The UN documented 632 human rights violations between April and June that resulted in the deaths of 323 people. This represents a 6% increase compared to the previous quarter. Armed groups, self-defense militias, jihadist factions, security forces... the perpetrators are numerous. But it is specifically the "increase in serious human rights violations" committed by the Malian and Burkinabè armies that is particularly concerning. They account for a quarter of all human rights abuses.

The report mentions cases of attacks carried out on the villages of Yangassadiou and Binedema, in the Mopti region. It also mentions the case of Massabougou, further toward Ségou, in early June. In each instance, witnesses describe summary executions or shootings targeting civilians and point to the Malian Armed Forces (FAMA), accompanied by militiamen or traditional hunters, in some of the cases.

Burkinabè military personnel are also targeted by the report: they allegedly executed 50 people in late May in the Boulkessi area. The UN notes however that the Bamako authorities have taken some steps toward ending impunity. Orders for judicial proceedings were signed by the Defense Minister. But the response remains "insufficient", the United Nations regrets.
