Malval was born on 11 July 1943 in Port-au-Prince. He is of Lebanese heritage on his mother's side.[2] He attended high school and university in the United States, earning a degree in political science from the University of Miami, before moving to Paris for graduate work in international affairs. Prior to entering politics, he worked in his father-in-law's printing business before starting his own company.[3]
Malval was appointed on 16 August 1993 by President-in-exile Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who tasked Malval with reconciling the feuding parties.[4] He defied the Army-backed president, Émile Jonassaint, by demanding state workers disregard Jonassaint's orders.[5] In December 1993, he resigned his post and criticized Aristide as an "erratic" figure who was hampering efforts to solve the political crisis.[6]
