The present document of Amnesty International concern observations and recommendations to East Timor. In order to fulfil its responsibility to promote, protect and fulfil those rights, Amnesty International recommends that UNTAET draws up a national human rights action plan through which it can identify steps it must take including the adoption of legislative and other measures. The recommendations contained in this document aim to contribute to the development of a human rights-based framework by UNTAET and a new state based on a culture of human rights. Amnesty International urges UNTAET to ensure that separate Codes of Ethics for judges, prosecutors and lawyers are developed and that they are consistent with relevant UN standards, notably the Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers.
