PGA welcomes the adoption of European Parliament resolution on Cameroon and calls for the immediate release of opposition leader Pr. Maurice Kamto…

The global PGA network calls all relevant bodies of the International Community to take action to restore democracy and human rights under the Rule of Law in Cameroon.

New York, 19 April 2019

Upon the proposal of all political groups, the European Parliament adopted on 18 April 2019, in its last plenary of the 2014-19 legislature, a pivotal resolution condemning the gross human rights violations perpetrated in Cameroon against opponents and dissidents. The resolution condemns the politically motivated arrest of members of the opposition, starting with former presidential candidate Prof. Maurice Kamto, an eminent jurist who served as Judge at the International Court of Justice and member of The Hague Academy of International Law.

The text of the resolution reflects language tabled by PGA Members Ms. Judith Sargentini (MEP, The Netherlands), Ms. Barbara Lochbihler (MEP, Germany), and Heidi Hautala (MEP, Finland) on behalf of the Greens group, and by Ms. Marietje Schaake (MEP, The Netherlands) on behalf of the ALDE group. European Parliament Vice-President, Mr. Fabio Massimo Castaldo (MEP, Italy; PGA member), co-tabled the final text on behalf of the EFDD group.

The global PGA network calls all relevant bodies of the International Community to take action to restore democracy and human rights under the Rule of Law in Cameroon. In particular, PGA calls upon the African Union, the United Nations and all partners of Cameroon, including the European Union within the framework of the revised Cotonou Agreement between the Africa-Caribbean-Pacific (ACP) and the EU, to request the Government of Cameroon to refrain from interfering with the independence and autonomy of Judges and Prosecutors. The authority of Judges and Prosecutors shall not be abused for the purpose of eliminating political opponents of the Government and confining them in detention.

In respect of all political actors within Cameroon, the President of PGA, Ms. Margareta Cederfelt of Sweden, stated:

”   I urge the Presidency of the Republic and all the constitutional actors in the Republic of Cameroon to open a new phase of peaceful dialogue with the political opposition and minority-groups with the view of bringing about democratic renewal for the benefit of all peoples, communities and individuals living in Cameroon. The immediate liberation of Prof. Maurice Kamto would be a clear demonstration that the Republic of Cameroon is ready to be a peaceful and trusted partner of the International Community in the joint struggle for peace, democracy, sustainable development and human rights under the Rule of Law.  ”
