In order to try and investigate these claims we here at FM have tried on numerous occasions to try and find statistics and information on the border security. This has been an ongoing process over the past few years and coincided with several other reports that FM has written regarding the border. Inevitably following the formal process with The PNTL Customs Division in order to gain this information seems to yield few results with the information that FM does receive being unreliable and inaccurate.

It is crucially important that the PNTL reports all of important information and makes it readily available to anyone that requests it in order to increase the oversight of the borders. This will ensure that greater transparency and accountability for customs and border control staff and any suspicions of corruption are reduced. This is imperative to the very stability of Timor-Leste and will help us ensure that the borders are protected and corruption reduced to defend us against the threat of transnational criminal organizations infiltrating our land. It is now time to protect that which we have fought so hard to gain.

FM Recommends the following

• For the customs division of The PNTL to publish all statistics and monitoring information and make them readily available to the public.
• For the customs division of The PNTL to increase oversight at all border posts to ensure there is less risk of corruption to occur

Fundasaun Mahein (FM), 22 December 2014

Press Release

Recollecting Weapons and Bullets from Perpetrators of the 2006 Crisis

In a 2011 report concerning the investigation of weapons within the F-FDTL and PNTL, Fundasaun Mahein presented recommendations with regards to missing weapons. These recommendations were clearly presented to the Ministry of Defense and Security, and the these recommendations requested a comprehensive strategy for the recollection of weapons still in the possession of former F-FDTL and PNTL personnel. These weapons may also been in the hands of active members of the PNTL and even some civilians. Given the unknown status of many weapons used in the 2006 Crisis, it seemed that security authorities should conduct a comprehensive investigation.

Fundasaun Mahein’s monitoring from 2012 to the present noted that security authorities have made efforts to recollect illegal weapons from both communities and security personnel. To complement this initiative, the government has issued a resolution that establishes an official effort to recollect illicit weapons, bullets, explosives and uniforms. However, many citizens remain concerned with the spread of illegal weapons within communities.

On 22 August 2014, the Council of Ministry issued Resolution No.24/2014. This resolution established a grace period from 1st September 2014 to 31st October 2014, in which citizens and security personnel could hand over weapons, bullets, explosives, and uniforms still in their possession. This resolution asked these entities to continue collaborating in the name of political and social stability.

However, the time period mentioned in the resolution has officially ended. FM’s monitoring noted that security personnel, communities, and authorities identified by the resolution did not make sufficient efforts to complete this initiative, and these groups did not show cooperation.

FM’s monitoring has brought to light some troubling and complicated aspects of this initiative. Indeed, some members of the PNTL are keeping bullets and the military uniforms of the F-FDTL in their houses, despite the fact that the PNTL is institution responsible for conducting this operation. These individuals held onto the contraband items, despite the promise by the PNTL to not issue punishment to those who voluntarily handed over weapons, bullets, explosives, and uniforms voluntarily before October 31st, 2104.

A similar case took place on 6 December 2014, when security authorities recollected 500 pistol bullets, 986 rounds of AK-33 ammunition, Stayer weapons, and F-FDTL uniforms at the home of a police sergeant (V. de A. M) in Lahane Osidental, Dili. This police sergeant is an active member of the PNTL and was recently assigned to duty at the Uniform Logistics Department of the PNTL General Quarter.

Despite the evidence collected on-site, this police sergeant continues to testify that the materials mentioned above did not belong to him. However, the fact of the matter is that the man continued hiding those materials in his home, despite the government resolution mandating the handing over of these materials.

Bullets, military uniforms, and other missing security materials relating to 2006 crisis continue to surface. Meanwhile, Abilio Mesquita, one of the main instigators of the crisis, has received criticism by an independent investigative report conducted by the UN in 2006. Mesquita also faces allegations in the coming years.

Recommendations;

Weapons, bullets, explosives, and the military uniforms remain missing. This can be attributed to insufficient socialization of the resolution, as well as poor implementation by investigative officials and security actors on the ground.

