Qualifier de crime l'incendie d'un bien reconnu comme trésor national

This is a French private member's bill (proposition de loi ordinaire) tabled in the National Assembly during the 15th legislature. It would reclassify the deliberate burning of a property recognised as a national treasure as a crime, the most serious category of offence under French criminal law, rather than a lesser offence. The aim is to give stronger legal protection to cultural heritage against deliberate destruction. The change would mainly affect people who deliberately set fire to protected heritage sites, and the authorities responsible for prosecuting and sentencing them. Owners and managers of recognised national treasures would be covered by the stronger protection. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full text of the bill.
