Malian Govt. Creates 75 New Bailiff-Commissioner Posts to Strengthen Judicial System

Mali Bailiff-Commissioners

The government of Mali has approved the creation of 75 new positions for bailiff-commissioners. The decision, adopted during the Council of Ministers meeting on April 4, seeks to improve the execution of court decisions and address the shortage of judicial officers across several regions.

According to the government, many areas in Mali currently lack adequate bailiff-commissioners. In such regions, chief clerks have been assuming their duties in addition to their primary responsibilities—leading to delays and inefficiencies in judicial procedures.

It is worth noting that the bailiff-commissioners play a crucial role in the justice system. Their responsibilities include serving legal documents, issuing notifications where the method has not been explicitly stated, enforcing court decisions, and conducting public auctions.

Establishing these new posts is expected to significantly reduce delays in executing judgments and enhance public trust in the judicial system. According to the government, the 75 new positions will be strategically distributed across three major judicial regions, aiming for a more balanced and effective legal presence throughout the country.

In a related move, the President of the Transition, General Assimi Goïta, also amended the framework of the Commission responsible for drafting the National Charter for Peace and Reconciliation. This amendment aims to accelerate and further frame a key process for the stability of Mali, which is facing persistent security and political challenges.

The Decree tagged No. 2025-0230/PT-RM of April 4, 2025, amends Article 9 of the previous text (December 2024) establishing the Commission.

From now on, it must report its progress every 15 days to the Transition President or “if necessary”. Submit the draft Charter and a final report before June 30, 2025, the deadline for the end of its missions.