These shortcomings have not deterred people from hiding their weapons. This FM report discusses the problematic reality: Citizens and even PNTL personnel continue to hide their weapons, even though these items are illegal and demanded for recollection by the state.

1. The Ministry of Defense and Security, the F-FDTL, and the PNTL should investigate former petitioners, members of FALINTIL, and civilians known to have been in possession of weapons during the 2006 crisis. These investigations should also examine active members of the PNTL and F-FDTL, institutions that had close access to weapons and bullets during the crisis. Finally, these searches should examine Abilio Mesquita as well as former members of FALINTIL, the PNTL, and the F-FDTL.

2. The Ministry of Defense and Security and the F-FDTL should investigate the police sergeant, ‘V. de A.M.,’ who was harboring weapons and uniforms at his residence.

3. The PNTL General Command should investigate and prosecute the aforementioned police sergeant, ‘V. de A. M’, according to the law and institutional rules.


2014: A Year in Reflection

As 2014 comes to a close, Fundasaun Mahein reflects upon the successes and shortcomings in security-sector development in Timor-Leste. Many lessons learned, and Fundasaun Mahein turns its gaze toward the future of this young democracy.

This year was one of relative peace and stability. From a security standpoint, no significant threats were posed over the course of 2014. Compared to recent years, there were no major acts of violence or uprising. Fundasaun Mahein believes that this calm and peaceful period symbolizes growing solidarity between citizens and security officials alike.

Indeed, this year witnessed a greater cooperation between the security institutions and citizens, as many initiatives have shifted to the community level. Police and community members have teamed up through community policing initiatives to prevent conflict and ensure greater safety for all. Community-level police measures have contributed greatly to security over this past year. Whereas these programs are less visible and less supported here in Dili, they have seen positive results across the country, as citizens have taken greater ownership of security within their communities.

This year, Timor-Leste hosted various international events. Perhaps the most involved was the CPLP Summit, at which representatives of Portuguese-speaking countries met to discuss and celebrate the common heritage of their peoples. Representatives from other governments also visited Dili this year, including the Foreign Minister of New Zealand and Susilo Bambang Yudayono (SBY), the former President of Indonesia, who visited Dili before the end of his political term. These visits, among others, seem to indicate a growing confidence in Timor-Leste as a stable entity.

Timor-Leste is also experiencing greater representation in international politics than before, thanks to the endeavors of former President of the Republic, Jose Ramos-Horta. In addition to his work as the Head of the United Nations’ Integrated Peace building Office in Guinea-Bissau, Jose Ramos-Horta has given countless speeches and lectures in 2014, offering his expertise in peace and conflict resolution.

A major headline this year was the sacking of foreign judges and foreign advisors by Government. This action was controversial, receiving both support and criticism from press entities both at home and abroad. While the long-term impacts have yet to be seen, it is noteworthy that the environment here in Timor-Leste after the event was quite calm and stable.

All of these developments in 2014 seem to indicate growing stability and peace in Timor-Leste, as well as a desire to participate in political discussions at the regional and international level.

It is with all of this in mind that Fundasaun Mahein offers the following hopes for 2015:

We hope that all citizens will contribute to the ongoing peace and security of this nation. We hope that all will join hands to define and support the prosperity of this young country. We hope that this country focuses on stability, in the effort to attract foreign investment, which will prove essential in building the education, economy, and security sector of Timor-Leste. With these goals in mind, we can truly make a difference in 2015.

Fundasaun Mahein wishes a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Endless Conflict of Martial Arts Groups in Timor-Leste

As most of us have been enjoying being on holiday and seeing friends and family over Christmas and New Years it can be easy to forget that for some tragic events can still happen. Timor-Leste has been rocked over the past few weeks with a series of brutal murders that happen over the New Years period. First came the news that on the 30th of December three people in Baucau had their throats cut at night whilst they were sleeping, their houses burnt and their livestock butchered. Next came the news from Dili that a further person had been murdered on the 1st of January in similar circumstances. Four murders in the space of three days.

