ETAN advocates justice for past rights violations, genuine
self-determination for East Timor, and democratic development of one of
the world�s newest nations. ETAN supports human rights and democracy in
Indonesia. Current projects include advocating for a fair maritime
boundary in the Timor Sea, campaigning for justice for past human rights
crimes, opposing military assistance to Indonesia, and monitoring the
human rights situation in Indonesia, West Papua and Timor-Leste.
What do ETAN
interns do?
ETAN interns actively
assist the movements for
justice in solidarity with the peoples of
Indonesia, West Papua, and Timor-Leste (East Timor).
ETAN interns gain experience, skills and knowledge
in the areas of policy and political advocacy, international politics,
writing, editing,
media, fundraising, and organizing.

the media, other organizations and
grassroots activists; administrative tasks; and monitoring and analyzing news and

internet.
