General Discussion

France is the birthplace of human rights, and as such it has one of the most advanced anti-discrimination and anti-racism legislations. Constitutional acts in France acknowledge equality regarding the law, equality between men and women, equality regardless of race and nationality, equal rights for labour regardless of background, views and beliefs, equal rights to education, culture, learning a profession. These rights are based on the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, to which the country’s modern Constitution is linked and which in its preamble states that "the French nation boldly proclaims its allegiance to human rights... as they were defined by the Declaration of 1789 and the Constitution of 1946”. Article 1 of the French constitution states that France “must provide for equality of all citizens before the law, regardless of origin, race or religions and respect all faiths”.
