Cameroon has lost its position as one of the most peaceful countries in Africa and the world over the previous decade. Experts and commentators have written extensively about the consequences of the Anglophone crisis, focusing on economic development and political implications. Regrettably, little has been done to protect Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) residing in the affected areas. The 2010 law aimed to safeguard and advance the rights of PWDs does not explicitly address their protection during armed conflicts. As a result, there is often little or no regard for their rights as civilians in such situations. This study therefore examines the legal safeguards available to people with disabilities in the North West and South West regions during this crisis period. This study examines the various legislative measures established to safeguard the rights of PWD during armed conflicts. The findings highlight that the existing legal frameworks, such as the Geneva Conventions and their additional protocols, are inadequate and frequently violated by combatants, specifically in non-international armed conflicts, such as the one occurring in Cameroon. To improve accountability and the protection of PWDs during these conflicts, it is essential to strengthen collaborating government bodies, civil society, and disability organizations Centre for Human Rights LLM (Disability Rights in Africa) Unrestricted Faculty of Laws SDG-10: Reduces inequalities 2025-07-01T13:43:41Z 2025-07-01T13:43:41Z 2025-09 2025-06 Mini Dissertation * S2025 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/103077 Disclaimer Letter en © 2024 University of Pretoria.
