20 Jan 2013
The purpose of this request is to bring to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination's attention the imminent enactment of a new Forest Law in Cameroon. The submitting organisations Okani, CED and FPP highlight that both the process of reform and the contents of the proposed new law are racially discriminatory towards indigenous peoples.
