International Human Rights Council Meets with Cameroon’s Foreign Ministry for Global Cooperation

The International Human Rights Council (IHRC), accredited by the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), recently held a significant meeting in Cameroon. During this meeting, IHRC Deputy Director and Special Status Attorney, Aeri Collins, along with other executive members of the council, met with Mr. Omar Chinmoun, Secretary General of Cameroon’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at his office. The main focus of this discussion was to address global human rights issues and explore potential areas for mutual cooperation.

Attorney Aeri Collins presented a coordination letter on behalf of the high representative of foreign affairs, which centered on enhancing coordination and strengthening cooperation between the two entities. Through this letter, a special proposal was extended to Cameroon’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to adopt a global approach to human rights. Additionally, IHRC Ambassador Dr. Haisam Bou-Said handed over a crucial memorandum to Secretary General Chinmoun, which included detailed proposals and recommendations on various human rights issues. Secretary General Chinmoun accepted and approved the memorandum.

The meeting covered an in-depth discussion on the current state of global and regional human rights, measures for enhancing human welfare, and various issues related to human rights violations. Both IHRC and Cameroon’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs agreed on a joint approach toward human rights and explored ways to strengthen cooperation.

The objective of this meeting was not only to support human rights in Cameroon but also to take necessary steps to empower human rights on a global level. This laid a foundation for stronger coordination and collaboration between the International Human Rights Council and Cameroon’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the future.
