French Parliament moves to symbolically repeal the Code Noir

Original: code noir

France's Parliament is close to symbolically repealing the Code Noir, the 1685 royal ordinance that regulated slavery in the French colonies. According to Outre-mer La 1ère, the vote would be largely symbolic, as the decree is no longer in force, but it carries strong historical and memorial significance for overseas territories and descendants of enslaved people.

Why now: Parliament is currently voting on the symbolic repeal of the historic slavery decree, a step long demanded by memory and reparations advocates.
