		UNTAET regulations, which are based on the U.N. Convention on Civil and Political Rights, explicitly preclude arbitrary arrest and detention, and require a hearing within 48 hours of arrest to review the lawfulness of the arrest and detention.
		UNTAET requested assistance from the Government of Indonesia in extraditing identified suspects at large in Indonesia; however, by year's end, the Government of Indonesia had refused to extradite suspects to East Timor or to allow UNTAET investigators to question suspects in Indonesia.
		UNTAET and the CNRT have made significant efforts to include women in appointed political bodies, and there are 13 women on the National Council; however, women remain underrepresented in the government and politics, especially at top leadership levels.

		UNTAET has a mandate to exercise jurisdiction down to district level, with district administrators appointed to oversee the work of its governance and public administration in the districts.
		The education needed to inform this electorate of the options for developing a constitutional relationship for society is a daunting task, but must be developed before the election of a constituent assembly and a legislature.
		UNTAET is required to establish local advisory bodies at all levels to assist it, and to ensure the participation of the East Timorese in the governance and administration of the territory.

		UNTAET police from close to fifty countries had little guidance in criminal procedure in the intervening months and often operated according to the procedures they knew from home.
		As early as December 1999, UNTAET decided that aninternational panel of the Dili district court would be set up to investigate international crimes, such as crimes against humanity, and all serious offenses, such as murder and rape, that occurred from January 1, 1999 through October 25, 1999.
		If UNTAET was fully cooperative with the Indonesian process, not only might the interests of justice be better served, but the Attorney General's Office also would have no excuse for not proceeding with prosecutions.

		One manifestation of this uncertainty was that UNTAET, eager to avoid prejudging the outcome of the political transition it was mandated to oversee, felt constrained in its dealings with the CNRT in a way that the donor community did not.
		UNTAET's uneven commitment to the JAM process (which is partially explained by the fact that the JAM actually began before UNTAET came into existence) was reflected in an uneven commitment to the JAM's recommendations.
		Hopes that UNTAET could pursue a two-track approach from the start by simultaneously implementing the humanitarian relief programme and establishing the foundations of the new government were not realised.

		UNTAET holds effective treaty-making powers, has entered into a treaty with the World Bank’s International Development Association, and is negotiating on behalf of East Timor on a future treaty with Australia on the Timor Gap.
		The criticisms of UNTAET in Dili were echoed and amplified in the thirteen districts, where the district administrators complained of their exclusion from policy decisions.
		UNTAET’s position is that it is entitled to all or nearly all of the revenue, on the basis that most of the Zone falls within Timorese waters as usually demarcated in international law.

		UNTAET consisted of a governance and public administration component, a civilian police component of up to 1,640 civilian police and an armed United Nations peacekeeping force, of equivalent size to INTERFET.
		UNTAET also began a process of reorganizing itself to resemble more closely the future government of East Timor and to increase the direct participation of the East Timorese.
		However, the UNTAET Serious Crimes Investigation Unit was understaffed and underfunded, limiting its ability to investigate the 10 priority incidents related to the 1999 atrocities.

		UNTAET has a broader mandate than any other UN administration to date, with power to exercise all legislative, executive and judicial authority in the territory.
		It was widely agreed, including by the UNTAET representatives, that establishing a legal framework for media activities was a key priority, and that recommendations for such a framework should be provided to UNTAET by February 2000.
		UNTAET Radio is, and is seen to be, part of the transitional UN arrangement in East Timor, not the beginning of a national broadcasting organisation.

		UNTAET committed itself at the highest level to achieve these objectives and established the Gender Affairs Unit (GAU) as the institutional mechanism to facilitate the integration of gender perspectives into the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all UNTAET programs and policies.
		A critical objective of UNTAET is the preparations for the transfer of administrative power to the East Timorese at independence and establishing conditions for sustainable development.
		UNTAET has been guided in its efforts by the definition provided in the 1997 ECOSOC Resolution on the subject: “Gender mainstreaming is the process of assessing the implications for women and men of any planned action, including legislation, policies or programs in all areas and at all levels.

		UNTAET has to deal with the blurred lines of international law versus a domestic Indonesian criminal tribunal, and the hypocrisy that Generals who ordered massacres of East Timorese are now playing a part in negotiations with the provisional administration.

		Moreover, when UNTAET was compelled to act due to the threat of mutiny among Falintil's ranks, the integration of its former members into the new East Timorese Defense Forces (FDTL) was left to personal loyalties, instead of clear and transparent criteria.
		Fifth, UNTAET left East Timor with a Constitution drafted according to Fretilin's wishes and with a parliament controlled entirely by the Fretilin (Revolutionary Front for an Independent East Timor).
		UNTAET could have chosen to select several East Timorese representatives from different parties, religious groups, non government organizations and minority groups.

		UNTAET also arranged visits to East Timor by some militia leaders so that they would know what to expect when they and their followers returned.
		The complex and often contradictory system of land ownership caused uncertainty and many disputes; UNTAET was making preparations for a Land and Property Commission to (a) restore and maintain the land registry, (b) resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration and, where necessary, adjudication, and (c) allocate abandoned public and private property.

		Untaet declared at its beginning in November 1999 that all Indonesian law, thus including labour law, remains valid in Timor Lorosa'e.
		Untaet and the national political elite opened the door wide for the entry of foreign capitalists and made Timor Lorosa’e a commodity for foreign investors to pay cheap wages and to violate workers rights without clear sanctions.
		Untaet, meanwhile, tended to spread information about new labour regulations to NGOs and business associations, rather than to the unions.

		Moreover, negotiations are under way between Untaet and the Jakarta government to draw up a memorandum of understanding providing for mutual judicial assistance in relation to human rights, and the extradition of individuals suspected of such crimes.
		That means there is no longer any guarantee that the Indonesian military chiefs will continue to benefit from the immunity they have long enjoyed on account of their pre-eminent role in the Suharto regime.
		An Untaet diplomat says "The most appalling crimes were committed under his command, and the fact that the militias remain active is partly down to him".
