Police Reform – 2005

Once UNMISET’s mandate was completed, a new political mission, the United Nations Office in Timor-Leste (UNOTIL) supported the development of critical State institutions and police training in observance of democratic governance and human rights. UNOTIL was to continue to support the development of critical State institutions by providing up to 45 civilian advisers; to support further development of the police through the provision of up to 40 police advisers; and to bolster the development of the Border Patrol Unit (BPU) by providing up to 35 additional advisers.¹“United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT),” http://www.un.org/en/peacekeeping/missions/past/unmiset/background.html….
