Summary
This book offers perspectives from the ground on human rights and peace in Timor-Leste. By highlighting the local voices, this book draws on their experience and expertise in engaging with questions concerning the nexus between human rights, peace and development. It posits that these concepts no longer mean absence of conflict, and argues that sustainable peace must be built from rights frameworks to protect the locals interests in the processes. Acknowledging the lack of autonomy on local actors in peace-making contexts, the book emphasizes the urgent need to facilitate the creation of political and social structures that can support and offer contextual rights and dignity for the Timorese community. Khoo Ying Hooi, PhD is a university lecturer at the Department of International and Strategic Studies, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Malaya. Antero Benedito da Silva, PhD is a university lecturer on peace and conflict studies and the Director of Peace Center at the Timor Lorosae National University (UNTL). Therese Nguyen Thi Phuong Tam, PhD is a university lecturer in the Community Development Department, Faculty of Social Science at the UNTL.
