INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURTTIMOR-LESTEJUSTICE IN THE SHADOW
On 6 September 2002, Timor-Leste acceded to the Rome Statute of the
International Criminal Court (Rome Statute). Nearly seven years after
becoming a state party, Timor-Leste implemented into its 2009 Penal Code its
complementarity obligations under the Rome Statute.
Amnesty International recognizes these first steps as important developments
in the fight against impunity. However, some aspects of the Penal Code are not
consistent with the Rome Statute and other conventional and customary
international law. In addition, there is a lack of provisions on co-operation with
the International Criminal Court.
In this report, Amnesty International provides a legal analysis of Timor-Lestes
2009 Penal Code and the extent to which it has incorporated complementarity
provisions under the Rome Statute and implemented other international
criminal law, or failed to do so.
The report also includes recommendations for effective implementation, by
amending the Penal Code to bring it into line with the Rome Statute and other
international law obligations, including an explicit ban on amnesties, pardonsand other forms of impunity for crimes under international law, as well as
providing for co-operation obligations under the Rome Statute.
