We are proud to highlight the participation of our partner Pierre-Olivier Savoie and Caroline Defois, in the ongoing International Court of Justice (ICJ) proceedings in The Hague from December 2nd to 13th, 2024. These historic hearings address state obligations under international law concerning climate change, with 98 states and 12 international organizations presenting their statements.
On December 3rd, 2024, Pierre-Olivier Savoie, representing the Republic of Cameroon, delivered an oral statement alongside H.E. Madam Madeleine Liguemoh Ondoua, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Cameroon to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. This collaboration reflects Cameroon’s commitment to contributing meaningfully to this critical global dialogue on climate accountability and justice.
The proceedings aim to clarify states’ legal responsibilities to combat climate change and the consequences of inaction—an essential step toward shaping a more sustainable and just future for all nations.
The full statement from Cameroon can be viewed on the ICJ website.
