"Launch of human rights manual for the National Police of Timor-Leste"
19 October 2021
On 15 October 2021, the Provedoria for Human Rights and Justice (PDHJ), the National Police of Timor-Leste (PNTL) and the UN Human Rights Advisory Unit in Timor-Leste, launched the Human Rights training manual for the PNTL. The new manual has substantially revised the previous manual, which was launched in 2014 and which has been supporting the joint capacity building program of those institutions to members of the PNTL. The revision results from the need to incorporate lessons learned over the years of implementation of the training program, as well as current developments in the country's legal framework. It also includes new sections, such as on States of Emergency, and focuses more in depth on the role of the PNTL vis a vis the challenges faced by groups of concern in the country.
The new manual, now updated to the current needs and challenges faced during policing activities in Timor-Leste, will start being used this week, in the training taking place from 18-22 October in Lospalos (Lautem district) to 23 PNTL staff (including 10 female). Another similar training will take place next week (25-29 October) for PNTL staff in Viqueque dstrict.
