INTRODUCTION 1. This is the fourth periodic report of the State of Cameroon, submitted to Human Rights Committee pursuant to article 40 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and in accordance with the guidelines on periodic reports adopted by the Human Rights Committee. 2. This fourth periodic report covers the period 1998 to 2008. The subjects which were dealt with in the previous reports and which remained unchanged during the period covered by this report are not commented on. 3. The present report outlines key measures adopted in Cameroon, since the last report, to enhance the implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. However, relevant developments which occurred prior to the period under consideration, and which were not included in the last periodic report, have equally been mentioned. 4. After the presentation of the third report, it has not been possible until now to submit another one. We would like, nonetheless, to emphasize that Cameroon attaches great importance to the work of the United Nations treaty mechanisms on monitoring compliance with human rights and, in particular, to the reporting procedure under the Covenant, which entrusts the Human Rights Committee with the delicate task of considering state party reports. 5. The Human Rights Committee considered the third periodic report of Cameroon (CCPR/C/102/Add.2) at its 1798th to 1800th meetings (CCPR/C/SR.1798-SR.1800), held on 27 and 28 October 1999, and adopted at its 1807th and 1808th meetings held on 3 November 1999. The following observations were made: The Committee noted that the third periodic report of Cameroon was incomplete and did not address all of the concerns expressed by the Committee in its previous concluding observations (CCPR/C/79/Add.33) on Cameroon’s second periodic report: • It welcomed, however, the updated information, including written information and legislative texts, provided by the delegation • It further welcomed the willingness of the State party to make additional submissions in writing

  • Predicted Distribution and Burden of Podoconiosis in Cameroon
    Predicted distribution and burden of podoconiosis in Cameroon. Supplementary file Text 1S. Formulation and validation of geostatistical model of podoconiosis prevalence Let Yi denote the number of positively tested podoconiosis cases at location xi out of ni sample individuals. We then assume that, conditionally on a zero-mean spatial Gaussian process S(x), the Yi are mutually independent Binomial variables with probability of testing positive p(xi) such that ( ) = + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) 1 ( ) � � 0 1 2 3 4 5 − + ( ) + ( ) 6 where the explanatory in the above equation are, in order, fraction of clay, distance (in meters) to stable light (DSTL), distance to water bodies (DSTW), elevation (E), precipitation(Prec) (in mm) and fraction of silt at location xi. We model the Gaussian process S(x) using an isotropic and stationary exponential covariance function given by { ( ), ( )} = { || ||/ } 2 ′ − − ′ Where || ||is the Euclidean distance between x and x’, is the variance of S(x) and 2 is a scale − pa′rameter that regulates how fast the spatial correlation decays to zero for increasing distance. To check the validity of the adopted exponential correlation function for the spatial random effects S(x), we carry out the following Monte Carlo algorithm. 1. Simulate a binomial geostatistical data-set at observed locations xi by plugging-in the maximum likelihood estimates from the fitted model. 2. Estimate the unstructured random effects Zi from a non-spatial binomial mixed model obtained by setting S(x) =0 for all locations x. 3. Use the estimates for Zi from the previous step to compute the empirical variogram. 4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for 10,000 times.

Un questionnaire a donc été soumis à 40 pisciculteurs dans 7 des 9 Arrondissements du Département. Les résultats obtenus révèlent que : seulement 26,39% des 144 étangs dénombrés sont actifs. Les pisciculteurs sont à 95% des hommes de tranche d’âge majoritaire comprise entre 50 et 59 ans (40%) ; de profession dominante l’agriculture (37,50%). Bafia est l’ethnie majoritaire (47,50%) et le christianisme est le plus rependue (77,50%).

  • Agro-Industrial Investments in Cameroon Large-Scale Land Acquisitions Since 2005
    Agro-industrial investments in Cameroon Large-scale land acquisitions since 2005 Samuel Nguiffo and Michelle Sonkoue Watio Land, Investment and Rights As pressures on land and natural resources increase, disadvantaged groups risk losing out, particularly where their rights are insecure, their capacity to assert these rights is limited, and major power imbalances shape relations with government and incoming investors. IIED’s Land, Investment and Rights series generates evidence around changing pressures on land, multiple investment models, applicable legal frameworks and ways for people to claim rights. Other reports in the Land, Investment and Rights series can be downloaded from www.iied.org/pubs. Recent titles include: • Understanding agricultural investment chains: Lessons to improve governance. 2014. Cotula et al. • Accountability in Africa’s land rush: what role for legal empowerment. 2013. Polack et al. Also available in French. • Long-term outcomes of agricultural investments: Lessons from Zambia. 2012. Mujenja and Wonani. • Agricultural investments and land acquisitions in Mali: Context, trends and case studies. 2013. Djiré et al. Also available in French. • Joint ventures in agriculture: Lessons from land reform projects in South Africa. 2012. Lahiff et al. Also available in French. Under IIED’s Legal Tools for Citizen Empowerment programme, we also share lessons from the innovative approaches taken by citizens’ groups to claim rights, from grassroots action and engaging in legal reform, to mobilising international human rights bodies and making use of grievance mechanisms, through to scrutinising international investment treaties, contracts and arbitration. Lessons by practitioners are available on our website at www.iied.org/pubs. Recent reports include: • Walking with villagers: How Liberia’s Land Rights Policy was shaped from the grassroots.
