Content_paragraphs:  I am deeply concerned about the increasing cases of human rights violations, 
  
  including against children and women, which I have repeatedly condemned. I call 
  
  upon the Malian authorities to promptly investigate and prosecute human rights 
  
  violations in the north and centre, as well as those committed in the context of the 
  
  post-electoral crisis. Impunity fuels the cycle of violence and undermines trust in the 
  
  social contract between the Government and the population. It has to end. I urge all 
  
  Malian stakeholders to accord the fight against impunity the utmost attention in the 
  
  road map of the transition and in the Government’s post-transition priorities.
