      Progress Report # 3<BR>Ad Hoc Human Rights Court <BR>Against Gross =
Human=20
      Rights Violations in East Timor<BR>April- September 1999 =
<BR>Foreword=20
      <P>The ad hoc Human Rights Court for East Timor has went on for =
nearly=20
      four months now, since the commencement of the first trial in the =
month of=20
      February 20002. </P>
      <P>At this point, the examination process has begun examining the=20
      witnesses. This process is the continuance right after the =
allegations and=20
      responses, as well as the Preliminary Verdict of the Counsellor ad =
hoc=20
      Human Rights Court panel of judges in further response towards the =

      objections the Counsellor has put forward in connection with the =
case=20
      where court prevails over the case's authority. Therefore, the =
witness=20
      examination process is based on the attempt to obtain information=20
      regarding the legal facts that are involved with the items in the =
charges=20
      in the letter of allegations of the ad hoc General Attorney. This =
effort=20
      is done through questioning the witnesses that come forward to the =
stand.=20
      These questions are given to find the element of crime from the=20
      allegations, in this case, concerning crimes against humanity and =
command=20
      responsibility . It is expected that through the knowledge of the=20
      witnesses of the incident, it can help find the legal facts =
required in=20
      locating the truth in court. </P>
      <P>Therefore, in this phase, the ability of the General Attorney =
to=20
      formulate clearly the elements of crime from the charges that has =
been=20
      formulated to become one important factor. As regulated in the =
regulations=20
      regarding the establishment of proof in the Criminal Conduct, the=20
      witnesses' information will be the main evidence in the court =
process .=20
      There are three important things that will be iterated further in =
this=20
      report: (1) General monitoring throughout the whole process of =
examining=20
      the witnesses for one month, (2) the content of the testimony, and =
(3) The=20
      procedureof examining the witness, which includes the rights of =
the=20
      witness within the court - particularly, in relation with =
witnesses who=20
      are victims. </P>
      <P>1. General Overview</P>
      <P>Until this moment, the court is still in the process of =
examining the=20
      witnesses. Since the initial examination that began in the month =
of=20
      February, there have been at least 31 witnesses (refer to the =
table). </P>
      <P>From all the 31 witnesses, there are only three witnesses who =
are=20
      victims or family members of the victims that could be presented =
in the ad=20
      hoc Human Rights Court on East Timor. This is far from a ideal =
proportion,=20
      keeping in mind how many people have been victimized as charged by =
the=20
      Attorney. The failure of the General Attorney of the Republic of =
Indonesia=20
      to present other witnesses, who are victims, makes the composition =
of the=20
      process of examining witnesses imbalanced to be able to be called =
as a=20
      fair witness process.</P>
      <P>The incapability to produce witnesses who are victims =
proportionally=20
      with other witnesses actually demands the panel of judges =
objectivity to=20
      proceed with the necessary actions required, such as, replacing =
the=20
      presence of the witnesses by reading the witness judicial =
procedure or=20
      even discovering breakthroughs that may improve and aid the =
examination of=20
      the case .</P>
      <P>Asides from that, the larger portion of the witnesses produced =
by the=20
      General Attorney comes from the Indonesian Armed Forces or the =
Police=20
      Department (ABRI / POLRI) that have the tendency to give =
information that=20
      doesn't strengthen the allegations compiled. Observing some of the =

      examinations that are in court are on the contrary to =
strengthening the=20
      General Attorney's charges. First of all, the witnesses hold =
important=20
      positions in the organizational structure of the ABRI / POLRI that =
were=20
      examined in the initial process of the witness examination . =
Meanwhile,=20
      the Counsellor has also produced witnesses that weaken (a =
decharge) the=20
      charges against the defendants. The procedure of the examination =
of the=20
      witnesses in the Ad Hoc Human Rights Court refers to the =
regulations on=20
      establishment of evidence as regulated in the Criminal Code. The=20
      examination of witnesses is regulated in Articles 159-182 Criminal =

