Sri Lanka: Let’s Learn from Timor-Leste

Visit to Dili District Court in Timor-Leste


by Lucille Abeykoon-
( November 2, 2017, Timor-Leste, Sri Lanka Guardian) I was interested to visit a courthouse when I heard that there is a list fixed with time to call up cases in courts in Timor-Leste where we never found such schedules in Sri Lankan court system.
I was given the opportunity to visit the Dili District Court in Timor-Leste on the 11th October 2017 by the Judicial System Monitoring Programme (JSMP) which is a leading non-governmental organisation in Timor-Leste, monitoring the Justice System and engaging in advocacy about legality, transparency, accountability, and strengthening the Rule of Law. I was accompanied by JSMP staff members Ms. Eurosia de Almeda and Mr. Jose Moniz.
