Question 15942 — veterans and victims of war

Summary

Mr. Philippe Pradal draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Minister of the Armed Forces, responsible for veterans and memory, to the policy of reparation for the drama of the harkis initiated by the State within the framework of Law No. 2022-229 of February 23, 2022 relating to the recognition of the Nation towards the harkis and other persons repatriated from Algeria formerly of civil status under local law and compensation for the damage suffered by they and their families due to the indignity of their reception and living conditions in certain structures on French territory. Paragraph 1 of Article 1 of the law states that "the Nation expresses its gratitude to the harkis, moghaznis and the personnel of the various auxiliary formations and assimilated with civil status under local law who served France in Algeria and whom it abandoned". France recognizes therefore, through the law, its responsibility in the drama of the abandonment of the harkis in Algeria from May 12, 1962. The legislator thus put an end to the theory of acts of Government mobilized by the Council of State in its Tamazount jurisprudence of October 3, 2018 to decline the jurisdiction of administrative jurisdiction on this point. Article 3 of Law No. 2022-229 of February 23, 2022 established a repair system for inhumane reception conditions for survivors in camps in France. However, the law had not specified the terms of compensation for the damaging and prejudicial consequences of the policy of abandoning the harkis on Algerian soil, in particular the loss of their heritage and the years of captivity endured in Algeria for some of them. He would like to know what initiative the Government intends to take to complete the repair system established in Article 3 of the said law.
