      abstract = {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.
