Abrogation du Code noir

This is a French private member's bill (proposition de loi ordinaire) introduced in the National Assembly during the 17th legislature. It seeks to formally repeal the Code noir, the royal edict of 1685 that regulated slavery in French colonies and set out the legal status of enslaved people. The bill is symbolic and concerns how France addresses its colonial past. Based on the title and metadata only, not the full text. The measure would mainly affect the legal and historical record rather than current daily life. It is most relevant to historians, descendants of enslaved people, and residents of former colonies and overseas territories. It would also shape debate on historical memory and the state's official stance on slavery.