      Conduct.</P>
      <P>2. Investigation for the element of crime during the =
examination of the=20
      witnesses </P>
      <P>Keeping in mind the case investigation is based on the judicial =

      procedure as regulated in the Criminal Code, the testimonies play =
a vital=20
      role. Testifying in the court is one of the strongest evidence =
that may=20
      influence the judges' evaluation on the allegations charged on the =

      defendants. By referring to this judicial process, the facts =
brought to=20
      trial will be the main thing that will become the foundation for =
the=20
      judges to make a decision on the case. </P>
      <P>Therefore, the whole process of examining the witness is based =
on the=20
      allegations formulated by the ad hoc attorney. The whole case =
files will=20
      focus the charges on two important things. First, it regards the =
form of=20
      the crimes against humanity (article 7 Act No 26/2000). According =
to the=20
      allegations formulated by the ad hoc General Attorney, it is both =
in the=20
      form of murder and 'assault' (article 9 Act No 26/2000) as a part =
of an=20
      attack that is widespread and systematic (known as an attack) =
targeted to=20
      civilians. Second, related with the command responsibility from =
the=20
      defendants that comes from both the military and civil. The =
defendants=20
      having authority are accountable criminally on the gross human =
rights=20
      violations conducted by one's subordinates. As the superior, the=20
      defendants are charged as incapable to conduct and effective and=20
      appropriate control (article 42 Act No. 26/2000) .</P>
      <P>The process of proving this charge has a few important focuses =
in=20
      relation to the efforts of the ad hoc General Attorney to =
transcend the=20
      element of crime from the crimes against humanity and command=20
      responsibility in the examination of the witness. In the element =
of crimes=20
      against humanity, the biggest challenge lies the establishing the =
evidence=20
      of a systematic and widespread element . Asides from that, the =
attorney=20
      should also be able to differentiate the meaning of murder in the =
context=20
      of crime against humanity and the general meaning of murder as a =
Criminal=20
      Act. In a court of crime, the defendants are usually the person =
who is=20
      accountable in one's position as the direct perpetrator or as an=20
      instigator or an accomplice to the crime . Meanwhile, the crime =
against=20
      humanity decides that actions are generally done individually, but =
can=20
      also be based on a collective action . In this light, there are a =
few=20
      elements that become an important foundation, that is, there is an =

      authorized policy-maker that forms the series of incidents that =
resulted=20
      in an individual act, can be categorized as an understanding of =
crimes=20
      against humanity. </P>
      <P>Asides from this distortion, the translation of the concept =
within the=20
      classification of acts, under the definition of crimes against =
humanity,=20
      specifically involving the translation of "persecution", as =
'assault' in=20
      Act No.26/2000, also creates a new challenge to establish a solid =
evidence=20
      that may not be easy on the judge .</P>
      <P>In relation to command responsibility, the greatest challenge =
faced by=20
      the court is to establish solid evidence against the incapability =
to do an=20
      effective control. Also, the evidence regarding the qualification =
of=20
      disregarding information and taking the necessary appropriate =
actions to=20
      stop the gross human rights violations becomes an important point =
in=20
      investigations. This challenge increases, with the case related to =
command=20
      responsibility; the court is faced with actions not done directly =
by the=20
      nation's apparatus (civil or military), but on the contrary the =
actions=20
      done by the Civil Militia. Particularly, in regard to the chain =
for the=20
      establishment of evidence that direct control between the =
officials=20
      (civil/military) with the civil militia that conducted the direct=20
      violations. Similar difficulties were experienced in the =
establishment of=20
      evidence towards humanity crimes that involve the civil militia in =
the=20
      International Tribunal's case for Yugoslavia and Rwanda .</P>
      <P>The weaknesses in compiling a charge should also be taken into =
account=20
      by considering the mentioned elements: the process of examining =
the=20
      witnesses becomes an important pillar of evidence on the elements =
of crime=20
      in this case. Moreover, keeping in mind the regulations in =
Criminal=20
      Conduct, concerning the examination of witnesses, provides =
recognition on=20
      how important facts are in a court during the examination of a =
witness.=20
      The witness' information that is used as evidence is what the =
witness has=20
      stated in court . </P>
      <P>The process of examining the witness is coloured by the =
revocation of=20
      various important sections of the witnesses' testimony by the =
witnesses=20
      themselves in the BAP (Examination Records). In the case of Herman =
Sedyono=20
      Et.al, almost all the witnesses revoked their earlier testimonies =
as=20
      recorded in the BAP for a few items of significant information, =
such as=20
      the confession of attacks, coordinative meetings between =
government=20
      officials and military officials, the sound of gunshots and the =
formation=20
      of civil security groups, are all revoked during the examination =
in court=20
      . The reasons for revocation begin from acknowledging pressure, or =

