Pierre Declercq (May 10, 1938 - September 19, 1981) was a French New Caledonian politician and a noted supporter of independence.
Declercq was born in Halluin, Nord, Metropolitan France.[1] He moved to New Caledonia to become a teacher in the 1960s. Later going into politics, he became secretary of the Caledonian Union. The President of the Republic met with him and other members of the CU on 19 September 1981. He was assassinated in his house in Nouméa not long after. His killers have never been apprehended.[citation needed]
