Produktbeschreibung
The primary objective of this book is to promote a conducive business climate in the oil industry in Cameroon. Cameroon is an oil producing nation and like other oil producing countries in Africa, is under a "resource curse". Shedding light in 'dark' areas of contemporary extractive industry in Cameroon is becoming the hallmark of the author. A book on Oil and Gas Law in Cameroon (an area of Natural Resource law not adequately researched on) is very timely. It is justified for addressing the pertinent cases of violation of human rights in the exploration and exploitation of oil in Cameroon. This study argues that the right to development and the right to a healthy environment are inalienable rights of Cameroonians. This suggests that the State and oil multinational corporations have a collective responsibility to ensure that the activities associated with oil exploration and exploitation should be carried out in such a way that will enhance the enjoyment of the right to development and the right to a healthy environment. The book is conveniently written at a time when there are incessant complaints from local communities relating to the conduct of this business to the detriment of their human rights.