      statements in the explanation that were priorly intended as =
personal=20
      opinions, therefore, does not fulfil the qualification as a =
testimony. On=20
      this matter, the panel of judges as well as the General Attorney =
did not=20
      elaborate further during further examinations in the courtroom. In =
the=20
      files of Abilio and Timbul Silaen, the same thing happened. </P>
      <P>The revocation of testimonies are also done on other crucial =
sections=20
      that were related to the testimony that there were =
inter-connections=20
      between the formation of civil security forces with the policy or =
support=20
      from those holding the power of authority in the regional level, =
such as=20
      in technical relations like guidance and trainings. Therefore, in =
the=20
      further examination of the witnesses throughout the month of May, =
the=20
      testimony stating that there had been attacks were almost none. In =
further=20
      developments, the panel of judges including the General Attorney =
also used=20
      the word 'clashes' as an understood substitute for these =
'attacks'. The=20
      usage of the word itself imposes an implication on the fulfilment =
and=20
      evidence of crime in the allegations . </P>
      <P>Another example of the problems found during the examinations =
of Adam=20
      Damiri's witnesses, was that the meaning of militia is stated as=20
      non-existent . Further on, in the same examination, the witnesses =
also=20
      revoked their iterations that stated the Pam Swakarsa was a =
reformation of=20
      the Pro-Integration Defenders . </P>
      <P>In another part, the testimonies throughout the month of May is =
still=20
      coloured with statements that are classified as opinions, and even =

      feelings. This is also imposed in the questions forwarded by the =
panel of=20
      judges themselves to the witnesses. A few questions forwarded by =
the=20
      General Attorney or Counsellor does not wholly direct to =
testimonials in=20
      the form of legal facts concerning the incidents. In the =
examination of=20
      Adam Damiri, there were even questions asking the witnesses =
judgements of=20
      the decisions made by the Goevernor of East Timor, Ailio, in =
handling the=20
      security:<BR>=85<BR>Q: Accordint to your knowledge, it exists. So, =
within=20
      the clash that was charged by attorney, the governor was involved. =
Do you=20
      think the Governor has no role whatsoever, and that this Governor =
always=20
      puts a lot of efforts? <BR>A: He did.<BR>Q: Was his effort =
maximum? <BR>A:=20
      It was.<BR>Q: To solve the problem?<BR>A: Yes.<BR>Q: Thank you! =
Sir,=20
      General.</P>
      <P>The defendant's legal counsellor mainly forwards these =
questions. There=20
      is an abundant of questions that are personal by nature, asking =
the=20
      witness for their judgement on the incident, and not to confirm =
and=20
      validate the occurrence of the incident itself. There are other =
questions=20
      that often appear that is a confirmation by nature and =
dichotomised, as in=20
      yes-no answers, that is also leading the witnesses. This is =
particularly,=20
      in relation with the background found in the Note of Objection on =
the=20
      procedure of the trial and the allegations of the attorney . </P>
      <P>The panel of judges in several examinations of the witnesses =
did=20
      similar things as demonstrated in the examination of Emilio =
Bareto, a=20
      witness who was a victim for the Timbul Silaen case file, as seen =
below:=20
      <BR>=85<BR>Judge : You feel secure, right. Although like that, =
then suddenly=20
      an attack came. Seeing that, do you feel any disappointment on the =

