Prayers
10.
The Complainant prays to the Commission as follows:
a. In the light of the current jurisprudence of the Commission as enunciated
in Communication 266/2003, Communication 260/2002 should now be
declared admissible, on grounds that there are no judicial domestic
remedies to be exhausted in the Respondent State on a matter touching
the State, since the President of Cameroon is constitutionally the Chief
Magistrate/Judge of Respondent State’s judiciary.
b. Request the Respondent State to organize a delegation to the next Session
of the Commission, to dialogue with a delegation from BLCC, in an
endeavor to seek an amicable settlement of the dispute, under the
auspices of the Commission.
c. A reminder to H.E. President Paul Biya that the Restraining Request of
22nd May 2003 issued pursuant to Rule 111(3) of the Rules of Procedure of
the Commission, to the effect that no further alienation of the disputed
Cameroon Development Corporation (CDC) lands, is still in force until a
final decision is taken on the matter before the Commission.
