(Bamako, Dakar, Montreal, Paris) – Today, Lawyers without Borders Canada (ASFC), the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), the Malian Association for Human Rights (AMDH), and Amnesty International announce the launch of a new project that aims to bolster the fight against impunity in Mali. Our organisations recognise the essential role that the fight against impunity plays in addressing the rights of victims and the protection of local populations. Our organisations endeavour to improve the security situation by contributing our expertise to ongoing human rights protection efforts in the country. "The fight against impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes needs to be ramped up so that victims can have access to the truth and can obtain justice and reparation, so that the high-level leaders responsible for these abuses are duly punished, and so that Malians can continue the peace and reconciliation process."
