Abstract
The protection of refugees’ right in any given
society is an essential factor in preserving and ensuring the identity and dignity of such persons. In order to protect
refugees’ status and rights, there is that necessity for the country in
question to implements its laws through the enhancement of its competent institutions vested with
powers in protecting these refugees’taking up residence in their respective territories. The State of Cameroon has contributed
immensely in ensuring that laws enacted for the protection of refugees’
entering, staying, and exiting its territory should be offered some degree of
implementation when dealing with refugees ‘rights and status. These respected laws put in place
will not only be a ground for human right protection of refugees’, but also act
as a tool in enhancing proper implementation of such laws enacted even though some lapses can be identified in the laws.
Enacting laws, conceiving policies, and creating institutions to enhance and
protect refugees’ is one thing, implementing, and enforcing these laws is
another. The government of Cameroon is responsible for the protection of
refugees ‘residing in their territory by providing the refugees’ that maximum
protection in all spheres of necessities. The refugees’ should be able in enjoying a minimum protection
while residing it the territory, and under no circumstance should such a person
be expelled arbitrarily by the country of resident without any justifiable
cause. This paper thus analyses that though the government of Cameroon has
initiated and embraced laudable efforts in seeing that those residing in its
territory are given that maximum protection and prohibiting all manners of
expulsion of such persons, there are lots of discriminatory practices
experienced which have thus provoked some aspect of arbitrarily expulsion of
refugees’ in Cameroon.
