Abstract EN

constitutes indiscriminate killing and execution; A familiar aspect of the French occupation administration in Algeria; Especially during the period of military rule, and the campaigns of the Army of Africa.

The exceptional situation in dealing with the affairs of Algeria and Muslims in particular was a pretext for the leaders and officers of the French army to breach the most basic rules of international humanitarian law, and international conventions regulating conflict in case of war.

The random executions that Algerians were subjected to were not based on trials, even if they were formal, except in the advanced periods of the military rule in Algeria.

These executions took the form of isolated individual cases; However, it also adopted the method of mass liquidation of the Muslim population, as part of a blatant extermination war strategy.
