Rethinking Human Rights and Peace in Post-Independence Timor-Leste through Local Perspectives (Palgrave Macmillan Studies on Human Rights in Asia)

This book offers perspectives from the ground on human rights and peace in Timor-Leste. 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.