The thing these incidents had in common is that that they were all committed by Martial Arts Gangs (MAG’s), the very same gangs that were outlawed in 2013. The specific motives behind these killings is not yet known however it does not seem that the murders in Baucau are not linked to the murder in Dili. The PNTL have reacted swiftly and have already arrested several suspects in these cases, all youth’s, under 18 years old. It is suspected that these teenagers have been exploited by adults in these gangs who have ordered them to commit the crimes, as being under 18 years old they will receive lesser prison sentences.

This leads to the question, that if all MAG’s were outlawed in 2013 how have they been allowed to continue to operate and carry out such audacious and grizzly killings as the ones we experienced over the New Years period. The answer seems to be Security force complicity. The continued involvement of some sectors of the security forces in MAG’s is something that even the government has acknowledged. On the 13th of January we saw 245 police and army officers, including the district commander of Dili, all suspected of being members or being involved in MAG’s, gather at the Palacio de Governu to swear an oath to the Prime Minister himself that they would no longer be involved with MAG’s.

While this in itself is a good first step, the question remains; if the authorities in charge suspected these 298 police and army officers still had gang affiliations how then have they been able to continue to operate in the security forces in direct contravention to the bill banning these groups in 2013?

The government needs to ensure that this first step is not the last step and that this oath is not just a mere promise, action against PNTL and F-FDTL officers who continue to have links with these groups is needed with real consequences given to those who flout this ban. The government and the security forces will face a very real blow to their reputation and trustworthiness if the oath is the only action they pursue.

The government must also be careful that the security angle is not the only action it takes in tackling MAG’s in Timor-Leste. The government must also target the underlying issues that have caused youth to join Martial Arts Groups such as a lack of economic opportunity, disenfranchisement of the youth and related social issues. The ministers of Defense and Security must ensure that their response to the continuing efforts to stamp out MAG’s includes coordinated actions with other sectors and ministries in government.

Until a committed and coordinated response to eradicating MAG’s in Timor-Leste is undertaken by the government incidents like this will happen time and time again. No longer is it just sufficient to pass a law and hope the problem will disappear. It will be up to the government in the following days and months and even years to commit to its resolutions and show whether they value the rule of the deal or the rule of law.

Fundasaun Mahein (FM), 29 January 2015

Press Release

Thematic Issues of the Security Sector in 2014
“Current Responses and Upcoming Challenges”

The National Development Plan (PEDN) and the strategic program of the 5th Constitutional Government explain that the government will ensure national security by developing the state institutions relating to defense and security. In this effort, the national government has faced challenges in professionalizing and managing the personnel of police and military institutions, but it remains committed to developing these institutions to fortify national security.

Fundasaun Mahein (FM), which examines defense and security issues in Timor-Leste, has contributed to national stability throughout 2014 by providing thorough analysis of the struggles and successes of security-sector development over the course of the year.

A repeated subject of interest in FM’s reporting this year has been the budget execution process of defense and security institutions. FM has expressed its concern with the lack of transparency and oversight in this process. Of particular concern this year was the single-source procurement system used in purchasing weapons and developing PNTL infrastructure.

Another challenge in 2014 was defining the legal and operational roles of the PNTL. FM investigated the institutional policy of the PNTL then supported the transition toward more community-centered policing. The community policing initiative has the potential to increase cooperation and trust between citizens and security personnel.

Also discussed this year was the PNTL upper-level promotion system. FM criticized the irregularity of the promotion process, one which led many disgruntled PNTL members to petition and threaten their departure from the institution. The promotion system, these personnel said, is not fair and credible.

FM also monitored disciplinary and behavioral issues within the military and police. Many national and international organizations have criticized these security institutions for their lack of discipline. Some members of the military and police have deliberately disobeyed the law, and these violations are damaging the prestige of security institutions across Timor-Leste.

Another issue is the security situation along the border territory of Timor-Leste. This topic was examined in detail by FM in 2014. The fragile security system and regional arguments (such as land disputes) at the border present clear threats to state sovereignty. Integrated security posts at the border are lacking in human resources, facilities, and equipment. These shortages greatly reduce the efficacy of security posts along the border.

