Situation sécuritaire au nord du pays. Addendum. Evénements survenus entre septembre 2017 et mai 2018

English

The following executive summary is currently being translated into English.

Le présent document constitue un addendum au COI Focus Mali. Situation sécuritaire au nord du pays du 21 septembre 2017. Il s’agit d’une mise à jour partielle de ce document dans la mesure où le Cedoca, en raison des délais impartis pour cette recherche, ne traite que de l’état actuel du conflit et relève les principaux incidents sécuritaires survenus dans les régions du nord du pays entre septembre 2017 et mai 2018.

Pour la rédaction de ce COI Focus, le Cedoca s’est appuyé sur les rapports périodiques du secrétaire général au Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies sur la situation au Mali et a consulté des médias internationaux et nationaux.

La recherche documentaire a été clôturée le 31 mai 2018.

Policy

The policy implemented by the Commissioner General is based on a thorough analysis of accurate and up-to-date information on the general situation in the country of origin. This information is collated in a professional manner from various, objective sources, including the EASO, the UNHCR, relevant international human rights organisations, non-governmental organisations, professional literature and coverage in the media. When determining policy, the Commissioner General does not only examine the COI Focuses written by Cedoca and published on this website, as these deal with just one aspect of the general situation in the country of origin. The fact that a COI Focus could be out-of-date does not mean that the policy that is being implemented by the Commissioner General is no longer up-to-date.

When assessing an application for asylum, the Commissioner General not only considers the actual situation in the country of origin at the moment of decision-making, he also takes into account the individual situation and personal circumstances of the applicant for international protection. Every asylum application is examined individually. An applicant must comprehensively demonstrate that he has a well-founded fear of persecution or that there is a clear personal risk of serious harm. He cannot, therefore, simply refer back to the general conditions in his country, but must also present concrete, credible and personal facts.

There is no policy paper for this country available on the website.
