“article 320”, mob killing, justice weakness, and impunityAbstract
This article deals with the lynching culture which has been developing in Mali since the 1991 democratic revolution. The phenomenon is growing continuously with the deepening social crises and the serious malfunctioning of the police and the judiciary. With the sense of justice it conveys, the application of the so-called article 320 is believed to be more effective in the fight against criminality than is any other institutional framework, despite the fact that it is being denounced somewhat by some citizens.
