African Human Rights Commission Rules on Bakweri vs. Cameroon Land Case

• The Bakweri have a Strong Case Backed by History and Law
• The BLCC has the Mandate to Speak on Behalf of the Bakweri
• The BLCC and Cameroun should seek an “Amicable Settlement” of Land Dispute.

Following its ratification by the Summit of the African Union, the African Commission on Human & Peoples' Rights has published its ruling on the matter of the Bakweri Land Claims Committee (BLCC) Vs Cameroon (Communication 260/2002) after a two-year delay.

In its ruling, the Commission sided with all the arguments put forth by the BLCC, disagreed with the objections of the Government of Cameroon, and called for an amicable settlement of the matter under its auspices.