Discussions this year also revolved around organized crime in Timor-Leste. Evidence gathered this year suggests that drugs still exist in Timor-Leste, and the presence of these drugs is becoming a threat.

FM also brought attention and concern to organized crime in a report published in September 2014. Fundasaun Mahein suggested that the shortcomings of the security sector have left Timor-Leste vulnerable to organized crime operations. This report examined the issues of drug trafficking, falsification of documents, mafia activities, money counterfeiting, money laundering, and transnational organized crimes, such as terrorism.

Another security concern raised by FM was the formation of civil institutions with weapons. Two such institutions were the Commission of Anti-Corruption (CAC) and the Scientific Police of Criminal Investigation (SPCI). The SPCI is the superior police corps, and the CAC is a branch of the special criminal police.

FM appreciates the positive strides made by the government this year in both budget policy and legislation. In response to challenges and threats to security, the government has been hard at work. In 2014, we witnessed disciplinary reform for F-FDTL and PNTL members, fortification the border security, clarification of institutional roles, increased in transparency, increased accountability, and legislation that directly combats drug trafficking and human trafficking in Timor-Leste.

Recommendations

1. National Parliament Committee B should perform an evaluation of security-sector budget execution in 2014, in order to ensure sustainable developments in defense and security in Timor-Leste.

2. The Ministry of Defense and Security should fortify infrastructure and human resources along the border territory. The MDS should also help establish an ‘online database’ that would greatly assist the Migration Services Department in its activities.

3. The Ministry of Defense and Security should review the studies and recommendations of civil society organizations, especially those that have analyzed the successes and shortcomings of security-sector development.

4. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation should, as soon as possible, resolve the land disputes along the border with Indonesia, in order to ensure greater security in the border territory.

5. The PNTL should collaborate with local authorities and community members in the effort to combat organized crime in Timor-Leste.

Fundasaun Mahein (FM), 30 January 2015

Press Release

An Oath for Members of the F-FDTL and PNTL:
End or Calm the Martial Art Groups

The issue of martial art groups has become a public concern. Various state authorities and civil society organizations have strongly discussed the issue of martial arts groups in the last two years.

A government resolution passed in 2013 demanded the total halt of martial arts group activities. These groups included ‘PSHT’ (Persaudaraan Setia Hati Terate), ‘KORK’ (Kmanek Oan Rai Klaran) and ‘IKS’ (Ikatan Kera Sakti). Some speculate that these groups still exist and continue to instigate conflicts within communities.

Representatives from some districts, including Viqueque, have stated that some martial art groups continue to recruit and train new members at night. Many of these communities have even approached the police with their concerns, but there is not yet a standard mechanism used to combat or dismantle these groups.

At the end of 2014, between Christmas (25/12/14) and New Year’s Day (1/1/15), a conflict took place in Baucau, involving youths from various hamlets, suburbs, and sub-districts. The majority of people believe that this conflict is related to martial arts rivalries. Three young men, houses were burned, and animals were killed during this incident.

Some suspect that members of the PNTL and the F-FDTL were somehow involved in this incident. Indeed, as noted by a recent FM report, this suspicion seems to be confirmed by the lack of any serious response by security authorities.

The possible involvement of security personnel was of great concern to the Ministry of Defense and Security. As such, on 13 January 2015, all members of the F-FDTL and the PNTL involved in martial art groups (totaling 288) were asked to participate in an “oath ceremony” at the government palace. In front of the RDTL and the flags of their respective institutions, these security personnel swore their allegiance to the people and the nation. With this oath, these former members of martial art groups are compelled to cease any involvement in gang-related conflict and to abide by the laws of the Constitution.

Recommendations

1. Community socialization and monitoring should take place, in order to ensure the disbanding of martial art groups, such as PSHT, IKS and KORK.

2. Former members of martial art groups should be reintegrated into their communities.

3. The F-FDTL and PNTL screen its members, in order to determine which members were formerly involved in martial art groups.

