Member states of the CEMAC Customs union have adopted international trade law from the World Trade Organization (WTO) through international Treaties and Conventions. The international trade law is considered as the Community Law of the Union, and is governed by well-established principles to ensure compliance. However, the implementation of the trade regime by member states is plagued by poor implementation such as the maintenance of tariff and non-tariff barriers, non-respect of the rule of law, distortion in the application of the common external tariff and the lack of an effective sanctioning mechanism to enforce compliance with its international obligations. This work recommends the effective use of the WTO Compliance Mechanisms such as the Trade Policy Review Mechanism (TPRM) and Participation at the WTO Committees to ensure compliance with their international obligations. It examines the challenges associated with implementation, and concludes with robust recommendations intended to salvage the present drawbacks. This work employs a purely doctrinal research methodology.

In this era of computer technology, computer-related crime as well as cybercrime has become a substantial worldwide threat. The computer has empowered cybercriminals to attack their victims in any part of the world. Transnational crimes are very challenging to track, and more often than not, the offenders are hardly apprehended. Thus, the entire community requires a vigorous and an inclusive effort to identify invaders, preserve evidence, and prosecute those guilty, irrespective of where they are located. This Article contends that irrespective of Cameroon’s relevant laws and regulations against cybercrimes in place, coupled with the various bilateral and multilateral conventions duly ratified the challenges of cybercrimes remains pigheaded and mystifying. This Article intends to analyze the reasons for the rise in cybercrime, the laws in place and the challenges in its prosecution. Through a content analysis of primary and secondary data, we therefore, opine that, proper sensitization needs to be done to avert the spirit of cybercrimes in the cyber space.
