Article 55 of the French Constitution

Article 55 of the French Constitution establishes the framework for treaty ratification. It states that treaties or agreements approved or confirmed by France become part of national law once they are published in the Official Journal, with some exceptions requiring parliamentary approval. This means international agreements automatically become enforceable domestically once officially published, unless specified otherwise. The article ensures clarity on how international commitments integrate into French law and emphasizes the importance of transparency and legal consistency in ratification processes.
