Summary/Abstract: Law no. 2014/28 of 23 December 2014 on the suppression of acts of terrorism in Cameroon was enacted in a context characterized by the resurgence of terrorism. But the caution with which it was greeted raises questions about the formal technique used by the legislator. A content analysis of this law, we come to two conclusions: First the legality principle is violated because the offense is not defined and it is formulated in vague terms. Second, the prominence it gives to mobile and indifference of the means used in the commission of the offense exalt guilt.