4. Involvement (or lack thereof) in martial arts groups should be considered during the recruitment process for new members of the F-FDTL and PNTL.

5. The Ministry of Justice and all relevant security authorities should take strong actions against martial art groups.

Maske nune’e presiza rekuiñese katak kontribuisaun doador sira nian durante ne’e hetan rezultadu pozitivu tebes ba dezenvolvimentu seitor seguransa iha Timor-Leste.

Governu foun ideia foun. Maibe ami sujere, buat diak barak halo ona ho nune’e kontinua no hametin servisu sira ne’ebé dadaun ne’e iha atu sai diak liu. Ami nia preokupasaun seluk kona-bá asuntu polisiamentu komunitaria no oinsa atu realiza planu estratejiku Polisia Nasional Timor-Leste (PNTL) nian. Hodi dezenvolve instituisaun PNTL tuir filozofia no karakteriska PNTL mak polisia komunitaria.

Uma kain ida, ahi matan barak no ema te’in ne’ebé hanesan. Ministériu idak-idak la ho koordenasaun diak no idak-idak la’o ketak. Iha servisu sira koordenasaun interministérial nian. La ho Koordenasaun diak iha estrutura Governu nian hadaet to’o iha servisu sira ho organizasaun sosiedade sivil sira. Ami nia observasaun identifika katak programa nasional dezenvolvimentu lokal nian, seitor seguransa esklui tiha iha planu ida ne’e nian. Karik haluha ka razaun seluk. Maibe seitor seguransa determinante tebes iha prosesu dezenvolvimentu nasional.

Problema no ami nia preokupasaun

Realidade grupu oin-oin iha servisu sira seitor seguransa nian. Hodi kria interpretasaun oin-oin mos ba servisu sira ne’e. Interpretasaun sira ne’e la sees husi “kria konfuzaun no kompetisaun” entre servisu sira iha Governu no organizasaun sosiedade sivil ne’ebé tulun husi doador sira. Iha servisu sira seitor seguransa nian.

Portantu Governu kria servisu sanak barak mos iha ministériu idak-idak hala’o servisu ne’ebé hanesan iha seitor seguransa nian. Ministériu idak-idak forma nia sanak servisu tau matan ba servisu ne’ebé hanesan. Maibe la ho komunikasaun diak atu koordena malu no idak-idak, la’o ketak-ketak.

Atu hadi’a servisu sira iha instituisaun sira seitor seguransa nian. Husi situasaun atual sira ne’ebé ami nota instituisaun sanak barak iha Governu no organizasaun sosiedade sivil. Hetan suporta husi doador ne’ebé hanesan ba atividade hanesan involve ema ne’ebé hanesan maibe la’o ketak-ketak. Ida ne’e hanesan oportunidade ba ministériu foun iha seitor seguransa nian atu simplifika.

Inklui organizasaun sosiedade sivil sira. ONG barak ne’ebé kontribui ba seitor seguransa ho servisu ne’ebé hanesan husi doador ne’ebé hanesan. Maske nune’e, grupu ONG sira kria rede servisu sira iha distritu to’o suku no la’o ketak-ketak. Koordenasaun sira ho Governu mosu insidental deit hodi konvida no ko’alia ba malu. Maske hetan suporta hanesan husi Governu no doador sira.

Ironiku liu tan, pesoal importante sira iha distritu no suku servisu iha grupu oin-oin tantu husi Governu no organizasaun sosiedade sivil. Ema ida deit simu servisu oin-oin husi grupu oin-oin ba servisu ne’ebé hanesan.

Kria konfuzaun oin-oin iha sosiedade nia leet no gasta tempu barak ba servisu ne’ebé hanesan.

Solusaun! Ami sujere atu simplifika servisu sira ne’ebé estabelese tiha ona hodi hetan rezultadu ne’ebé diak liu tan no servi efisiente liu tan. Nune’e redus konfuzaun sira iha komunidade nia leet.

