Media release
Dissemination of CAVR Report 'Chega!'
Acting on instructions from the President of the Republic, the Post-CAVR
Technical Secretariat (PCTS) today delivered copies of the CAVR Report 'Chega!'
to a number of donors and embassies in Dili.
"Today, we delivered hard copies of the
full CAVR Report to
officials of 12 embassies or agencies with a request that the copies be
handed to the heads of Government in each country concerned. Those to
receive copies today were Australia, Brazil, China, European Commission,
Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Portugal, the United
Kingdom, and the USA", said Rev Agustinho de Vasconselos, Director of
the PCTS.
The Report was also delivered today to the Head of UNOTIL, SRSG Dr
Sukehiro Hasegawa, and to the UNOTIL Human Rights Unit for the UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights, and to the Co-Chairs of the Timor-Leste/Indonesia
Commission for Truth and Friendship. Copies were also handed over to the
respective Embassies for delivery to the Prime Minister of Portugal and
Speaker of the Portuguese Parliament, and the Indonesian MPR and KomnasHAM.
"The President of the Republic has also asked PCTS to send the
Report to the Vatican, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch,
International Center for Transitional Justice and to the CPLP countries,
France, Russia, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Canada and the European
Human Rights Commission', said Rev Vasconselos. "This is being done
separately as these governments and organizations do not have direct
representation in Timor-Leste".
In an accompanying letter, the President of the Republic wrote that he
is providing the Report in line with the recommendations in the Report
"pertaining to the wide distribution of the Report to the
international community". His letter reiterates that "in spite
of being pleased with the work undertaken by CAVR, I do not agree with all
its recommendations, above all, because in the recent years, the
commitment of the international community and some key countries to help
rebuild Timor-Leste and our State based on Rule of Law has been
remarkable, responding beforehand to some of the recommendations just made
by the Commission".
The PCTS is preparing to make the Report available next week to civil
society organizations in Timor-Leste preceding an intensive 6-month
community dissemination program.
