AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoSlavery Law Repeal in France: France’s National Assembly voted unanimously (254-0) to formally repeal the 1685 “Code Noir,” the colonial decree that treated enslaved people as “movable property” and backed brutal punishments—an overdue legal clean-up nearly two centuries after slavery was abolished in 1848. The move is largely symbolic but comes with a requirement for government reporting on the lasting effects of colonial law on Guadeloupe and other overseas territories, while lawmakers stopped short of reparations demands. Regional Airlift Shock: In the Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago’s Minister Eli Zakour says state-owned Caribbean Airlines will cut loss-making routes from June 1—ending service to Dominica and St Kitts, discontinuing the Guyana–Suriname corridor, and reducing flights to Martinique and Guadeloupe to twice weekly—after losses tied to the 2023 expansion exceeded US$18.8 million, with passengers offered rebooking or refunds as the airline moves toward a codeshare deal.
