The continued abduction and killing of civilians violate the basic protections outlined in International Laws, demanding urgent global condemnation.

Systematic Human Rights Violations in Ambazonia

The unlawful abduction and killing of Ambazonian civilians by Cameroon Occupation Forces have led to widespread human rights violations.

Such actions directly violate International Laws, including the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, which guarantees the right to life, security, and freedom from arbitrary detention. The killing of civilians is part of the ongoing oppression faced by the people of Ambazonia under occupation.

Urgent Need for Justice for Victims

The International community must take immediate action to address the unlawful killing of civilians by Cameroon Occupation Forces. International Laws mandate that perpetrators of war crimes be brought to justice before the International Criminal Court. The continued abduction of Ambazonian civilians must not be ignored. Immediate international intervention is necessary to prevent further atrocities and protect the lives of the Ambazonian people.
