Jose Moniz

Jose Maria is the outreach coordinator at JSMP, representing the organisation in formal and informal meetings and on television and radio. He facilitates training for community leaders and students on access to justice. Following the referendum Jose Maria has had experience in advocacy having been involved in the Commission Truth and Friendship, the draft law on reparation, the memorial institute and the signing and ratifying of the Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. Jose Maria is hoping to increase his knowledge on international mechanisms in order to be more effective in protecting and promoting human rights in Timor- Leste. He believes his work will be assisted through building skills in lobbying government, embassies and relevant institutions.
