East Timor: When peace and justice collide

image of East Timor: When peace and justice collide

The Truth and Friendship Commission established jointly by East Timor and Indonesia in March, which began work on 11 August, is the first example of a bilateral such body: hence its name. The 10-member panel, based in Bali, will be given access to legal documents and is expected to conduct interviews in both countries. But its remit is to reveal the truth and promote reconciliation, not to recommend prosecution of offenders.
