Klappentext zu „Rethinking Human Rights and Peace in Post-Independence Timor-Leste Through Local Perspectives “
This book offers perspectives from the ground on human rights and peace in Timor-Leste. By highlighting the local voices, this book draws on their experience and expertise in engaging with questions concerning the nexus between human rights, peace and development. It posits that these concepts no longer mean absence of conflict, and argues that sustainable peace must be built from rights frameworks to protect the locals' interests in the processes. Acknowledging the lack of autonomy on local actors in peace-making contexts, the book emphasizes the urgent need to facilitate the creation of political and social structures that can support and offer contextual rights and dignity for the Timorese community.

Pressezitat
"The chapters together provide further evidence of the continuing importance of the past in the shaping of the nation, a theme that has been the basis for many books about Timor-Leste's independence. ... The book's density and specificity of content will make it appealing to Timor-focused scholars and those interested in regional perspectives on human rights." (Amy Rothschild and Angie Bexley, The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology, March 23, 2022)
