Concluding remarks of the State under review 400. The Minister Delegate thanked all speakers for their support and encouragement and reiterated the commitment of Cameroon to fulfil its obligations, not just as a member of the international community but also as a member of the Council itself. Concerning a number of issues that had been raised, Cameroon was in an ongoing process of reform, particularly in the area of the judiciary, where much had been done but much remained to do. Cameroon believed that the promotion and protection of human rights were an integral part of its development process. It was certain that, at the next round, a number of the issues raised would have been resolved. Cameroon was open at all times to comments from all in terms of what could be done to improve the human rights situation in the country. The Minister Delegate expressed the readiness of Cameroon to cooperate with all instances promoting human rights — the United Nations, African or regional bodies — with the assurance that this confluence of cooperation would definitely make the work easier for the country, given that the political will was there.