1. Re-estruturasaun ba servisu iha Governu ho integradu

d. Utiliza suku hanesan mahon ba atividade hotu-hotu husi grupu oin-oin.

2. Karik Governu foun sei mai presiza aliña planu seitor seguransa ho programa nasional kona-bá dezenvolvimentu lokal ne’ebé eziste tiha ona. Konsidera katak seitor seguransa nu’udar parte integrante ida husi dezenvolvimentu nasional no involve iha koordenasaun interministerial ba programa dezenvolvimentu lokal nian.

3. Doador sira presiza aliña ho planu no programa Governu iha seitor seguransa nian. Nu’udar ezemplu ne’ebé eziste ona iha Governasaun nian laran.

Re-aplika sistema ne’ebé iha ona iha Governasaun hodi kontribui ba dezenvolvimentu suku. Hanesan Programa Nasional Dezenvolvimentu Suku (PNDS).

PNDS hanesan ezemplu diak no eziste tiha ona, wainhira Governu no doador sira servisu hamutuk hetan rezultadu ne’ebé diak. PNDS mos iha koordenasaun diak interministerial iha servisu seitorais sira.

Ami nia konkluzaun katak atividade hanesan husi grupu oin-oin no involve ema hanesan iha grupu oin-oin. Nune’e Governu no doador suporta grupu oin-oin ba atividade hanesan. Ida ne’e atu halo deit konfuzaun no dupla servisu entre instituisaun sira Governu no sosiedade sivil sira. Ironiku liu tan kria kompetisaun entre instituisaun Governu nian no organizasaun sosiedade sivil sira. Nune’e duvida boot ba sustentabilidade servisu sira suporta dezenvolvimentu seitor seguransa iha Timor-Leste.

Ikus mai ami nia prinsipiu fundamental mak Governu foun karik sei mai hodi kontinua suporta dezenvolvimentu seitor seguransa tuir prinsipiu neneik maibe bebeik ho pasensia.

Caught on Camera – Human Rights Abuses By F-FDTL and PNTL

An elderly Timorese man sits cowering and scared on a plastic chair. Surrounding him, a ring of security forces dressed in military and police uniforms taunt and mock as a soldier violently hacks away at the man’s long white hair with scissors. Encouraged by the crowd, another soldier feigns to punch the man’s head – they all laugh as the man instinctively winces. The man is then made to stand as soldiers punch at his body. When the man’s limp arms block the blows to his ribcage he is ordered to raise them above his head, as he does so his exposed body is struck immediately by fresh blows.

The paragraph above may be reminiscent of testimony recorded by the Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation(CAVR) in describing acts committed by TNI forces during the occupation, but actually it describes scene from a video believed to be filmed only weeks ago. More shocking, the security forces that appear in the video are Timorese.

Firstly a caveat, Fundasaun Mahein (FM) has viewed the video on social media and has not verified its authenticity – nor have we managed to interview the author who posted it to Facebook.

However, such is content we believe that there is prima facie cause to call for immediate action. It is barely worthwhile mentioning the all the laws and regulations that the soldiers breach in the video (The Constitution of Timor-Leste, Penal Code of Timor-Leste, F-FDTL Code of Conduct and Universal Declaration of Human Rights for a start…) as the treatment of the man is so plainly wrong to any decent citizen.

FM believes that the video was filmed within the Laga Sub-District (Baucau District) during the F-FDTL and PNTL Joint Command Operation (KOK) in response to the actions of Mauk Moruk and supporters of his banned Konselu Revolusaun Maubere (KRM) group. The Operation has been undeniably tense and stressful for members of security forces -incidents committed by the KRM have included the kidnapping of PNTL officers, destruction of a police vehicle and the theft of firearms. However, the operation itself and behaviour of the PNTL and F-FDTL has also been criticised with reports that security forces have broadened divisions within the local community and initiated greater suspicion and antagonism towards the military and police.

The chance of human-rights abuses is particularly high as operations such as the one currently underway in Laga drag-on and security sector personnel become increasingly tired, frustrated and scared. It is precisely at this time that the need for strong organizational culture, leadership and discipline becomes most obvious and it is the lack of any of these qualities that is so clearly illustrated in the video.

