Cameroon

Unclear or shifting (AMBIG), since 2025-10-28, points both ways (AMBIGUOUS)

Cameroon's own words point two ways. In 2025 it called for an immediate moratorium on lethal autonomous weapons, which points toward a ban. In 2026 it said it attaches particular importance to the Geneva weapons convention's expert group and that the use of force must stay under human judgment, without naming an instrument. Both statements are in French only, so this reading is a description.
