      <P>Jakarta, 12 November 2002</P>
      <P>Introduction: Eurico Guteres' Position in the Crime Against =
Humanity in=20
      East Timor </P>
      <P>There is no doubt that the chain of events before and after the =

      referendum in East Timor is a crime. The crime was in form of =
terror,=20
      manslaughter, abduction until it reached the peak in form of.=20
      extermination, along with the migration of hundreds of thousand =
refugees.=20
      All the defendants in the Human Right Ad Hoc Court are individuals =

      suspected of having executed, sponsored or facilitated the chain =
of=20
      crimes. Those acts of crime in Indonesian system of positive law =
are=20
      quantified as crime against humanity.</P>
      <P>In order to substantiate that the crime against humanity exited =
and=20
      occurred, Eurico Gutteres has been standing on trial. As the Vice=20
      Commander of Pasukan Pejuang Integrasi (Pro-Integration Troop) he =
adopted=20
      a very important role in East Timor's field condition pre and post =

      referendum. It can even been said that Eurico Gutteres was the =
icon of the=20
      chain of violence along with his Aitarak militia throughout the =
referendum=20
      process. Almost everyone in East Timor at the time, especially in =
Dili,=20
      knew that Eurico was free in doing his activities due to the space =
and=20
      freedom provided by the security apparatus. Eurico, with the =
Aitarak=20
      militia, was free to mobilise other militias from Liwuisa up to =
Suai,=20
      Meliana to Los Palos and equip them with TNI/Police standard or =
generic=20
      weapons. </P>
      <P>Bearing in mind all the incidents East Timor pre and post =
Referendum=20
      and the actions taken by the militia units united in Pasukan =
Pejuang=20
      Integrasi, thus the trial process of Eurico Gutteres is very =
important and=20
      critical in understanding and mapping the most accountable =
parties. </P>
      <P>Throughout pre and post Referendum armed civilian groups and=20
      paramilitary engaged in activities hand in hand with small units =
of TNI.=20
      Trained Citizens (Ratih) were deemed to be a part of Indonesia's =
civilian=20
      defence in East Timor. They were recruited under the jurisdiction =
of the=20
      Department of Domestic Affairs, but trained and operated by the =
local TNI=20
      units At the same time emerged other groups known as perlawanan =
rakyat=20
      (people's struggle) and keamanan rakyat (people's security). The=20
      establishment of armed militias was initiated by the founding of =
Gadapaksa=20
      in mid 1990's. </P>
      <P>At the end of 1998, "incidentally" at the same time with the =
increase=20
      of political tension in the effort of finding solution to the East =
Timor=20
      problem in international forum, several paramilitary groups more =
militant=20
      in nature were established. Along with the militia groups =
previously=20
      existed, these militia groups were allegedly engaged in =
intimidating=20
      people, marching into houses and searching them and even =
committing sexual=20
      violence and murder. All these actions were directed specifically =
to=20
      members of the society whom they suspected as adopting the=20
      pro-independence stance. Their role became more pronounced before, =
during=20
      and after the referendum. </P>
      <P>The previous elaboration is ample evidence of the close =
relation,=20
      structurally and operationally, between the pro-integration armed =
militia=20
      with Indonesia's security apparatus, especially TNI, which =
theoretically=20
      fits the thesis of TNI's "complete and effective control" upon the =

      military operation in East Timor which involved the militia. </P>
      <P>Eurico should have been positioned at that context in his trial =
at the=20
      Human Right Ad Hoc Court. In reality, however, throughout the=20
      substantiation process both the prosecutor and the counsellor have =
been=20
      positioning Eurico (and his civilian militia) outside the context =
of=20
      military operation and the "complete control" of TNI. This implies =
denial=20
      upon the notion that Eurico has been executing criminal actions =
within the=20
      knowledge of and supported by TNI as Indonesia's security =
apparatus,=20
      whereas this notion is what makes the case as fitting to be tried =
by the=20
      ad hoc human right court. Should Eurico's position is unhinged =
from TNI's,=20
      he should have been tried as a common criminal and not as a =
perpetrator in=20
      the context of crime against humanity. </P>
      <P>Judging from the whole process of Eurico's trial thus far, it =
is=20
      apparent that there is a lack of seriousness in the chain of =
construction=20
      indicted upon him. This is so because throughout the process of =
the trial,=20
      it is as if Eurico was acting upon his personal will with no =
relation=20
      whatsoever with the various security apparatus operation and the =
political=20
      ambition planned in Jakarta and Dili at the time. This statement =
is not=20
      meant to imply that Eurico as an individual is an innocent party =
in his=20
      various criminal actions that he had executed in the name of =
integration=20
      with Indonesia. Eurico should still be maximally accounted for all =
the=20
      crimes indicted upon him. </P>
      <P>Assessment on the Requisatoir (Criminal Charges) of Eurico =
Guteres</P>
      <P>On Thursday, 31 October 2002, the requisatoir for Eurico =
Guteres' case=20
      was issued by the Prosecutor (Muhammad Yusuf and Dien Murdinah) =
after 5=20
      months of trial. It is also the first charges amongst the 9 case =
dossiers=20
      of the second phase trials in the ad hoc human right court for =
East Timor=20
      which has taken place in the Central Jakarta Court. Thus there =
would be=20
      several points of assessment that are crucial to be responded.</P>
      <P>=B7 Legal Facts on Witness Examination</P>
      <P>In the charges , the prosecutor clearly stated that: There have =
been=20
      nineteen (19) witnesses examined which consist of: 18 A Charge =
witnesses,=20
      consisting of 11 persons providing direct testimony and 7 persons =
whose=20
      statements in the Investigation Note (BAP) were read out and out =
of these=20
      7 witnesses 5 of whose statements were read out were under oath =
and 1 a de=20

