Question 17712 — veterans and victims of war

Summary

Mr. Vincent Seitlinger draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Minister of the Armed Forces, responsible for veterans and memory, to the significant administrative delays encountered in the processing of compensation files for harkis. Law No. 2022-229 of February 23, 2022, requested by the President of the Republic, opened the right to compensation, by the State, for damages suffered by harkis due to the indignity of their reception conditions in France. The condemnation of France by the European Court of Human Rights on April 4, 2024 also serves as a reminder of France's historical failings vis-à-vis the harkis. In this regard, the MP wishes to express his gratitude for the research work carried out by the ministry in order to ensure fair compensation. Nevertheless, families of rights holders and associations are now warning about the considerable administrative delays characterizing the processing of their files. It is particularly regrettable to continue to make them wait, after they have already had to wait sixty years before being officially recognized as victims. This is why he asks her if she will take the necessary measures to speed up the processing of these files.
