CAMEROONIAN INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC POLICY AT THE SERVICE OF THE PRINCIPLE OF EQUALITY IN FAMILY LAW

ABSTRACT: In the current challenge of the globalisation with flows of people, the approach to family lawthrough the prism of the principle of equality is giving rise to a new family order, which aims to bring Statestogether around common values. In terms of international conflicts of laws, the mechanism of internationalpublic policy finds in these values a new universal, transnational foundation, which systematises its interventionwhenever equality is violated. Cameroonian family law, not being in rest of its mutations, will be likely toexperience reinforcement in the original function of Cameroonian international public policy, which isbecoming an instrument for the protection of universal values.

Keywords: International public policy, equality, family, forum, international law disputes.
