As France was never recognized guilty this is only suspected facts (most being, nevertheless, well documented) or crimes that remains largely unpunished, often negated

Crime against humanity
- Vichy France had been the first country to send children to Nazi concentration camps (still 60000 were saved by the French Population).
- Mass deportation of jews and resistance’s members to Germany (to note France was the only country not administered by Germany to act as such). Not to talk of torture and direct involvement by the French police and gendarmerie.
- Mass internment and, later, deportation of Gypsies (14000 dead). Restrictions started on September 16 1939, internment was ordered on April 6 1940 to end only on June 1 1946 (2 months before the fall of France, more than 1 year after the return of people from Auschwitz and almost 2 years after the liberation of France).
- Add to this the treatment given to the Harkis after the end of the Algerian war (agree that this might only be seen as an unlawful treatment).
- Suspected direct involvement of French soldiers in the Rwanda Genocide (4 cases being investigated)
- …

War crimes
- Mass rape by French soldiers in Germany (1945).
- Use of torture and military exaction in Algeria and else (1945-1962)
- Recent exactions in Côte d’Ivoire (Under operation Licorne) and Rwanda (1994)
- …

Raison d’Etat (or sometimes State terrorism from my point of view)
- Involvement in the assassination of Mehdi Ben Barka (1965 - Charles de Gaulle)
- Sinking of the Rainbow warrior (New Zealand - 1985). The soldiers involved didn’t had to answer this. (François Mitterand)
- Suspected direct involvement in the assassination of Thomas Sankara (1987), leader of Burkina Faso. (François Mitterand and Jacques Chirac)
- Suspected involvement in the dissimulation of facts in the assassination of Judge Borrel who Died in djibouti in 1995 (Jacques Chirac). France still pretends it to be suicide while the former president of Djibouti has been found guilty of murder (how can you murder someone who had commited suicide?)
- Active support to the Ben Ali and Khadaffi regimes. Currently, France still support and funds the Chadian regime of Idriss Déby Itno. Meanwhile Déby sends troops within Libya to support the very Khadaffi we are bombing daily (how amusing).
- …

Of course, these are the doing of the French government not of the French population. To note French Presidents between 1968-1992 often brought flowers on Petain's tumb. The list could go a long way and soldiers have been condemned for several of these acts. However, politicians have yet to answer these. Still, the good thing about France is that I can write this without fearing for my life or freedom (the same for US).
