Question 1381 — veterans and victims of war

Summary

Mr. Stéphane Rambaud draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Armed Forces and Veterans to the situation of the harkis and their families, to the recognition of their particular situation and to their compensation. Considering the complex historical context and the tragic events which followed the independence of Algeria, in particular the massive reprisals against the harkis, as well as the unworthy conditions in which some were repatriated to France, the MP questions the Minister Delegate on the current measures taken by the Government to fully recognize the suffering endured by this community and offer them just reparation. The conclusions of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), in its judgment dated April 4, 2024, highlighted violations of the fundamental rights of harkis and their families, particularly with regard to living conditions in transit camps, in particular that of Bias in Lot-et-Garonne. This is why he asks what concrete actions the Government intends to take to ensure that the State's failings against the Harkie community and their descendants are properly recognized. More precisely, he asks if the Government plans to adjust the compensation amounts provided for by the law of February 2022, in order to better reflect the damage suffered by this community. The harkis and their families intend to obtain compensation of between 50,000 and 80,000 euros for the children and 100,000 euros for the parents. In addition, he wishes to be informed of any additional measures that could be taken to guarantee fair recognition and satisfactory redress for the Harkie community and their families, including the possibility of extending the compensation period until 1990 and offering lifetime annuities of 500 euros for all children of Harkis, without distinction.
