Nouméa Accord

1998 · 20th century

The Nouméa Accord, signed on 5 May 1998 by the French state and New Caledonia's independence and loyalist movements, set out a gradual transfer of powers to the territory over twenty years. It recognised Kanak identity, created a New Caledonian citizenship and provided for up to three referendums on independence, held in 2018, 2020 and 2021, each of which rejected independence.