If verified, the video also provokes many other questions and observations in regards to the F-FDTL and PNTL:

- How can so many members of the F-FDTL and PNTL be directly involved or witness to such a flagrant abuse of human-rights without putting a stop to it? The lack of intervention seems to suggest that rather than an isolated incident by a few ‘bad apples’, the behavior on display is ignored or worse, actually endorsed by Security Force command.

- Why are the perpetrators recording the incident– is it simply gross stupidity or sadistic bragging? How is it that members of the security forces can feel so above the law that they are comfortable recording and posting their crimes on social media?

- Why, despite frequently publicizing the Human Rights training undertaken by members of FFDTL and PNTL, do incidents like this continue to occur? Is the training actually effective or is it simply a public relations exercise?

- Why have we not heard a statement from the F-FDTL or PNTL command regarding the video? It has currently been viewed over 12,000 times and it is hard to believe that leaders in these organizations are not aware of its existence. The failure to proactively respond to an apparent human-rights abuse either suggests incompetence, indifference or complicity within the leadership.

Whilst in recent years real progress has been made to develop trust, understanding and cooperation between the community and security forces, incidents such as this have the potential to significantly undo much of this good work. It may now be too late to repair all the damage done to the victim and community involved, but the F-FDTL and PNTL Command can retain a measure of support from the public if it acts decisively and transparently in investigating this incident. Alternatively, failure to act unequivocally in this matter will be interpreted as a secondary, and perhaps more damning failure of the security sector to uphold human-rights.

Fundasaun Mahein therefore urgently calls for:

1. F-FDTL and PNTL command to publically respond to this video, including providing a timeline for an investigation and any provisional disciplinary and procedural measures taken to ensure the public can have confidence in all current security sector personnel and operations.

2. The Ombudsman for Human Rights and Justice (PDHJ) to launch an immediate inquiry into this incident including, if substantiated, recommendations for criminal charges, victim compensation, and structural and procedural changes within the security sector organs to ensure human rights are upheld.

3. The Ombudsman for Human Rights and Justice (PDHJ) to launch an inquiry into the policies and actions of the Joint Command Operation by F-FDTL and PNTL undertaken in Laga for other possible human-rights abuses.

Komunikadu Imprensa

Mahein Nia Lian Nú 97 (Versaun Tetum.pdf) kona-bá Planu Estratejiku PNTL tinan 2014 – 2018 difine modelu polisiamentu ne’ebé PNTL adopta maka VIP (Vizibilidade, Involvimentu no Profesionalismu). VIP ho nia sentidu katak vizibilidade aas polisia nian halo katak komunidade sente seguru. Ho involvimentu komunidade nian halo komunidade sente katak sira hola parte. Ho atuasaun sira ne’ebé iha hatan ho profesionalismu hodi nune’e serbisu polisia nian satisfaz komunidade.

Ho nune’e filozofia polisiamentu komunitaria aplika ba membru hotu-hotu iha PNTL nia laran. Polisiamentu komunitaria la refere deit ba departamentu ka seksaun espesifiku ida iha PNTL, maibe refere ba aprosimasaun ne’ebé PNTL iha ba serbisu iha instituisaun nia laran no entre PNTL ho komunidade.

Filozofia ida ne’e sai ba buat konkretu ida iha serbisu polisiamentu nian. Papel importante ida husi Centro Formação Polísia (CFP) maka eskola PNTL nian ne’ebé iha kapasidade espesiál hodi fó formasaun moral, kulturál, fízika no tékniku-profisionál ba ofisiál, Sarjentu no ajente sira, no mós hodi atualiza, espesializa no fó valór ba sira nia kuiñesimentu.

CFP hala’o ona kursu formasaun ba PNTL sira to’o tinan 2015 maizumenus ba dala 35 ona hahu instituisaun PNTL estabelese ho total klase 81 inklui tulun husi parseiru dezenvolvimentu sira.

