The remobilisation meeting organised by Prof James Mouangue Kobila on 11 January 2024 was a great moment of sharing. Before the meeting began, a minute’s silence was observed in memory of Commissioner Salihou LABARANG, who died on the night of the 25 and 26 of December 2023 and whose memory, said the Chairperson, “is inscribed deep within us, in the tenderest part of our hearts”.

The Chairperson wished everyone a “fertile and prosperous year, colored in your favourite shades, with peace of mind”. He also wished “that the New Year will enable us to raise the stature of human dignity even higher”.

During the meeting, the current Chairperson of the Cameroon Human Rights Commission (CHRC) reminded the Commissioners and all staff members that this year should be a year of remobilisation. “I congratulate you for the work you did last year. This year, we must focus more on work and sincere cooperation, and turn our backs on imperfections and harmful practices. Everyone must carry out his or her work in 2024,” advised Prof James Mouangue Kobila.

After presenting the major challenges for 2024 for the institution for which he is responsible, including certain activities to be carried out, the commissioners discussed the budget. Some good news was announced, notably the full payment of all arrears owed to commissioners and staff. These assurances drew smiles from the audience. The year 2024, in the Institution will be an important year for the CHRC and for the promotion and protection of human rights in Cameroon.
