PDHJ, Human Rights Investigation Mentor, Deadline August 21, 2009.

TERMS OF REFERENCE

Human Rights Investigation Mentor

General Information

Project: Human Rights Capacity building of the Provedoria for Human Rights and Justice (PDHJ)

Title: Investigation Mentor

Location: Ombudsman for Human Rights and Justice, Timor-Leste (Dili)

Start Date and Duration: September 2009 – for 5 months

Contract Type: Special Service Agreement (SSA)

The Provedoria for Human Rights and Justice: Timor-Leste National Human Rights Institution

The PDHJ was established through the National Parliament’s Law No. 7/2004 in compliance with the 2002 Constitution of the Democratic Republic of East-Timor stipulating the establishment of an ‘’an independent organ in charge of examining and seeking to settle citizens’ complaints against public bodies, preventing and initiating the whole process to remedy injustice”. The PDHJ is an independent national human rights institution which has a mandate to cover human rights, good governance / maladministration and anti-corruption matters.

The Provedor was elected by Parliament in March 2005. He was sworn in by Parliament in June 2005 and the PDHJ started effectively functioning in March 2006.

Functions and Powers

The nature of the PDHJ’s operations is set out in Article 5 of the establishing statute, according to which the Office shall operate as an independent statutory body and shall not be subject to the direction, control or influence of any person or authority and have the power to review complaints, conduct investigations and forward to the competent organs the recommendations deemed appropriate to prevent or redress illegality or injustice.

The purpose of the PDHJ is protect and promote human rights and fundamental freedoms of natural and legal persons throughout the national territory and prevent maladministration and to combat corruption and influence peddling[1]. The PDHJ serves therefore three different but linked mandates, namely as the NHRI of Timor-Leste, the Ombudsman and the Anti-Corruption Institution. It discharges its legislative mandate and objectives through a one-head elected chief - Ombudsman - which is supported by two appointed Deputies and institutional staff. Within its three areas, it discharges its mandate within a three activities-approach: education and promotion, prevention or monitoring and investigation (based on complaints or based on its own initiative).

The PDHJ has a broad human rights mandate. It deals with cases of human rights violations, complaints, education and promotion, monitoring and generally integrating human rights into legislation and practices of Timor-Leste. The competencies, powers and duties of the Provedor are set out in Chapter IV of the Statute. The PDHJ has the powers to receive complaints; investigate and inquire into matters under his or her competence; decide not to take any further action on, or dismiss, complaints brought before him/her; compel witnesses; have access to any facilities, premises, documents, equipment, goods or information for inspection and interrogate any person to whom the complaint relates somehow; to visit any place of detention, treatment or care in order to inspect the conditions therein and conduct a confidential interview of the persons in detention; to refer a complaint to a competent jurisdiction or another recourse mechanism; seek leave of the National Parliament to appear before a court, arbitration tribunal or an administrative enquiry commission; act as a mediator or conciliator; make recommendations for redress in complaints brought before him or her, notably by proposing remedies and reparations; provide advice including opinions, proposals and recommendations for the purpose of improving respect for human rights and good governance by the entities within his or her jurisdiction; report to the National Parliament in relation to the findings of an investigation or in relation to his or her recommendations.

Around 60% of total complaints made to the PDHJ relate to its human rights mandate. Since 2005, the PDHJ has received 213 complaints on human rights violation allegations.[2] Out of the 213 complaints, 88 cases were open for investigation. The vast majority – around 75% - of cases of human rights violations being investigated relate to excessive use of force by security forces (police and military). The remaining cases relate to right to demonstration, discrimination, right to freedom of expression and freedom of opinion and religion.

Structure

PDHJ’s structure is currently based on its three areas of intervention: Anti-Corruption Division[3], Good Governance Division and Human Rights Division. Each of these units is operationally independent, and each has their own staff under the supervision of a Division Director. In addition there is a Public Assistance Division, which manages complaints, and an Administration and Finance Division. In September 2007, the PDHJ established a temporary voluntary advisory council in order to ensure greater pluralism and representation.

Four regional offices have been recently established in the first semester of 2009. .

Current Government plans on establishing an Anti-Corruption Commission has lead to discussions on the possible exclusion of PDHJ’s mandate in the area of anti-corruption.

Status of compliance with the Paris Principles

The PDHJ has become a member of the Asia Pacific Forum of NHRIs in 2006. In 2008, PDHJ was accredited to APF. The PDHJ has recently been granted accreditation to the International Coordinating Committee of NHRIs (ICC) in 2008.

UNDP/OHCHR Human Rights Capacity Building Project

UNDP, with OHCHR and the PDHJ as partners, has established a project that will support institutional capacity building of the PDHJ to ensure its effectiveness in developing and implementing programmes in accordance with its mandate. The project is a comprehensive and long-term capacity building effort, extending support to both substantive/technical and operational functions of the PDHJ. Project activities are carried out in close coordination with all stakeholders to the project, under the guidance of the Project Steering Committee.

Capacity building activities, which include training, mentoring, study tours, development of materials and internal system, are long-term and integrated into daily tasks of the PDHJ. Based on current capacity needs, PDHJ has requested that mentors be stationed with key departments so as to provide daily assistance to relevant staff and activities.

During the first semester of 2009, UNDP entered into an agreement with a civilian police oversight institution for the secondment of an investigator to provide mentoring support to the investigation department. The focus of the mentoring support during the first semester was to strengthen case management skills and to improve investigation skills (including analysis and reporting) especially in cases related to alleged excessive use of force by security forces. For the second semester, the Project and PDHJ have identified the need to focus on outsdanding capacity gaps as per investigation capacity development progress reports and assessments, including the provision of specific mentoring support on analysis of application of specific human rights standards.
