An error was introduced into Susannah Linton's article, ‘Unravelling the First Three Trials at Indonesia's Ad Hoc Court for Human Rights Violations in East Timor’, in Volume 17, issue 2 of the Leiden Journal of International Law, on p. 360. The sentence, ‘It would have examined how it was that in September 1999, despite the presence of so many TNI and police, the population of East Timor was virtually decimated’, should read, ‘It would have examined how it was that in September 1999, despite the presence of so many TNI and police, East Timor was virtually destroyed.’
