Introduction

 

The landlocked country of Mali covers an area of 1,241,300 square kilometers.  It is the biggest country in Western Africa.  It shares a border with seven countries: Algeria to the north; Ivory Coast and Guinea to the south; Burkina to the southeast; Mauritania and Senegal to the west; and Niger and Senegal to the east.

 

The Sudanese Republic and Senegal gained independence from France on June 20, 1960 as the Mali Federation. Senegal seceded from the federation on Aug. 20, 1960, and the Sudanese Republic then changed its name to the Republic of Mali on Sept. 22, 1960.

 

French is the official language of Mali.

 

In 1992, Alpha Konaré became Mali's first democratically elected president. Mali's second multiparty national elections took place in May 1997, with President Konaré winning re-election.

 

The executive power

 

The President of the Republic

The President of the Republic is the Chief of the State and the guardian of the Constitution. He embodies the national unity. He is the guarantor of national independence, territorial integrity, and respect for international treaties and accords. The President keeps watch over the regular functioning of public authority and assures the continuity of the State.

 

      Designation

The President of the Republic is elected only once for five years by direct universal suffrage, by election on a majority basis from two rounds of balloting.  Every candidate for the office of President of the Republic must be of Malian national origin and must have fulfilled all civic and political duties.

 

The President of the Republic is elected by absolute majority of cast votes. If no absolute majority can be obtained after the first round of votes, a second round is held, the second Sunday following. This second round is open only to two candidates determined by the largest number of votes.

 

The convocation of electors is made by decree held in the Council of Ministers.

The Constitutional Court controls the regulation of these operations, make rulings regarding complaints, and proclaim the results of the election.

The President of the Republic promulgates laws within fifteen days following transmission to the Cabinet of the definitively adopted text. Before the expiration of this time period, he demands a new deliberation of the law or certain of its articles by the National Assembly.

 

The President of the Republic, by proposal of the Cabinet, during the duration of its sessions or by proposal of the National Assembly, after the opinion of the Constitutional Court is published in the Official Journal, may place under referendum any and all questions of national interest, any law related to the organization of public powers, consisting of an approval of an accord of union or an authorization of a treaty which, without being unconstitutional, would have effect on the function of the Institutions.

When the President of the Republic is temporarily unable to fulfil his duties, his powers are provisionally exercised by the Prime Minister.  In case of a vacancy of the Presidency, noted by the Constitutional Court, the President of the National Assembly and the Prime Minister, the functions of the President of the Republic are carried out by the President of the National Assembly.

The legislative power: Parliament

 

Parliament is comprised of one house called the National Assembly and its members are called ‘Deputies’. It currently consists of 147 members, elected for five years by direct universal suffrage. Organic law determines the methodology for this election.

 

Deputies enjoy parliamentary immunity because no member of the National Assembly may be pursued, investigated, arrested, detained or tried for his opinions or votes that arise from the exercise of his functions.

 

No member of the National Assembly may, during the time when parliament is in session, be pursued or arrested in a criminal or correctional manner without the authorization of the National Assembly, except in the case of a flagrant offense.

 

Outside of session, no member of the National Assembly can be arrested except with the authorization of the Office of the National Assembly, except in the case of a flagrant offense, authorized pursuits or definite condemnation.

 

The detention or pursuit of a member of the National Assembly is suspended if the National Assembly demands it.

 

Organic law establishes the number of members of the National Assembly, their indemnities, conditions of eligibility, scheme of ineligibilities and incompatibilities. Also, organizational law determines the conditions for election of those called to assure, in the case of a vacant seat, the replacement of Deputies until the re-election of the National Assembly.

 

The right to vote of the members of the National Assembly is individual.  Organizational law may authorize, for exceptional reasons, delegation of a vote. In this case no one may receive the delegation beyond what is mandated.

 

The National Assembly establishes its own procedure. The President of the National Assembly is elected for the duration of the legislature.

 

The law is voted on by a simple majority in the National Assembly. However, a law to which the Constitution confers the characteristics of an organic law is voted on in the following conditions:

·       the proposal or project must only be subjected to deliberation and vote of the National Assembly after the end of a fifteen-day time period following its deposit in the office of the National Assembly:

·       the text must only be adopted by an absolute majority of the members composing the National Assembly. Organic laws may only be promulgated after a declaration of the Constitutional Court of their conformity to the Constitution.

