Pro-independence groups claim that UN Resolution 1608 21 April 1961, which required the UK, the Government of the Southern Cameroons and Republic of Cameroun to engage in talks with a view to agreeing measures for union of the two countries, was not implemented, and that the Government of the United Kingdom was negligent in terminating its trusteeship without ensuring that proper arrangements were made.
Os grupos independentistas reclaman que a Resolución 1608 da ONU do 21 de abril de 1961, que requiriu o Reino Unido, o Goberno de Camerún do Sur e a República de Camerún para entrar en negociacións sobre a unión dos dous territorios, non foi aplicada, e que o Goberno do Reino Unido actuou neglixentemente ó rematar a súa administración sen asegurarse de que fosen levados a cabo os cambios oportunos.
