    Workshop: Traditional Justice in East Timor

    Workshop Announcement: Traditional Justice in East Timor The Asia Foundation in Dili, East Timor, is preparing to conduct a study of traditional dispute resolution and justice in East Timor in connection with a major program of legal development called ''Access to Justice'' supported by USAID.

    We intend to launch the study with an international workshop on June 27 and 28, 2003. The workshop themes are the following:

    1. What is known of traditional dispute resolution, justice and traditional law in East Timor and where are the major gaps in knowledge?

    2. What progress has been made in East Timor to document vernacular narratives or recitations that relate to dispute resolution, conflict settlement, mediation and traditional justice?

    We would like to invite scholars to make a presentation on their work, or work in progress relevant to workshop themes. These presentations on recent research findings and successful methodologies will inform and guide subsequent research efforts on dispute resolution and traditional justice.

    If you are selected to give a presentation at the workshop, we will be able to assist you with the costs of participating in the event in Dili.

    Please contact us by email at your earliest convenience to indicate the presentation you might make at the workshop.
