Henri Albert François Joseph Raphaël Alibert (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃ʁi albɛʁ fʁɑ̃swa ʒozɛf ʁafaɛl alibɛʁ]; 17 February 1887 5 June 1963) was a French politician known for his association with the collaborationist regime of Vichy France during World War II. A royalist, traditionalist, and member of Action Française, Alibert was one of the chief ideologues of the constitutional law that transformed the French Third Republic into an authoritarian state under the rule of Marshal Philippe Pétain.
