Diplomacy Training Program

03/09/2026

What an extraordinary moment for the 34th Annual Human Rights and Diplomacy Training Program in Timor-Leste. We were deeply honoured to be the guests of DTP’s Founder and Patron, H.E. President José Ramos-Horta, who hosted the 26 participating human rights defenders from 16 countries for lunch. The President generously spent over two hours sharing lessons from Timor-Leste's path to independence and among the top ten of world democracies and contemporary global challenges for human rights, leaving each participant with hope and strategies to bring back to their own fight for human rights.
