Lecturer Assistant – Legal Training for PDHJ Jurists
UNDP together with OHCHR is engaged in a long term capacity development Project of the Provedoria for Human Rights and Justice. The Provedoria for Human Rights and Justice (PDHJ) is the national human rights institution (NHRI) of Timor-Leste. Its mandate is “to combat corruption and influence peddling, prevent maladministration and protect and promote human rights and fundamental freedoms of natural and legal persons throughout the national territory.” (Article 5, Law 2004/7 on the establishment of the PDHJ). The PDHJ main office is in Dili and regional offices have recently been opened in Oecussie, Baucau, Maliana and Maubisse. Building upon the existing human rights knowledge and skills which have been developed through the implementation of the UNDP-OHCHR Capacity Building Project for the Provedoria (2007-2009), the current Project (2010-2014) continues to strengthen the PDHJ’s human rights mandate, the department of public assistance, the four new PDHJ regional offices and the development of the PDHJ’s legal capacity. The project also provides support to the PDHJ institutional planning and management which is seen as crucial to the effective fulfillment of the human rights mandate. The development of the legal capacity of the PDHJ is based on medium term training, where staff of the newly established legal advisory services of the PDHJ are participating in a 1.5 years full time training programme (1 year general course and half a year specialization course) under the auspices of the Legal Training Centre. The first year of the programme was a joint effort of different State institutions which have specialized legal advisory services, namely the National Parliament, Office of the President, Ministry of Justice and the PDHJ. The second phase of the training is to be undertaken in each institution and the specialization is to reflect the specific institutional mandate. After completing the 1.5 years training, PDHJ national legal advisers will have their gained knowledge and skills completed with a one year mentoring support. | |
