Why Only the UK and UN Have Jurisdiction, and Why Everyone Else Has Zero Power

That is the full list.
There is no third actor.
There is no substitute.
There is no hidden backdoor.

Everything else is noise.

1. Why the United States Has No Jurisdictional Power

Many of our people confuse influence with authority.

Yes, the United States is powerful.
Yes, the United States sits in the UN.
Yes, the United States can comment or advise.

But jurisdiction is not influence.

The UN is not America, and America is not the UN.
Membership in the UN does not give the United States the right to decide the fate of a trust territory.

They can speak.
They cannot adjudicate.
They cannot finalize the process.
They cannot negotiate the status of Southern Cameroons.

The United States has zero legal standing in this case.

2. Why La République du Cameroun Has No Jurisdictional Power

This point must be understood without confusion or compromise.

LRC was never the administering authority.
LRC was never the supervising authority.
LRC never signed a treaty with Southern Cameroons.
LRC never received a UN mandate to manage the territory.
LRC never received a delegation of authority from the UK or the UN.

Instead, they extended their administration into a trust territory illegally and relied on the ignorance of the people to sustain it.

Legally, they have no power to:

negotiate the status of Southern Cameroons
decide its political future
claim sovereignty
detain its people
impose laws or taxes
run elections
deploy administrators
govern any part of the territory

Every action LRC performs in Southern Cameroons is ultra vires, meaning outside their legal authority.

3. Why France, Nigeria, the African Union, and ECOWAS Have Zero Power

Many of our people assume powerful or nearby states can determine our future. That assumption is false.

France

No mandate.
No trusteeship role.
No jurisdiction.
No legal authority of any kind.

Nigeria

It is only a neighboring state.
It has no trusteeship responsibility.
It has no power to decide the status of Southern Cameroons.

African Union and ECOWAS

Continental organizations cannot override UN Trusteeship law.
The trusteeship system predates the AU and ECOWAS.
Neither body can legalize an illegal union.
Neither can complete decolonization on behalf of the UN.

Their power is political, but their jurisdiction is zero.

4. Why Only the UK and UN Are Legally Competent

The United Kingdom

The UK was the Administering Authority assigned by the UN.
The UK was responsible for leading Southern Cameroons to a completed decolonization.
The UK left without completing the mandated process.
Therefore, the decolonization file remains open.

The United Nations

The UN supervised the territory under written international law.
The UN was required to confirm completion of the process.
The UN never confirmed it.
Therefore, the UN retains responsibility.

No other country or institution can override this legal structure.

This is not politics.
This is international law.

5. Why You Must Frame the Case Correctly

Our people need to understand something critical.

Using the wrong terms leads to the wrong solutions.
Using emotional labels invites the wrong actors.
Using propaganda weakens the case.

This is not tribal politics.
This is not a street argument.
This is not about who shouts the loudest.
This is not about personal opinions.

This is a legal file in the UN system.
Legal files require accuracy, precision, and discipline.

When the movement misframes the issue:

we invite mediators who have no authority
we legitimize actors who have zero jurisdiction
we weaken our case
we confuse our own people
we allow LRC to manipulate the narrative
we damage our credibility internationally

Words matter.
Precision matters.
Legal framing determines legal outcomes.

6. The Exact Message Our People Must Hear

Here is the message that must become our national operating principle:

“Under Trusteeship law, only the United Kingdom and the United Nations have jurisdiction over the status of Southern Cameroons. The United States has no jurisdiction. France has no jurisdiction. Nigeria has no jurisdiction. The African Union and ECOWAS have no jurisdiction. La République du Cameroun has zero jurisdiction. This is not about who is powerful. It is about who has legal authority.”

This is the foundation of our case.

Everything else is commentary.
