- In a bid to modernise its legislation by bringing it in line with the evolving international human rights law, the Government of Mali launched, in 1998, a vast operation to codify the rights of individuals and the family. This project, which was subject to broad popular consultation, received expert input prior to the drafting of Law No. 201 1-087 establishing the Persons and Family Code. However, the Applicants submit that the law as promulgated violates several provisions of international human rights instruments ratified by the Respondent State.
