From the March 2012 coup d'état in Bamako to the January 2013 French military intervention in the northern region, the crisis in Mali has gripped international attention and dominated the headlines for several months. Yet, often opaque in discussions is an understanding of the underlying causes of the conflict, the implications for regional stability and the importance of international accountability.
As the anniversary of the coup approaches, and the international intervention is extended, the challenges for Mali's future are immense. In this teleconference an expert panel will dissect the complex crisis addressing key issues affecting the way forward including the timeliness and subject matter of investigations conducted by the International Criminal Court.
