The CALL granted subsidiary protection for two applicants from Mali, changed its policy towards the country due to major upheavals and significantly deteriorated security situation in the country. This has led the Council to conclude that indiscriminate violence exists in the North and Centre Mali, reaching such intensity, that it must be considered that any civilian applicant from those regions incur, by the mere fact of being present in these regions, a serious and individual threat to their lives. The Council noted that is not necessary to consider other specific circumstances.

The Council also underlined that given the situation in Mali, there is currently no internal flight alternative for applicants coming from the Northern or Central part of the country.