 

The law in Mali determines regulations concerning:

·       civic rights and fundamental guaranties provided to citizens so they may exercise their public liberties;

·       constraints imposed by the National Defense on themselves and their possessions;

·       nationality, civic rights, state and capacity of people, marriage, inheritance and donations, property system, actual rights and civic and commercial obligations, factions of society, expropriation;

·       crimes and offenses in addition to their applicable penalties, criminal procedure, police judiciary, extradition, amnesty, the creation of jurisdictions, the status of Ministerial Officers, the status of juridical and judicial Professions;

·       the status of civil servants;

·       the general status of the personnel of the Armed forces;

·       the system of distribution of money, the tax base, taxes and methods of collection.

 

Equally, the law determines the fundamental principles of:

·       the general organization of the defense and national security;

·       the right to work, social security, the right to form unions;

·       the organization and competency of professional orders;

·       education and research;

·       the protection of cultural heritage and archaeology;

·       public compatibility;

·       the creation, organization and control of public services and organizations;

·       the nationalization of enterprises, denationalization and transfer of property of enterprises from the public sector to the private sector;

·       the electoral system;

·       the free administration of local collectives, their competence and their resources;

·       the administrative organization of the national territory;

·       the management and alienation of the State’s domain;

·       the organization of the national product;

·       the organization of the justice system;

·       the penitentiary system.

 

The law of the Treasury (loi de finances) determines resources and the government expenditures.  The budget must be adopted by the National Assembly.

 

Declaration of war is authorized by the National Assembly in a special meeting for that purpose. Then, the President of the Republic informs the nation by an announcement.  States of emergency and states of siege are declared in the Council of Ministers. Their extension beyond ten days may only be authorized by the National Assembly.

 

In the execution of its functions, the Cabinet must, within its domain as established by law, request Parliamentary authorization to take by Ordinance, during a limited time period, measures which are normally the domain of the law. These Ordinances must come from the Council of Ministers following the opinion of the Supreme Court. These ordinances come into effect as soon as they are adopted, but can become null and void if they are not ratified by the National Assembly before the date established by their own qualification. At the expiration of the time period, Ordinances may only be modified by law on matters which are in the legislative domain.  The initiation of laws belongs concurrently to the Cabinet and to the members of the National Assembly.

 

If the National Assembly is not established at the time of the commencement of the budgetary period or if it does not vote-in a budget, the Cabinet returns the budget in the fifteen day period when the National Assembly meets in special session for this reason. The National Assembly must then decide in eight days. If this deliberation does not result in a voted-in budget, the task is then taken up by the Cabinet based on the formula of the previous result and following the opinion of the Supreme Court.

 

The Prime Minister, after deliberation of the Council of Ministers, discusses the responsibility of the Cabinet within the National Assembly’s plan either before the Assembly or by a declaration of the general politics of the Cabinet.

 

The National Assembly defeats action of the Cabinet by passing a vote of no confidence. Such a motion is only admissible if it is signed by at least one tenth of the members of the National Assembly. A vote must take place within forty-eight hours of the motion.

 

Those who are polled to be in favor of the vote of no confidence may only come from the majority of the two tiers of the members composing the Assembly. If the motion of the vote of no confidence is rejected, the signers may not propose a new motion within the course of the same session.

 

The Prime Minister may, after deliberation with the Council of Ministers, engage the liability of the Cabinet before the National Assembly regarding the vote on a bill. In this case, the bill is considered to be adopted, unless a motion of no confidence, made in the next twenty-four hours, is voted-in.

 

When the National Assembly adopts a new motion of no confidence or when it disapproves of the plan or a declaration of the general politics of the Cabinet, the Prime Minister must submit to the President of the Republic the resignation of the Cabinet.

 

The judicial power

 

The judicial power is independent of the executive and legislative powers. It is exercised by the Supreme Court and the other courts and tribunals. The President of the Republic is the guarantor of the independence of the judicial power.

It is charged to apply, in its proper domain, the laws of the Republic.  Magistrates can not be suppressed in the exercise of their duties, but by the authority of the law.

 

The Superior Council watches over the management of the Magistrates’ careers and gives its opinion on any question concerning the independence of the Magistracy. Also, the Superior Council of the Magistracy serves as the Council of discipline for the Magistrates.  Organic law (Loi organique) establishes the composition, organization, allocations, and functioning of the Superior Council of the Magistracy.
