Federal Republic of Cameroon

On 11 and 12 February 1961, two separate plebiscites were administered by the United Nations in the territories of the British Southern and Northern British Cameroons respectively. Final returns announced on February 15 showed that while the people of the Northern British Cameroons favored union with the Federation of Nigeria, the territory of the Southern British Cameroons voted to attain her independence by joining La Republique du Cameroun. On 21 April 1961, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution accepting the results of the plebiscites on the future of the Southern and Northern British Cameroons.

Southern British Cameroons

1. Southern British Cameroons was part of the United Nations Trust Territory of the Cameroons under United Kingdom’s Administration. The Trusteeship Agreement between the United Nations and the United Kingdom was signed on 13 December 1946.

2. The name, Southern British Cameroons, comes from the fact that the British Administering Authority had divided the Trust Territory into a Southern and Northern part, even while the territory was still a League of Nations mandated territory. Southern British Cameroons was created by the British Order in Council of June 26, 1923. By this act of the colonial authority, the Southern British Cameroons became a distinct territory from Northern British Cameroons within the international system, and a unit of self-determination.
