	Charles Pasqua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles Pasqua (born 18 April 1927) is a French businessman and politician.
		Pasqua distanced himself in 1998 from RPR and Jacques Chirac, arguing that Chirac was not a true heir of Gaullism.
		Pasqua denies the charges and pointed out that all evidence shown by the Senatorial panel shows that the Iraqi regime intended to "reward" Pasqua, and gave oil "vouchers" to intermediaries, but shows no indication that any of this had reached Pasqua.

		Charles Pasqua, a former French minister of the interior, has emerged as one of the highest-ranking targets of the widening investigations into the Iraq oil-for-food scandal.
		Mr Pasqua's alleged involvement has emerged as inquiries turn to the role of foreign governments in the corruption within the humanitarian aid programme.
		Mr Pasqua's alleged role has come to light as separate oil-for-food investigations - one by the UN committee led by Paul Volcker, the other by the US Congress - shift their attention from corruption within the UN to the commercial relations between Baghdad and members of the Security Council.

		The Pasqua laws were enacted in 1993 at the instigation of then-Interior Minister Charles Pasqua, whose vigorous endorsement of "zero immigration" set the tone for recent French policy in refugee and asylum matters.
		The Pasqua laws also contain one notorious gap that has trapped thousands of immigrant families in a legal conundrum: undocumented parents of children who are French citizens cannot legally be expelled, but are prevented by the Pasqua laws from receiving residence papers.
		Doctors from the humanitarian organization Médicins du Monde, who had provided care to the sans-papiers during their protest, condemned the French police for the brutality with which the expulsion was allegedly carried out, noting that several of the Africans forcibly removed from the church had been severely weakened by a prolonged hunger strike.

		One of the Hussein regime’s chief methods of manipulating the OFF Program was through "oil allocations." The attached report shows that Pasqua received 11 million barrels in oil allocations, while Galloway received allocations of 20 million barrels of oil.
		The staff report presents numerous documents from the Hussein-era Ministry of Oil that expressly identify Charles Pasqua and George Galloway as allocation recipients.
		In addition, the evidence shows that Pasqua sought to conceal these transactions because he "feared political scandals." The evidence also indicates that George Galloway may have used a children's cancer foundation in connection with at least one of his allocations.

		Pasqua then switched to speaking about himself in the third person, Bob Dole-style, and said that others may not be so innocent: "Charles Pasqua is not involved, but maybe other former ministers are involved."
		Whatever the truth about Pasqua's own involvement in the Oil-for-Food scam, his comments indicate that the revelations about French corruption in the Duelfer report may represent only the tip of a very big iceberg.
		Pasqua himself is by no means in the clear: The Duelfer report clearly identifies him as a partner in Hussein's plot "to induce France to aid in getting sanctions lifted." What's more, Pasqua is already at the center of a French corruption probe for a set of charges that have nothing to do with Iraq.

	World Press Review - Polygamy - France - Pasqua Law
		The enforcement of this provision has placed certain wives of African immigrants in a dire situation: Either they must separate from their husbands and seek to live on their own, or else they run the risk of not having their residence papers renewed.
		Two years later, the Pasqua law gave a very blunt response to this question: Polygamous foreigners, who had heretofore enjoyed relative tolerance, could eventually keep only one wife in France.
		To put an end to this situation, the Pasqua law set up a kind of paperwork flmail: If a polygamous foreigner wishes to obtain a legal residence card, he has no other choice than to live with only one of his co-spouses, while the other wives must eventually leave the conjugal domicile.

		During 2001, both former French Interior Minister Charles Pasqua and his right hand man, Jean-Charles Marchiani, were also formally cautioned and questioned in relation to this issue; the latter two appear not to have not been formally arrested because they enjoy immunity of prosecution as Members of the European Parliament.
		It was clear to Pasqua and his team that it was US oil interests that were responsible for this change.
