In this submission, Amnesty International evaluates the implementation of recommendations made to France in its previous Universal Periodic Review, including in relation to the situation of refugees and migrants, arms transfers, climate justice and discrimination in the country. It also assesses the national human rights framework with regard to increasing threats to freedom of expression and association, and limits on the exercise of universal jurisdiction by French courts. Amnesty International also raises concern about digital surveillance, unlawful use of force by the police and the right to protest.