Durasaun formasaun ba ajentes rekruta sira durante tinan 1 (ida) ne’ebé kompostu husi fulan 2 (rua) iha Rairobo-Atabae-Bobonaro, fulan 8 iha CFP Dili, no fulan 2 ba hala’o estajiu, hafoin maka graduasaun hodi sai ajente polisia iha Instituisaun PNTL.

Formasaun sira ne’e importante tebes ba kadetes rekrutadu sira iha nivel kuiñesimentu baziku antes rekruta sai ajente polísia. Iha ne’ebé durasaun formasaun ba treinamentu baziku durante tinan ida nia laran. Fulan rua treinamentu iha Rairobo depois treinamentu atu familiariza ho lei no disiplina iha CFP no mos serbisu baziku kona-bá polísia nia.

Durasaun formasaun ba ajente rekrutadu sira kompara ho formasaun dahuluk liu hahu harii Instituisaun PNTL iha mudansa ida signifikativu tebes. Mudansa ida lori formasaun ida durante tinan ida hafoin ajente sira ezerse nia funsaun iha komunidade. Ida ne’e prova konkretu ida ne’ebé ita hakarak prepara didiak ajente sira tuir natureza polisiamentu nian ne’ebé PNTL adopta.

Formasun espesializada sira iha CFP inklui formasaun polisiamentu komunitaria no orientasaun prinsipal ida husi filozofia PNTL nian. Signifika katak elementu PNTL hotu formadu ho komuga doutrina polisiamentu komunitaria nian la hare ba husi unidade, departamentu ka seksaun serbisu sira iha PNTL nia laran.

Formasaun polisiamentu komunitaria la’os deit iha nivel baziku nian maibe kontinuasaun ba formasaun sira avansadu nian. Tantu iha CFP no rai liur liu husi parseiru dezenvolvimentu sira. Formasaun avansadu kona-bá kna’ar Ofisial Polisia Suku (OPS) hodi vizita tama uma sai uma hodi sosializa lei violénsia doméstika, polisia eskola, kuiñesimentu kona-bá droga, alkóliku nomos oinsa halo investigasaun báziku ba problema ruma ne’ebé akontese iha terrenu.

Maske klaru iha polítika no lei maibe nia implementasaun seidauk hatuur diak, iha pratika sira atuasaun PNTL nian ne’ebé lolos tenki ho aprosimasaun komunitária nian. Dala balu hatudu la iha konsistensia entre treinamentu no pratika iha terenu. Iha diferensia presepsaun iha unidade sira iha PNTL nia laran kona-bá atuasaun iha komunidade.

Iha presepsaun husi elementu PNTL katak polisiamentu komunitaria elementu sira ne’ebé kolokadu iha Departamentu Polisiamentu Komuniataria maka halo serbisu polisiamentu komunitaria. Elementu sira iha Unidade Espesial Polisia (UEP) nian hato’o katak ami nia espesializasaun maka atuasaun sira ba situasaun ne’ebé nesesariu duni uzu forsa nian hodi restaura hikas ordem públiku.

Nune’e mos elementu sira husi Task Force hato’o presepsaun ne’ebé hanesan. Polisiamentu komunitaria hala’o deit husi elementu sira iha Departamentu Polisia Komunitaria. Ironiku liu tan, ho presepsaun seluk katak aprosimasaun polisiamentu komunitaria hanesan hamaus krime no fo fatin ba ema kontinua halo krime.

Rekomendasaun

1. Rekomenda ba CFP halo koordenasaun ho Departamentu Polisiamentu Komunitária Nasional no ajente prinsipal Estadu nian hodi hakle’an liu tan formasaun polisiamentu komunitaria ba elementu hotu-hotu PNTL inklui kuadru legal nasional sira seluk.

2. Rekomenda ba CFP halo avaliasaun formasaun hodi hala’o retreinamentu ba PNTL sira espesifikamente ba unidade no departementu sira ne’ebé orienta ba filozofia PNTL nian.
