The Security Sector Reform Monitor: Timor-Leste is now available for download in Tetum.
The Monitor is a quarterly publication that tracks developments and trends in the ongoing security sector reform (SSR) processes of five countries: Afghanistan, Burundi, Timor-Leste, Haiti and Southern Sudan. The inaugural issue of the Security Sector Reform Monitor, Timor-Leste, covers sector-wide developments and trends, but focuses predominantly on police reform.
The second edition of the Security Sector Reform Monitor: Timor-Leste examines the rise of national government ownership of the security sector reform (SSR) process. The report examines Timor-Leste’s draft National Security Policy and new legislative framework for the security sector. It also explores Timor-Leste’s unresolved security issues dating back to the 2006 crisis; namely the overlapping mandates of the police and the armed forces and the rise of paramilitary policing. Timor-Leste is showing troubling signs of police militarization and the blurring of lines between internal and external security responsibilities, as reflected in recent police operations, dubbed “ninja operations,” in the west of the country.
