NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LAWS
|
CCDHR understands that a vibrant civil society is
predicated on access to the right information. We are committed to
enhancing the peoples’ knowledge on the laws that affect their daily
lives. CCDHR recognizes that an informed civil society is an
essential component to the democratization process of any country.
This CCDHR project seeks to facilitate and enhance the public’s
access to the most import laws in Cameroon, specifically those that
fall within CCDHR program areas. Besides Cameroon laws, the Cam Laws
project also enable the public to access other international
treaties, conventions, and reports on Cameroon. We have attempted to
upload national legislations (Cameroon Laws) that are most relevant
to our programs. A link is also provided to enable easy access to
the government website where a search can be conducted for other
laws, decree, and orders.
Besides national laws, our Cam Laws project also link to
specific international treaties and report pertinent to our
programs. These documents have merely been linked to, not uploaded
onto our website. They include African Union Instruments, United
Nations Instruments, US State Department Human Rights Reports on
Cameroon, Amnesty International Annual Human Rights Reports on
Cameroon, and Cameroon's Periodic Reports to United Nations Treaty
Bodies. They can be accessed by clicking on the relevant link on our
website. Please follow the links below to review or access various
laws, conventions, and reports on Cameroon. We welcome your
suggestions on laws or other important documents you deem necessary
for inclusion under this project. Send email to
