The Algerian war of independence shifted the Ligue des droits de l’homme toward anticolonialism.

Evidence

Given this, we might ask how the Ligue came to take the apparently pole one position of 2004. The answer seems to be that during the second half of the Algerian war of independence it evolved to an anticolonialist line, under the influence of dissident Socialists who formed the classically New Left Parti Socialiste Unifié, born out of this peak moment of anticolonialism. — James Renton, Ben Gidley (eds.), Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe, 1344
