AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Code Noir Repealed: France’s Parliament has formally removed the 1685 Code Noir and related slavery laws from the statute books. The Senate approved the bill unanimously on October 20, following the National Assembly’s unanimous vote in May. Though long obsolete, the laws had never been explicitly repealed. Guadeloupe MP Max Mathiasin championed the measure as an act of historical recognition. Public Safety: Amid nationwide unrest, authorities imposed nighttime curfews for minors in parts of Pointe-à-Pitre and Les Abymes after violence left three police officers wounded by gunfire. France’s government said restrictions would be targeted at affected neighborhoods rather than entire cities.
