Dispute Resolution Committee: National Pact

Implementations

Dispute Resolution Committee – 1992

The commission for the supervision of the National Pact was established on 25 April 1992 at the Ministry of Internal Security. The committee consisted of four representatives from the Malian government, four from the Malians of the Unified Movements and Fronts of the Azaouad, and five Algerians. Mr. Soummana Diallo, the Malian government’s delegate to the north, chaired the commission; the purpose of the commission was to avoid any misunderstanding in the implementation of the National Pact.1 The commission’s first meeting took place on July 11, 1992.2 Active while violence was still taking place, the commission deplored the violence and called for the organization of awareness campaigns on the Pact through radio and television debates.
