THE CHRC IN A NUTSHELL

Created by the law n°2019/014 from july 19 2019, the Cameroon Human Rights Commission (CHRC) is the Cameroonian institution in charge of the Promotion and the Protection of Human Rights, including also the Prevention of Torture.

Therefore, it can ask to any administration a study or a report on matters related to its mission and also instigate studies in the field of Human Rights to the benefit of administrations requesting them.

Except for contradictory terms within the law, all authorities have the obligation to provide to the Commission every data and information, alongside any documentation that it might request as part of their investigation process.
