2. The
situation
in
Northern
Mali
is
still
worrying.
Since
the
beginning
of
the
conflict,
in
January
2012,
numerous
cases
of
breach
committed
by
armed
groups
have
been
identified
by
the
NGOs.
Sadly,
the
French
intervention,
in
January
2013,
has
not
prevented
the
civilians
from
other
threats
and
violations
and
NGOs
have
denounced
several
abuses
by
the
Malian
army,
or
some
elements
more
or
less
under
its
control.
Today,
in
the
prospect
of
July
and
of
the withdrawal
of
the
French
army,
we
have
to
be
sure
that
the
situation
won't
get
worse
and
that
the
international
community,
through
the
UN
mission
(MINUSMA),
will
be
able
to
ensure
the
security
of
civilians.
Therefore,
M.
François
Alfonsi,
M.
Jean
Jacob

and
Mrs
Franziska
Brantner

take
the
initiative
to
publicly
address
the
human
rights
situation
in
Northern
Mali
and
its
consequences
on
the
future
of
the
Malian
reconstruction.
The
conference
on
Human
Rights
aims
at
reminding
abuses
committed
by
the
extremist
groups
in
2012
and
the
need
for
the
perpetrators
to
be
tried
by
an
international
independent
court
;
highlighting
the
current
situation
of
human
rights
in
Northern
Mal
;
highlighting
the
specific
issue
of
the
Northern
Mali/Azawad,
in
the
framework
of
the
future
reconstruction.

political,
military
and
