Mali: President of the Transition grants pardon to a French DGSE agent

AI justification

Pardon undermines judicial sovereignty and rule of law, outweighing short-term diplomatic gains. | The pardon may temporarily reduce diplomatic friction (positive for SDG 16/17), but it significantly weakens Mali's judicial independence and sovereignty. The negative aspects outweigh the positive, as the action undermines core principles of justice and self-determination, with potential long-term consequences for national stability and international law.
