Ministry of Justice: Draft 2015 Human Rights Report Reviewed

A two-day workshop for stakeholders ends today, June 8, 2016 in Yaounde.

The 2015 Report of the Ministry of Justice on the Human Rights situation in Cameroon is in the making with innovations such as a chapter on Human Rights and the Fight Against Terrorism. Stakeholders from judicial services, ministries, independent human rights organisations as well as technical and financial partners, started meeting in a two-day workshop yesterday, June 7, 2016 in Yaounde to review the draft.

While opening the workshop, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Justice, George Gwanmesia, underscored that the security context marked by the fight against Boko Haram and the need to guarantee human rights, saying this has brought to the limelight the need to recall the inalienable, universal and indivisible nature of human rights. He urged the stakeholders to avoid endless arguments but give a second look at the contributions they earlier made, to produce a document of quality.

Produced annually since 2005 by the Ministry of Justice, the 2015 Human Rights Report is conducted on the basis of information and contributions forwarded to the Ministry of Justice on major events in 2015. Other innovations in the 247-page draft report under review include a penitentiary map, extensive presentations on internally displaced people, and the right to land. More so, the chapters that make up the documents’ three parts are written invariably in English and French.
