From Includipedia, the inclusionist encyclopedia
Roland Dumas (b. 23 August 1922 in Limoges, Haute-Vienne) is a lawyer and French Socialist (PS) politician who served as Minister of European Affairs (19 July to 7 December, 1984) and Minister of External Affairs (7 December, 1984 - 20 March, 1986) under Laurent Fabius. He again served the Republic as chief diplomat in the Rocard, Cresson, and Bérégovoy cabinets (12 May, 1988 - 29 March, 1993) and later became President of France's Constitutional Council (1995 to 1999).
Whilst President of the Constitutional Counsel, the body argued in favour of complete judicial immunity for the French President--a controversial decision given both Jacques Chirac and Dumas's numerous scandals[citation needed].
In May 2007, Dumas received a 12 months jail sentence (supended) for funds he mis-appropriated acting as executioner of the will of the widow of Alberto Giacometti.
M. Dumas is a member of the Emergency Committee for Iraq. He is a graduate of the Paris Institute of Political Studies (also known as Sciences Po).
