Cameroon Anglophone Crisis: Donald Trump message to the Congress to terminte trade benefits for Cameroon over increasing human right violations
STATEMENTS & RELEASES
Message to the Congress
In accordance with section 506A(a)(3)(B) of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 2466a(a)(3)(B)), I am providing notice of my intent to
terminate the designation of the Republic of Cameroon (Cameroon) as a
beneficiary sub-Saharan African country under the African Growth and
Opportunity Act (AGOA).
I am taking this step because I have determined that the Government of
Cameroon currently engages in gross violations of internationally
recognized human rights, contravening the eligibility requirements of section
104 of the AGOA.
Despite intensive engagement between the United States and the
Government of Cameroon, Cameroon has failed to address concerns regarding
persistent human rights violations being committed by Cameroonian security
forces. These violations include extrajudicial killings, arbitrary and
unlawful detention, and torture.
Accordingly, I intend to terminate the designation of Cameroon as a
beneficiary sub-Saharan African country under the AGOA as of January 1,
2020. I will continue to assess whether the Government of Cameroon
engages in gross violations of internationally recognized human rights, in
accordance with the AGOA eligibility requirements.
DONALD J. TRUMP
THE WHITE HOUSE,
October 31, 2019.