      security outside?<BR>Witness : Disappointed<BR>=85.<BR>Panel of =
judges: By=20
      saying disappointed, why are you disappointed? <BR>Witness: =
Because the=20
      condition could not be handled<BR>=85.<BR>Panel of Judges: With =
the militia,=20
      like that. How are you disappointed? Are you very disappointed, a =
little=20
      disappointed, or, how were you? <BR>Witness : A little =
disappointed=20
      because I was one of the victims there. </P>
      <P>Even in relation with a witness who was a victim, the questions =
from=20
      the legal counsellor are questions that trap the witness. During a =

      witness' examination: </P>
      <P>=85..Beloved Madam, I beg for your honesty. Fatimah worked =
after you=20
      became a witness or before you became a witness? You don't need to =
look at=20
      the foreigner on your right, I know he was guiding you all along; =
you=20
      don't have to look at him. Look at me. If you have to look at the =
judge,=20
      just listen you don't have to look at my face. Madam, look at the =
judge=20
      only. Please Madam, look there. You're like being taught! My =
beloved=20
      Madam, Madam, Fatimah works after you became a witness or before =
you=20
      became a witness? (The witness did not answer) Thank you Madam, if =
you=20
      don't want to answer, I don't want to force you. But, from your =
bottom of=20
      your heart, my beloved madam, were your daughters raped or wanted =
to be=20
      raped? Madam, please answer, madam, raped or wanted to be =
raped?</P>
      <P>Asides from this, during the examination of several other =
witnesses,=20
      the questions forwarded by the General Attorney were actually out =
of the=20
      context of the case and tend to show contempt towards the court, =
thus=20
      resulting in a strong reaction from the panel of judges. </P>
      <P>Counsellor: "=85 in the Soya village there was a riot. Now, say =
the=20
      Republic of Indonesia Police and the Army secured it; will it =
later be=20
      brought to court? With the witness' knowledge will the attorney =
and the=20
      Human Right Defenders secure the riots in Indonesia, so that he =
will not=20
      be brought to the Human Rights Court? <BR>The panel of judges: =
(knocking=20
      the mike) You do not have to answer it, it was only an opinion. =
<BR>(and=20
      still answered by the witness). <BR>Counsellor: "=85.the hostaging =
of Suai's=20
      Danramil by Falintil, because it is an act of law, and during that =
time in=20
      the province of East Timor, does the witness know? Were they =
brought to a=20
      Human Rights Court?<BR>Witness: No.<BR>Counsellor: So, if a=20
      pro-independence group does a violation of Human Rights, the case =
is not=20
      brought trial, but the others are. </P>
      <P>3. Witness Examination Procedure:</P>
      <P>Based on the observation in the judicial process, particularly =
in the=20
      phase of examining the witnesses, there are a few particular =
points,=20
      especially related with victims who become witnesses. There are =
three=20
      important things related with the procedure of examining the =
witnesses=20
      that covers: (1) guarantee of security, (2) the witnesses' rights =
during=20
      the trial, (3) the schedule of the trials. </P>
      <P>3.1. Regarding the Witnesses' Security</P>
      <P>Until the 31st of April 2002, there are only three witnesses =
who are=20
      either a victim or the family member of a victim who had testified =
in=20
      court, produced by the General Attorney. Each of them are: =
Dominggas dos=20
      Santos Muzinho (for the Herman Sedyono, Et.al. case), Joao =
Perreira and=20
      Emilio Bareto (for the case of Timbul Silaen) .</P>
      <P>There are three witnesses who are victims, or family members of =
the=20
      victim who cancelled their appearance. They are Armendo de Deus =
Granan=20
      Deiro, Frez da Costa, and Tobias dos Santos (all for the case of =
Herman=20
      Sedyono, Et.al). According to the District Attorney RDTL, =
Longhuinos=20
      Monteiro, the absences of these witnesses are because there is no =
security=20
      guarantee for the witnesses .</P>
      <P>The Head of the Legal Information of Kejagung RI, Barman Zahir =
SH, in=20
      his press conference on the 5th of June 2002, considers Monteiro's =