belief.=20

      <P>The assumption that the 18 witnesses (11 were cross-examined =
and 7 had=20
      their statements read out) were giving out testimonies against the =

      defendant (a charge) is by far too optimist of a notion. Saying =
that those=20
      18 were witnesses summoned by the prosecutor in hope for them to =
fortify=20
      the indictment would be more correct. The statement saying that =
these 18=20
      witnesses have been giving testimonies against the defendant =
should be=20
      re-clarified.</P>
      <P>According to the result of the monitoring, indeed the 18 have =
given out=20

which in=20
      fact were the 5 witnesses whose statements were read out upon the =

      <P><BR>=B7 Balance of Witness Composition </P>
      <P>It should be also noted that the comparison between the amount =
of=20
      witnesses proposed by the prosecutor and the counsellor is very=20
      unbalanced. The prosecutor presented 18witnesses, whereas the =
defence=20
      presented only one, namely: MARCELINO MARTIN XIMENES. This is a =
very=20
      important fact, which should have raised the question on why the =
defence=20
      only presented one witness. The judges should have paid attention =
to this=20
      fact, because if the process of witness cross-examination runs =
unbalanced=20
      then it might be an indication that the trial of that particular =
case=20
      fails to uphold fair trial principles. Whereas a defendant in a =
criminal=20
      case is entitled to "examine or, be examined, the witnesses =
against=20
      him/her and present and examine the witnesses on his/her behalf =
with the=20
      same conditions applied to witnesses testifying against him/her." =
. </P>
      <P>The lack of a de charge witness who could be presented was due =
to=20
      several factors, namely: first, most of the prospective witnesses =
lived in=20
      Attambua so it was hard to bring them forth. Second, the lack of =
financial=20
      resources of the defendant and his team of counsellor to cover the =

      expenses for presenting the a de charge witnesses . Responding to =
the=20
      difficulty of the defence in bringing forth the a decharge =
witnesses, the=20
      Chief Judge of the panel that is processing the Eurico Gutteres =
dossier,=20
      Herman Keller Hutapea stated that it was the interest of the =
defendant and=20
      the panel of Judges had provided the opportunity to the team of=20
      counsellor, but since the defence had gone over the limit of time =
given=20
      thus the panel of judges were compelled to enforce the limit. . =
</P>
      <P>=B7 The Charges issued by the Prosecutor reaffirms the =
assumption that=20
      what happened in East Timor merely clashes between civilians with =
no=20
      relation to the military.</P>
      <P>The assumption upheld in the trials of ad hoc human rights =
court for=20
      East Timor upon the post referendum incidents is that their =
background of=20
      these occurrences was the enmity between the pro-independence and=20
      pro-integration group. This is so because the whole exploration =
process in=20
      examining testimonies has always been directed to that direction =
with no=20
      significant effort to link it with the policy of military/TNI at =
the=20
      time.</P>
      <P>Even in the charges against Eurico Guterres the prosecutor in =
its=20
      elaboration still affirms this scenario. For example, the =
prosecutor=20
      explains that it is true that in early 1999 the general situation =
of Dili=20
      was tensed, even more so due to the establishment of =
pro-independence and=20
      pro-integration groups. This situation frequently lead to physical =

      clashes, especially in the areas near Dili such as Maubara, =
Liquica,=20
      Turiscai, Alas and Ainaro. This statement is reaffirmed by various =

      testimonies, such as from Soedjarwo , Abelio Soares .</P>
      <P>=B7 The charges against Eurico should have been upon the ground =
of=20
      commission</P>
      <P>The charges against Eurico Guterres in the indictment dossier =
of the=20
      prosecutor stated that the defendant has allegedly violated =
article 42=20
      verse (2) a and b. This article essentially elaborated that the =
defendant=20
      is guilty of letting the occurrence of crimes against humanity by =
his/her=20
      inferiors in the context of civilian commando. Thus the charges =
reinforced=20
      that the defendant has committed crime by omission, not by =
ordering or=20
      executing the action of crime. The prosecutor's reasoning in =
implementing=20
      the ground of omission is a weakness of its own , because the =
defendant=20
      should have been charged on grounds of crime by commission. </P>
      <P>Elsam's earlier criticism and hypothesis that the prosecutor =
should=20
      have built the indictment on grounds of crime by commission is =
proven in=20
      the charges. In the prosecutor's elaboration in the Requisatoir =
against=20
      Eurico Guterres, it is found that many of the prosecutor's =
explanations=20
      and explorations of the testimonies given are bent upon the =
direction that=20
      Eurico Guterres has been guilty of crime by commission.</P>
      <P>In the charges the prosecutor admitted and elaborated that: =
accordingly=20
      to the testimony of Basilio enforced by the explanation of the =
defendant,=20
      even according to the testimony of Manuel V Carascalao, Santiago =
dos=20
      Santos , and Maria C Carrascalao the defendant in addressing the =
rally had=20
      spoken the words " the family of Imanuel Viegas Carrascalao should =
be=20
      exterminated" or the prosecutor in its charges has stated that: =
based on=20
      the testimony of Leandro Isac the defendant even lead the rally on =

