The objective of this workshop was to refine and adjust the draft produced in 2014 with a view to further aligning it with Mali’s international obligations under the UN Firearms Protocol, the ECOWAS Convention on small and light weapons and the Arms Trade Treaty. Under the chairpersonship of the CNLPAL President, 20 Malian legal experts and practitioners in the security sector, with the assistance of UNREC and UNODC experts, reviewed and discussed the current legal framework on the matter, together with the proposals made during the previous workshop, and formulated recommendations for inclusion in the new draft law that is to be presented to the Malian authorities for consideration. This workshop on the drafting of a legal framework on arms and ammunition in Mali was organised by UNREC jointly with UNODC in partnership with the Mali National Commission for the fight against the proliferation of small arms and light weapons (CNLPAL). Building on the previous workshops on the same subject organised by UNREC in partnership with CNLPAL in October and November 2014, this activity is part of the “Review of legislation and administrative procedures on PSSM” conducted under the “PSSM in Sahel” project.
