<p>I met the Cameroonian Commonwealth Minister Mbayu and the then Foreign Secretary
met Prime Minister Yang at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in April.
We both pressed for action to resolve the ongoing dispute in the Anglophone regions
and for adherence to core Commonwealth values and principles, including tolerance,
respect and understanding.</p><p>The UK ensured that the European Union Statement
at the Human Rights Council meeting, in Geneva in June, included a call for access
to the Anglophone regions of Cameroon for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
(UNHCHR). We also welcomed the statement by the UNHCHR, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, at
that meeting, in which he called for the Cameroonian authorities swiftly to approve
a mission by his Office to all parts of the country. We will continue to work with
international partners and through Ministerial engagement and our High Commission
in Yaoundé to urge the Cameroonians to allow UNHCHR unhindered access.</p>
