She passed up an opportunity to meet the world-famous Bishop Belo, allowing that she hadn’t kissed any rings for de- cades, and was not missing the experience. Ring kissing (not only bishops’, but also priests’) is one of the many indications that the Catholic Church in East Timor is extremely conservative. Some would say it still lives in the days of Colonial Portu- gal. At the same time, the Church in East Timor was an absolutely crucial player in the resistance to the Indonesian occupa- tion for 24 years, and continues to play an enormous role both in people’s everyday lives and in the political economy of East Timor. I met a man who told me tales from recent East Timorese history, as so many East Timorese are anxious to do. When he got to the part about how Indonesia had Salesian nuns playing basketball at a retreat in Baukau. It is rare to accused East Timor of being communist, see a nun out of habit here, even in unbearable heat.

The convent, established in 1854 in central Singapore, is now the ‗premier lifestyle destination‘, CHIJMES. I show that the Sisters were early providers of social services and girls‘ education, with an orphanage, women‘s refuge and schools for girls. They survived the turbulent years of the Japanese Occupation of Singapore and adapted to the priorities of the new government after independence, expanding to become the largest cloistered convent in Southeast Asia.

  • “Orphans” Or Veterans? Justice for Children Born of War in East Timor
    Harris Rimmer 1 “Orphans” or Veterans? Justice for Children Born of War in East Timor Abstract All over East Timor, one can find “orphans” whose parents still live, and “wives” who have never been married. These labels mask an open secret in Timorese society—hundreds of babies were born of rape during the Indonesian occupation from 1974 to 1999. In juxtaposition, as a result of the 2004 UNFPA-conducted census, there is finally data available on the current population of East Timor and it has unexpectedly revealed a baby boom, perhaps in response to the emotional losses of the occupation. The fertility rate was found to be the highest in the world, at 8.3 babies per woman.1 The baby as the symbol of both wound and healing is clearly at play in Timor at the present time. Nonetheless, there is official silence on the number and treatment of the children born of conflict, a lack of attention in the transitional justice mechanisms in place in Timor in regard to the human rights violations that produced their situation, and no official policies to deal with the needs of these children or their mothers, or the discrimination they may face. The challenge posed by these children and women to the social fabric of Timor reveals important gaps and silences within the international human rights law framework which might nonetheless be addressed by some fairly straightforward policy innovations. In this paper, I argue that status of the mothers socially and legally, as it impacts on the well-being and ability of the children to claim their rights, needs to be more fully addressed in transitional justice debates.

Foreshadowing Future Slaughter: From the Indonesian Killings of 1965–1966 to the 1974–1999 Genocide in East Timor Kai Thaler Harvard University and Portuguese Institute of International Relations and Security The failure of the international community to act on the legal and moral imperative to stop, punish, and prevent genocide and other mass killings has led to the establishment of genocidal regimes that institutionalize genocide as a tactic of repression and power consolidation. One such repeat offender regime was the New Order government of Indonesia, which committed mass killings of known and alleged communists throughout Indonesia in 1965–1966 and later carried out a genocidal, colonial occupation of East Timor. I demonstrate parallels between the actors, tactics, and discourse of the communist killings and the Timorese Genocide.

The mapping was conducted under the overall guidance and supervision of Liza Barrie, Chief of UNICEF’s Civil Society Partnerships, Jeffrey O’Malley, Director of UNICEF’s Division of Data, Research and Policy. This mapping captures the tremendous amount of work being carried out in the field and supported by UNICEF regional offices and headquarters in New York and Geneva. One hundred and twenty UNICEF offices were involved in providing and verifying the information contained in this mapping. CSP would like to express its deep gratitude to all the staff from every office that contributed to this project, without whom this mapping could not have been developed. Feedback on the mapping was also provided through a validation workshop held in Geneva in December 2014. Special thanks to Maneli Agakhan, Leslie Goldman, Sahar Higerez, Shamsher Ali Khan, Kerida McDonald, Manisha Mishra, Samuel Momanyi, Frederique Seidel, Deepika Singh, Farelia Tahina, and Hanna Woldemeskel for their valuable insights and honest reflections.
