The rights of the defense during the judicial investigation

The promulgation of Law No. 2005/007 of July 27 2005 establishing the Code of Criminal Procedure is sufficient proof of the recognition and adoption of international standards relating to fundamental rights in Cameroon. At the same time this law places criminal procedure at the heart of the major debates in society. Indeed the new organization of the procedure gives a particular relief to the preparatory phase of the trial. Now subject to judicial control this phase is marked by the reintroduction of new measures for the protection of the rights of the defense during the judicial investigation. The purpose of this study is to examine the consecration and guarantee of the rights of the defense during judicial information in Cameroon. If this study has revealed a recognition of the rights of the defense during judicial information in Cameroon it has also allowed us to pronounce on both the technical and practical limits of the new legislative work.
