\"File‘It must be sincere gesture, fundamental step in reconciliation process,’ says new report on nuclear testing, which took place from 1966 to 1996 \u2013 thirty years<\/p>\n

A new French parliamentary report urges Paris to apologize for its decades of nuclear tests in French Polynesia.<\/p>\n

“The investigation reinforced the conviction of the parliamentary commission of inquiry that France must issue an apology to French Polynesia,” said the report issued Tuesday by the commission of inquiry.<\/p>\n

Describing the apology as a “measured act,” the report’s authors proposed that it should be written into a 2004 law that grants autonomous status to French Polynesia, according to broadcaster RFI.<\/p>\n

“This request is not merely symbolic, nor is it a plea for repentance. It must be a sincere gesture, a fundamental step in a reconciliation process between French Polynesia and the French State,” the report says.<\/p>\n

The report also suggests the establishment of a commission of historians and researchers to \u201cundertake an in-depth study of all archives related to France’s nuclear testing policy in French Polynesia.”<\/p>\n

Between 1966 and 1996, France carried out 193 nuclear tests in Polynesia, leading local people to be exposed to harmful levels of radiation for three decades.<\/p>\n
