MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT Komunikado iha: 1 Setembru 2009

TIMOR-LESTE GOVERNMENT INCREASES TIME FOR PUBLIC CONSULTATION ON DRAFT LAND LAW

On September 1 2009 the Minister for Justice, Lucia Lobato, officially confirmed her intention to extend the deadline for public consultation on the Draft Land Law, which was released to the public on 12 June 2009. Minister Lobato advised that is extending the consultation time until November 2009 to give sufficient time to allow people in Timor-Leste’s 13 districts to be consulted about the draft law.

The Ministry of Justice will now receive submissions on the draft Law until the 1st of November 2009. After this date, the Land Law working committee will review the draft law in light of the suggestions and comments gathered during the popular consultation. During the month of November the Ministry will publish the revised draft law and continue discussions with stakeholders in order to prepare a final draft.

During her visits to launch the land law consultation in 12 of Timor-Leste’s districts, the Minister received repeated suggestions to extend the consultation time and to broaden the popular consultation to reach more of the rural population, many of whom suffer from land conflicts that have not yet been resolved. -Ends.
