Event from 09/14/2022
On September 14 and 15, 2022, Ms. TRAORE Diénéba DIAKITE, Advisor to the Minister of Justice and Human Rights of Mali, and Mr. Boubacar TCHIOMBIANO, Regional Technical Advisor for Terre des hommes’ Access to Justice program in West Africa, took part in the sessions of the Committee on the Rights of the Child, which saw the Philippines and Kuwait appear before the Committee.
At the end of these sessions, Ms. TRAORE and Mr. TCHIOMBIANO met with two vice-chairmen of the Committee on the Rights of the Child, Ms. Hynd Ayoubi Idrissi and Mr. Philip D. Jaffé: Ms. Hynd Ayoubi Idrissi and Mr. Philip D. Jaffé, to review Mali’s commitment to adopting a legislative child protection code. Indeed, a draft code was drawn up and submitted last December at a workshop for amendment by child protection actors in contact with the law.
Having opted for an inclusive approach, Mali would like to have the opinion of a large number of child protection stakeholders. At this stage, the Ministry in charge of child protection, which has the lead on this dossier, is still awaiting the opinion of the High Islamic Council in Mali.
With the High Islamic Council’s reaction still to come, the process of drawing up the draft child protection code is now in a state of lethargy, pending the opinion of all the key players involved in child protection.
In the opinion of the two members quoted above, the resolution of such a difficulty requires a plea at the highest level to the executive, i.e. the head of the Malian government, who should first take ownership of this text and work with the various stakeholders, to finally move towards the adoption of this draft text.
Discussions also focused on Mali’s desire to set up a national directorate for juvenile justice, which will be responsible for the coordination and technical control of services, organizations and all structures involved in the protection of children in contact with the justice system.
