Della-Giacoma, J. The UN's lame security review for Timor-Leste. The Interpreter: Weblog of the Lowy Institute for International Policy

I recalled these words this week when reading his latest semi-annual report on the UN Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT), which showed that the UN’s efforts t0 assist with a 'comprehensive review of the security sector' in Timor-Leste are moving at a very pedestrian pace.
