MALI'S PRESIDENTIAL POLL 'MAJOR STEP' TOWARDS RESTORATION OF DEMOCRACY
– SECURITY COUNCILNew York, Aug 16 2013 5:00PMThe successful conduct
of the presidential election in Mali represents a "major step toward
the restoration of democratic governance and constitutional order,"
the Security Council said today, urging the international community to
continue its support to promote peace in the country.

In a statement to the press, the members of the Council commended the
Malian people "for their peaceful participation in the electoral
process" and the transitional authorities for the preparation,
organization and management of the elections.

The provisional results were announced yesterday, declaring Ibrahim
Boubacar Keita the winner. The elections are seen as an important step
on the path to recovery for Mali. Since early 2012, the country has
witnessed a military coup d'état, renewed fighting between Government
forces and Tuareg rebels, and the seizure of its northern territory by
radical Islamists.

The 15-member body reiterated its call on all signatories of the
Ouagadougou Agreement of 18 June to fully implement its provisions,
including the launch of inclusive and credible peace talks open to all
communities of the north of Mali in the designated timeframe.

The agreement, signed in Burkina Faso, provides for an immediate
ceasefire and commits the parties to discussing sustainable peace in
Mali through an inclusive dialogue that will take place after the
election.

The members of the Council also called for the swift holding of free,
fair, transparent, and inclusive legislative elections, and stressed
the importance of the national dialogue and reconciliation process.

In addition, they underlined the importance of the full operational
deployment of the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission
(MINUSMA) in northern Mali, as well as the reestablishment of State
authority throughout the country, the continued implementation of the
transitional road map, and the promotion of the rule of law and
protection of human rights.

The peacekeeping mission's core task is to support the political
process in Mali, in close coordination with the African Union (AU) and
the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).Aug 16 2013
