The Justice System Programme (JSP) of UNDP Timor-Leste was launched in 2003 to develop the institutional and human capacity of the Timorese justice sector. It is one of the longest running programmes of UNDP Timor-Leste, providing the foundations of the institutional establishment from a state of non-existence of a domestic judiciary. The JSP is currently in its Phase IV (‘Consolidating the Democratic Rule of Law and Peace through a strong Justice System in Timor-Leste, 2014-2018’). Today the JSP has a much more targeted programme of assistance which concentrates on access to justice and the development of legal professionals.
