Proposition de loi visant l'abrogation des « codes noirs » et la reconnaissance de l'esclavage dans tous les territoires

This is a French private member's bill (proposition de loi) tabled in the National Assembly during the 17th legislature. It proposes repealing the 'codes noirs', the colonial-era legal codes that governed slavery in French colonies, and formally recognising slavery across all French territories. The bill concerns how France acknowledges its colonial history and its legal past. The bill would mainly affect France's overseas territories and the descendants of enslaved people, and it would give a formal legal status to recognition of slavery.
