Article 13 Security of EUTM Mali and military police

The Host State shall take all appropriate measures to ensure the safety and security of EUTM Mali and its personnel outside their facilities.

EUTM Mali shall be authorised, on the land territory of the Host State, to take the measures necessary, including the use of necessary and proportionate force, to protect its personnel, facilities, assets and means of transport.

This authorisation shall extend to the protection of persons in the immediate environment of EUTM Mali personnel where there are risks that might place the lives of such persons in danger or cause them grievous bodily injury.

The Mission Commander may establish a military police unit in order to maintain order on EUTM Mali facilities.

The military police unit may also, in consultation and cooperation with the military police or the police of the Host State, act outside those facilities to ensure the maintenance of good order and discipline among EUTM Mali personnel.
