Description
Abstract This article aims to examine the gender jurisprudence of the serious crimes process in Timor-Leste. It focuses on whether the cases arising from the process delivered 'justice' for women and did justice to the experience of women in armed conflict. The article asks what 'justice judgments' the Timorese community have made about the trials; that is, whether the Special Panel's processes were accepted and understood in the general population. This examination sheds some light on the benefits, if any, that the existing framework of international law has provided for women engaged with transitional justice processes. This is judged by reference to the participation of women in the system and to any new international criminal jurisprudence, as well as by whether the process fairly represented the experience of women during the occupation and whether it added any material benefit to their lives in the independence period.
