Reconnaissance du massacre des Algériens du 17 octobre 1961 à Paris

This French bill proposal would have Parliament formally recognise the massacre of Algerian demonstrators in Paris on 17 October 1961. That day, police violently repressed a peaceful protest against a curfew imposed on Algerians during the Algerian War, and many people were killed or disappeared. Historians' estimates of the death toll vary. The bill concerns how the state acknowledges this event in its official history. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text. The proposal mainly concerns the French state, its institutions, and the families of the victims and the Algerian community in France. It is a memory and recognition measure, so its direct effects depend on the wording of the adopted text, which this summary does not cover.
