紛争後社会におけるSSR（Security Sector Reform）――東ティモールの国家建設を事例として

抄録

Reform or establishment of the security sector in the context of peace operations is a newly developing field. Despite the efforts by the international community, achievements thus far have been limited. The purpose of this paper is to provide lessons for future SSR operations, using the case of Timor-Leste as a negative example by examining its limits in terms of the SSR process.

Firstly, this paper tries to illustrate the significance of SSR to the success of peace-building. The ultimate goal of peace-building is to perpetuate peace and stability in post-conflict societies. From the viewpoint of this concept, it is of foremost importance to construct a democratic and civilian controlled security sector,as the post conflict society must remain stable for the future. Secondly, this paper strives to describe a chronological process of the construction of security sector institutions, especially PNTL (Timor-Leste National Police), F-FDTL (Timor-Leste Defense Force) and the judiciary system in Timor-Leste. Finally, this paper shows a factual analysis of the SSR process in Timor-Leste. In this process, the political opposition structure of pre-independence Timor-Leste was absorbed into the security services. However, their partisanship caused disorder after independence. In conclusion, the practice of SSR adopted in Timor-Leste was inadequate and insufficient:There was the gap between the concept of SSR and the actual implementation and there was no specific strategy especially in establishing the military. Unstable institutions were created by the premature withdrawal of the UN contingent. Inadequate SSR creates instability and can even cause further conflict.
