President Emmanuel Macron presided over the event, which marked Badinter’s induction into the nation’s most revered memorial.
Badinter, who died in February 2024 at the age of 95, is remembered as a moral and legal figure who helped reshape France’s justice system. Although not physically buried at the Panthéon, five symbolic objects representing his life’s work were placed inside the tomb, reflecting his lifelong dedication to justice and human dignity.
