<p>The UK recognises the outcome of the 1961 referendum organised by the UN in which
British Southern Cameroons (the modern Anglophone regions) voted to join La Republique
du Cameroun. UNGA Resolution 1608(XV) endorsed the result of the plebiscite in Southern
Cameroons. The UK respects the territorial integrity of Cameroon. The causes of the
current crisis are deep-rooted and historically complex. We recognise that the history
of this conflict includes the impact of constitutional changes following independence,
particularly on the cultural and political status of the Anglophone minority.</p>
