Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this very useful analysis of constitutional law in Cameroon provides essential information on the countryand’s sources of constitutional law, its form of government, and its administrative structure. Lawyers who handle transnational matters will appreciate the clarifications of particular terminology and its application. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes the specific points at which constitutional law affects the interpretation of legal rules and procedure. Thorough coverage by a local expert fully describes the political system, the historical background, the role of treaties, legislation, jurisprudence, and administrative regulations. The discussion of the form and structure of government outlines its legal status, the jurisdiction and workings of the central state organs, the subdivisions of the state, its decentralized authorities, and concepts of citizenship. Special issues include the legal position of aliens, foreign relations, taxing and spending powers, emergency laws, the power of the military, and the constitutional relationship between church and state. Details are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for both practising and academic jurists. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Cameroon will welcome this guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative constitutional law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a systematic analysis of the major structural and institutional governance mechanisms in Cameroon, critically analysing the constitutional and legislative texts on Cameroon’s semi-presidential system, the electoral system, the legislature, the judiciary, the Constitutional Council and the National Commission on Human Rights and Freedoms. The author offers an assessment of the practical application of the laws regulating constitutional institutions and how they impact on governance. To lay the groundwork for the analysis, the book examines the historical, constitutional and political context of governance in Cameroon, from independence and reunification in 1960–1961, through the adoption of the 1996 Constitution, to more recent events including the current Anglophone crisis. Offering novel insights on new institutions such as the Senate and the Constitutional Council and their contribution to the democratic advancement of Cameroon, the book also provides the first critical assessment of the legislative provisions carving out a special autonomy status for the two Anglophone regions of Cameroon and considers how far these provisions go to resolve the Anglophone Problem. This book will be of interest to scholars of public law, legal history and African politics.

Book excerpt: This Book, Civil Disobedience in Cameroon, written by Justice Aloysius Nelson Taku Mbu, reveal the effect of the cumulative events from 1961 to 1990, precipitated by the enlargement of the presidential powers without corresponding safeguards for the protection of freedom under Cameroons advanced democracy. He analyzed the high tide of unitarism, where poverty and inequality dominates to create a class for the poor and the rich by giving favors and encouraging blackmail, mismanagement, falsity, deception and manipulative electioneering. The majority culture further thought that they could freely assimilate and at the same time treat the other minority part as of no significant consequence because they are Lucifers in heaven. [les enemies dans la maison] The immediate result was a nonviolent civil disobedience which began in Bamenda. The Cameroonians of English expression hold dearly that [1] benevolent freedom is an essential element in the content of all democratic constitutions [2] it is incorporated as a contract between the citizens and the government to guarantee good governance and protection for their persons, property, liberty and happiness without let or hindrance; [3] freedom is both a blessing and birthright from God, and [4] on it fundamental human rights are planted, nurtured and blossom to bring dignity, love and peace profound to all and sundry. The government failed in its ploy for good governance, resorted to threats, intimidation, and force to oppress the people without the litmus test. Justice Mbu has been an eye witness to the events of this transformation in political, social and economic changes that make Cameroon never to be the same again. He is retired with his family and resides in Maryland USA.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Republic of Cameroon which came into existence on October 1, 1961, is made up of former Southern Cameroons which was administered by the British Government as an integral part of her Colony of Nigeria, and the Republic of Cameroon - a former trust territory under French Administration. Thus West Cameroon (i.e. former Southern Cameroons) was endowed with a legal system akin to that of Nigeria, and therefore of Great Britain, and East Cameroon (i.e. the former Republic of Cameroon) was endowed with the French legal system. This thesis, the first of its kind, attempts to trace the development of the laws and constitution of Cameroon within the framework not only of these two major foreign legal systems, but also of the indigenous systems. The work is divided into three Parts comprising of twelve chapters. Part I, comprising only of Chapter I, deals with a general historical and ethnographic survey of Cameroon. An attempt has been made, particularly in connection with the historical introduction, to piece together the various treaties and agreements which gave Cameroon her present boundaries. Part II comprises of Chapters II - IV. Chapter II deals with the administration, by the French and British Governments, within the framework of the Mandate and Trusteeship systems, of their respective parts of Cameroon. Attention is also paid to the political and constitutional developments leading to independence and reunification. These include the United Nations conducted plebiscites in the Cameroons and the Cameroons: case at the International Court of Justice which arose therefrom. Chapter III is devoted to an analysis of the Federal and Federated State constitutions while Chapter IV deals with the courts and legal profession in Cameroon. Part III comprises Chapters V - XII, each of which deals with a specific subject. Thus Chapter V traces the Sources of Law in Cameroon while Chapter VI deals with Procedure and Evidence. The five others deal respectively with Criminal Law, Civil Law (i.e. Contract and Tort), Commercial Law, Land Law and Family Law. Chapter XII deals briefly with the attempts, few as they are, which have been made to integrate the law. In each of the chapters in this part, we have tried to deal with both the French and English law on each topic, the aim being to point out where they are different and to make suggestions for dealing with such differences. Although these suggestions have sometimes come out either in favour of French or English law where either system was thought better, we have not ceased to emphasize the tremendous advantage in being able to produce new laws based on the best from both systems.