      motorcycle just before the attack of refugees who were taking =
shelter at=20
      the residence of Manuel Carascalao. </P>
      <P>=B7 Minimal Criminal Charges</P>
      <P><BR>The criminal charges of the prosecutor against Eurico =
Guterres=20
      stated that Eurico Guteres is legally and convincingly proven =
according to=20
      the Law of being guilty of gross violation of human rights as =
contained in=20

26 year=20
      2000. The charges demand for 10 years of imprisonment.</P>
      <P>The criminal charges on Eurico by the prosecutor can be =
regarded as a=20
      minimal charge because article 9 point a of Law No 26 year 2000 =
stipulates=20
      that the maximum penalty is 25 years and the minimal is 10. =
Whereas=20
      article 9 point h of Law No 26 year 2000 stipulates that the =
maximum=20
      criminal penalty is 20 years and the minimal is 10. In the charges =
Eurico=20
      clearly has legally and convincingly been proven of having =
violated the=20
      provisions. We consider the proposed penalty is contradicting the =
earlier=20
      elaboration of the prosecutor, so we assumed that the proposed =
penalty was=20
      pre-prepared at the initial stages of the court, originating from =
the plan=20
      of indictment (rentut) of the General Attorney.</P>
      <P>Summary<BR>Observing the trial process of Eurico Gutteres as =
the=20
      defendant until the stage of charges and comparing it with the =
other case=20
      dossiers, there are several points that should be noted:</P>
      <P>- In the statement of charges there is an improvement on the=20
      prosecutor's side, namely by referring to the practices of =
international=20
      law upon similar typology with Eurico Gutteres' case. However, the =

      prosecutor still committed the same mistakes as in the three =
dossiers that=20
      have been decided upon by the judges</P>
      <P>o First, the elaboration in the charges is so "confident", but =
with=20
      unbalanced whereas the proposed penalty. Eurico is charged with =
the=20
      minimal penalty of 10 years of imprisonment. <BR>o Seconf, the =
charges=20
      with the ground of omission, whereas in the substation process and =
witness=20
      cross-examination the prosecutor directed its efforts to prove =
that Eurico=20
      has committed crime by commission. This is unavoidable because =
even from=20
      the initial steps of the trial Eurico's indictment should have =
been=20
      positioned on grounds of by commission. <BR>o Third, the =
prosecutor's lack=20
      of ability in translating "command responsibility" in the Eurico =
Gutteres'=20
      dossier. the prosecutor is often trapped in the ambiguity of =
structural=20
      command responsibility and the field command responsibility. This =
has very=20
      fatal consequences: if what is meant is field command =
responsibility, the=20
      indictment of Eurico should have been grounded on crime by =
commission,=20
      whereas if what is meant is the structural command responsibility=20
      (assuming that the hierarchical relation between TNI and =
pro-integration=20
      militia is proven), thus Eurico's position as the Vice Commander =
of PPPI=20
      is questionable, why not Joao Tavares, the commander of PPPI =
himself,=20
      stands on trial?</P>
      <P>- Compared to the charges of the defendant from the military =
circle,=20
      the defence for Eurico seemed to be not maximal. This is evident =
from the=20
      unbalanced composition of a decharge witness if compared to the a =
charge=20
      witness (1:10). Aside from that, the witnesses from TNI gave =
testimonies=20
      that are insignificant to the indictment. A third of the =
testimonies=20
      constituted of "mere" reading out the testimonies contained in the =

      investigation note (BAP).</P>
      <P>- By using article 42(2) on civilian command responsibility =
against=20
      Eurico Guteres, the prosecutor should have proven that his militia =

      organisation was a "powerful" one operationally , with clear =
formal=20
      hierarchy, especially in decision making, funding and in relating =
with=20
      other armed militias in East Timor. Only if that is proven the =
"effective=20
      control" can be regarded as existing. </P>
      <P>- The failure in positioning Eurico "appropriately" and the =
lack of=20
      testimony from the military circle in the trial process, as well =
as the=20
      absence of the military high officials who were summoned by either =

      prosecutor and defence gave the impression of Eurico being used as =
the=20
      scape goat of the military officials in this ad hoc court.</P>
