The decision comes ahead of Wednesday’s trial in Paris for alleged accomplices in the massacre that left 12 editorial employees dead at the weekly publication’s office.
The magazine will run a staff editorial that argues reprinting the caricatures is necessary for the trial.
“The only reasons not to stem from political or journalistic cowardice,” the editorial said, CNN reported.
In a statement Tuesday, the publication said the cartoons were “part of history, and one cannot rewrite history, neither can it be erased.”
Seventeen people were killed in a wave of violence at Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket in Paris.
The attackers, Chérif and Said Kouachi and Amedy Coulibaly, were killed by police.
Thirteen men and a woman will appear in court on Wednesday for allegedly providing the perpetrators with weapons and logistics.
The trial will be filmed, a rare occurrence in France reserved for proceedings of historical importance.
