The Southern Cameroons was formerly the United Nations Trust Territory of Southern Cameroons under United Kingdom administration (1922–1961). Denied the choice of outright independence from the Trusteeship Council by the United Kingdom representative Sir Andrew Benjamin Cohen in violation of the December 6, 1946 Trusteeship Agreement, UN Resolution 1514 (xv) and the 1959 All-Party Mamfe (Ambazonia) Conference recommendations, the territory in February 1961 voted in a UN Plebiscite to gain independence from the United Kingdom by joining the French-speaking Republic of Cameroon to form a federation of two equal and autonomous states. French-speaking Cameroon quit the federation between 1972 and 1984 and has since that time attempted to tag Southern Cameroons Ambazonia onto herself as divided provinces. English-speaking Southern Cameroons Ambazonia is admitted to the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization.
