Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, grade: A, University of Buea, course: Law 498, language: English, abstract: This research seeks to examine the right to self-determination by so doing emphasis have been laid on the case of Southern Cameroon by tracing the origin of the quest for self-determination by the Southern Cameroonians. Despite all efforts made by the Southern Cameroonians for their right to self-determination to be recognized, the international community seems to give a deaf ear to this call. The overall purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which the Southern Cameroonians have the right to self-determination. This research or this study adopt a doctrinal approach methodology which is in line with Orthodox legal research. Findings therefore reveals that the quest for self-determination by the Southern Cameroonians is still to gain an international recognition though it is strongly argued that the divide between the Anglophone and francophone Cameroonians was a colonial creation. Conclusively this researcher argues that a return to the 1961 federal constitution will go a long way to address the Anglophone problem in Cameroon and thus put an end to the persistent call by Southern Cameroonians for the recognition of their right to self-determination. It is therefore recommended that the structure of the country should be built on the 1961 Federal Constitution and the country should return to a two state federation as conceived in the Foumban Constitutional Conference.