reasons=20
      are unfounded, because the government of Indonesia has =
specifically=20
      guaranteed their safety, not only in the courtroom, but also at =
their=20
      accommodation and transportation.</P>
      <P>Other than physical protection, the principles regarding a fair =
justice=20
      and the requirement of psychological protection is needed. Article =
34=20
      verse 1 Act. No. 26/2000, states that: "Every victim and witness =
within=20
      the gross Human Rights Violations have the right to all physical =
and=20
      mental protection from threats, disturbance, terror, and other =
violence=20
      from any other parties." Unfortunately, the government's =
regulations no.=20
      2/2002, determining the Witness and Victims Protection is not =
equipped=20
      with the regulations regarding strict safety procedures. </P>
      <P>Indeed, physical attacks as well as direct threats has not =
happened=20
      yet, or experienced by any of the victims who are willing to give =
their=20
      testimony. Even so, the witnesses will have difficulties in =
providing=20
      their testimony freely, if the visitors in the courtroom are =
allowed to=20
      scream and ridicule, while outside the courtroom there are groups =
that=20
      continuously demonstrating. The Indonesian Armed Forces Commander =
and a=20
      series of elite leaders initially attended the trial for gross =
Human=20
      Rights Violations in East Timor. Then, in every trial, there are =
always=20
      pro-integration groups and visitors that either cheer or ridicule =
the=20
      witness. Such a condition can be categorized as a form of =
pressure. These=20
      conditions should have been called to order by the court =
authorities.=20
      There should be a real effort from the authority of the courtroom =
to=20
      provide peace during the justice process. </P>
      <P>Other problems related with this security are the questions the =
Legal=20
      Counsellor puts forward that tend to corner the witness and threat =
is=20
      implicated. In such events, the panel of judges have warned the =
legal=20
      counsellor several times. In one of the examinations, even the =
witness can=20
      perceptibly seen to be tensed and depressed, unwilling to face the =
legal=20
      counsellor . Furthermore, even unwilling to answer the greater =
part of a=20
      question that comes from one of the legal advisors, while other =
questions=20
      coming from different counsellors can be answered flawlessly. </P>
      <P>Other than the security problem of the witnesses, there is =
another=20
      difficult problem of transporting victims or family members of =
victims to=20
      come and testify, as funds were not available. The Human Rights =
Court is=20
      not equipped with funding support to perform this procedure, while =
the UN,=20
      through UNMISET (United Nations Mission of Support in East Timor) =
could=20
      not provide any funds as it may be a precedent for cases in the =
future.=20
      </P>
      <P>Also, there have been no clear extradicting agreements between =
the=20
      overnment of Indonesia and East Timor. Throughout the process in =
relation,=20
      extradicting is done through a memorandum of understanding (MOU) =
between=20
      the Foreign Department of the republic of Indonesia and UNTAET. =
Presently,=20
      East timor is no longer in the hands of UNTAET, but has formed =
their own=20
      government with the support of the UN through UNMISET, and there =
are no=20
      longer any explanations regarding the authority handover of the=20
      extradicting problem from UNTAET, based on the MOU mentioned to =
the=20
      government of East Timor as well as UNMISET. </P>
      <P>3.2. The right to an interpreter</P>
      <P>In the trial on 28th May 2002, for the case of Herman Sedyono, =
Et.Al,=20
      the witness Dominggas dos Santos Mauzinho was called to the stand. =
Towards=20
      this witness, the General Attorney informed that the witness could =
not=20
      really speak the Indonesian language very well, so an interpreter =
of the=20
      language Tetun, from East Timor was provided. </P>
      <P>The panel of judges headed by Cicut Sutiarso refused the =
interpreter=20
      provided with a reason that there are no letters accompanying this =

