The Code of Entry and Residence of Foreigners and of the Right to Asylum[1] (French: Code de l'entrée et du séjour des étrangers et du droit d'asile, CESEDA) is the legal code compiling French laws and regulations related to the rights of foreigners on French soil. It was created on November 24, 2004 by order of Dominique de Villepin, then French minister of the Interior in the government led by Jean-Pierre Raffarin.

History

After World War II, the French foreigner's law was constantly modified. On November 2, 1945 an order set the rules concerning the entry and residence of foreigners in French territory. Between 1993 and 2003, the law was modified every year. This made the law complex and hard to grasp. The codification aimed to resolve legal inconsistencies and to improve coherence.

The code was created by a November 24, 2004[2] order proposed by Dominique de Villepin. It follows the prescriptions passed on November 2, 1945[3] concerning the conditions of entry and residence of foreigners, and the July 25, 1952 law on asylum right. It came into force on March 1, 2005. The regulation was published on November 15, 2006.[4]
