Effect given to the recommendations of the committee and the Governing Body
Effect given to the recommendations of the committee and the Governing Body- 29. The Committee examined the present case at its June 2017 meeting [see
382nd Report, paras 190–209], when the Committee requested the complainant organization
– the National Union of Contract Public Teachers of Cameroon (SYNAEEPCAM) – to indicate
the reasons why it did not challenge the results of the 2016 trade union elections
before the courts and also to provide additional information on any actions taken by the
departmental representative of the Ministry of Primary Education with respect to a local
union representative, Mr Innocent Ngwa Folum. The Committee also requested the
Government to inform it of the outcome of the proceedings before the national courts
regarding allegations of preferential treatment with regard to the procedure for
registration of a trade union confederation in Cameroon.
- 30. In its communication dated 5 March 2020, the Government indicates
that the allegations of preferential treatment with regard to the registration procedure
are still under investigation before the national courts and that it remains open to
dialogue with SYNAEEPCAM.
- 31. While regretting the brevity of the information provided by the
Government, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that it is open to dialogue
with SYNAEEPCAM and that the complainant organization has not sent the information
requested in June 2017 concerning the reasons why it did not challenge the results of
the trade union elections before the courts and the situation of its local union
representative. In view of these circumstances, the Committee considers this case closed
and will not pursue its examination.
