Welcome!

The system of seeking and administering justice in Cameroon is part of the national strategy to guarantee all citizens their rights and freedoms enshrined in the Preamble of the Constitution. But public trust in law is scarcely cultivated and remains in jeopardy. Many citizens appear to rely only on their own assessments of natural justice and tend to vent their anger wastefully on streets, property or other people!

Even as Cameroon laws are evolving and far from being perfect, compliance with them also entails fairness and impartiality, balance and comprehensiveness. Efforts to live up to these standards are ongoing, but with contents, paces and scales that scarcely match the seriousness and urgency of challenges in the economy and society. Cameroon is lagging on its promise to achieve Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that were agreed at the United Nations (UN) Summit in 2000, and to live up to the mandate of its own Constitution.

The system of justice is failing the people of Cameroon, and the world, and may continue doing so without robust public engagements that hold it to account continually.

Please, join us in efforts to tackle these challenges using various political processes and public interest litigation.