      interpreter and the certificate for an interpreter. The panel of =
judges=20
      finally decided to use the Indonesian Language and the interpreter =
is used=20
      only when it's necessary, without a clear criteria or limitations=20
      regarding the scale of necessity. </P>
      <P>Until the end of the examination of that witness, the language =
used was=20
      the Indonesian Language. This causes the witness to stumble over =
his words=20
      and speak unclearly when questioned with a speedy intonation and=20
      unfamiliar terms. Therefore, the judges, Attorney General and the =
Legal=20
      Counsellor had to repeat the questions often. The witness himself, =
in most=20
      opportunities was finally conditioned to answer only yes-no =
questions due=20
      to the limitation in language. This condition automatically =
reduces the=20
      exploratory depth of the witness'. </P>
      <P>The reason behind the panel of judges rejection of the =
assistance of an=20
      interpreter, was not very appropriate, keeping in mind that Tetun =
is a=20
      language not normally used as a standard language for =
communication in=20
      international relationships. Therefore, the requirements for a =
certified=20
      interpreter could not be fulfilled. On the contrary, the right of =
a person=20
      to be assisted by an interpreter when one is not able to =
understand or=20
      speak in a language used in a courtroom is one of the guarantees =
of a fair=20
      trial, as noted in article 14 verse 3 (f) ICCPR (International =
Covenant=20
      for Civil and Political Rights) . Asides from this, in the =
regulations=20
      concerning witnesses, according to the Criminal Conduct article =
177, the=20
      panel of judges may appoint an interpreter if the witness or =
defendant do=20
      not understand the Indonesian language. </P>
      <P>3.3. Court Calendar</P>
      <P>In the trial on 29th may 2002, in the case of Herman Sedyono, =
Et.al,=20
      the panel of judges headed by Cicut Sutiarso gave an ultimatum to =
the=20
      Attorney General to produce all his witnesses who were victims =
that are=20
      able to come to end the process of examination in one week's time. =
</P>
      <P>The judge's order is a consequence of article 31 Act no. 26 of =
2000=20
      that states that the case for gross human rights violations is =
limited for=20
      a maximum of 180 days, to be examined, and settled by the Human =
Rights=20
      Court since the case was brought to trial. The order of the panel =
of=20
      judges will bring about another bout of consequences that is the=20
      "contradiction" of the principle of justice and the principle of =
absolute=20
      law. </P>
      <P>Seeing the difficulty of the Attorney general in producing his=20
      witnesses, there is a great chance that all the necessary =
witnesses who=20
      are victims are most likely not able to be examined in one week. =
This=20
      results in a very unbproportional composition of witnesses. And a =
fair=20
      judicial system will most likely not happen. </P>
      <P>In the meanwhile, if for the sake of the principle of =
proportionality=20
      of witnesses in court is to be fulfilled, a long range of time is =
needed=20
      for the Attorney general to produce all the witnesses to testify, =
and=20
      thus, for all the witnesses of the defendant later on. Therefore, =
the=20
      process of the court will take a longer time. And if within 180 =
days since=20
      the case is brought to trial, and the panel of judges does not =
make a=20
      decision, then it is not impossible for the trial to be cancelled =
"in the=20
      name of law". </P>
      <P>However, particularly for the case of Herman Sedyono, Et.al, =
the panel=20
      of judges are still giving one more chance for the Attorney =
General to=20
      produce witnesses who are victims, even if the court calender made =
by the=20
      judge has been exceeded. </P>
