<p>On 13 December the UN Security Council received a briefing from the UN Special
Representative for the UN Regional Office in Central Africa. The UK set out the need
for the Government of Cameroon to address the situation in the Anglophone regions
of the country through inclusive dialogue, confidence-building measures such as releasing
detainees, decentralisation and implementing the bilingualism committee's recommendations,
allowing full humanitarian and human rights access, and ensuring accountability for
violations. The UK announced £2.5 million funding for the UN humanitarian response.
We will continue to urge the UN to take an active role in addressing the crisis. The
Commonwealth is well placed to support the Government of Cameroon to build a meaningful
and inclusive dialogue. The UK will continue to discuss the situation in Cameroon
with the Commonwealth Secretariat and other member states where appropriate, as it
does a range of issues relating to the Commonwealth's fundamental political values,
which are enshrined in the Commonwealth Charter.</p>
