OECUSSE
AND TIMOR LESTE'S CONSTITUTION
Due
to its unique history, geography and demographics,
Oecusse was awarded a series of constitutional recognitions
and concessions when Timor Leste's constitution was
promulgated in March 2002. However, neither Section
5 nor Section 71 have been substantively implemented
as of early 2005. The relevant sections are quoted
below.
Full
versions of the Constitution are available here in
English, Portuguese,
Bahasa Indonesia
and Tetum.
Section
4 (Territory)
"The territory of the Democratic Republic of
East Timor comprises the land surface, the maritime
zone and the air space demarcated by the national
boundaries that historically comprise the eastern
part of Timor Island, the enclave of Oecussi, the
island of Atauro and the islet of Jaco."
Section
5 (Decentralisation)
"Oecussi Ambeno and Atauro shall enjoy special
administrative and economic treatment."
Section
71 (Administrative Organisation)
"Oecussi Ambeno shall be governed by a special
administrative policy and economic regime."
