État de siège

État de siège, or state of siege, is a legal measure used by a government to temporarily increase authority during emergencies such as war, rebellion, or widespread unrest. It allows authorities to implement restrictions on movement, suspend certain civil rights, and deploy military forces to restore order. This status is declared by the government and typically requires legislative approval. It is designed to manage extreme situations effectively, balancing security needs with personal freedoms, and is usually limited in duration and scope to prevent abuse of power.
