FRENCH PARLIAMENT VOTES TO REPEAL COLONIAL-ERA SLAVERY LAWS. (PHOTO).


 French parliament votes to repeal colonial-era slavery laws


France’s lower house of parliament voted unanimously to repeal centuries-old royal decrees that codified slavery in French colonies, marking a symbolic step in the country’s reckoning with its colonial past.


Lawmakers in the National Assembly approved legislation to formally annul the “Code Noir,” a set of 17th- and 18th-century laws that regulated slavery across French colonial territories. The measure passed 254-0, according to results published by the Assembly.

The legislation still requires approval by the Senate before it can become law. A vote in the upper chamber has not yet been scheduled.


French President Emmanuel Macron endorsed the repeal earlier this month, saying the continued existence of the decrees was incompatible with the values of the French Republic.
