Question 8953 — terrorism

Summary

Adults who joined the ranks of Daesh and are held in camps in northeastern Syria must be judged as close as possible to the place where they committed their acts. France has always strived to take into account the best interests of children who, unlike their parents, have not chosen to join the cause of a terrorist organization. This is why, since 2019, it has organized complex repatriation operations as soon as the situation allows it. The last operation took place on July 4, 2023. To date, 169 children have been repatriated and 57 adult women handed over to the judicial authorities upon their arrival in France.  The Paris administrative court considered on March 13, 2025 that in the absence of proof provided by the ministry of the refusal of the interested parties to consent to repatriation, and taking into account the terms of the requests, they now wished to be repatriated. However, he does not order the French state to repatriate its nationals detained in north-east Syria but to carry out a new examination of the requests. The Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs took note of the decisions of the Paris administrative court and appealed on May 13, 2025.
