Development of Human Rights Education and Research at the National University of Timor-Leste (2019-2022)

Abstract

In 2019 the GC was entrusted by the EU to lead the new capacity-building project to set up human rights education at the National University of Timor-Leste in Dili. The action contributed to the promotion of human rights, democracy and sustainable development in Asia's youngest nation by establishing a Human Rights Centre aimed to engage in academic training, international networking and research activities. The project was implemented together with the Global Campus Asia-Pacific Programme and in coordination with the EU Delegation in Timor-Leste. Through testimonies and data, this booklet presents the result of the project.
