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 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.
The power of the judiciary is the guardian
of the liberties defined by this Constitution. It guards the rights and
liberties defined by this Constitution. 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.
Law likewise establishes the status of the
Magistracy with respect to conformity with the principles of this Constitution.
