Entry Requirements for the Bailiwick of Guernsey Entry requirements for the Bailiwick of Guernsey • The Bailiwick of Guernsey continues to have testing and self-isolation requirements for persons arriving into the islands. It is the responsibility of the person travelling to the Bailiwick of Guernsey to check the current requirements before they travel and make sure they are prepared. • The requirements for testing and self-isolation differ based on a country or regions classification. Due to its prevalence rate for cases of Covid-19, France has been classified as a category 4 country from 00:01 on 29 July – this means that all arrivals from France are required to self-isolate for at least 14 days on arrival into the Bailiwick of Guernsey. • The country and regional classifications are published at https://covid19.gov.gg/guidance/travel/countries. The list is reviewed on a regular basis and can change at short notice. • If people decline to take a test on arrival they will have to self-isolate for 21 days. • All arrivals are required to register on the Travel Tracker and enter journey details up to 2 days before arrival in the Bailiwick. • From 14 May, Covid tests for people arriving in the Bailiwick are charged at £25 per test. These can be paid for through the Travel Tracker. • You must not leave your place of self-isolation during the period that you are required to self-isolate. This is a legal requirement and failure to comply is a criminal offence. • At this time, the Bailiwick of Guernsey is not currently accepting visiting vessels from Category 3 or Category 4 regions or countries outside of the Common Travel Area (which comprises the UK, Republic of Ireland, Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man). Private vessels visiting from France are not currently accepted in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. This is because the harbour facilities cannot accommodate significant numbers of vessels isolating for seven or more days. Individuals wishing to visit the Bailiwick of Guernsey should arrange travel through commercial air or ferry operators. .

  • The Sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit Era
    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 151-168 The sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories in the Brexit era Maria Mut Bosque School of Law, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, Spain MINECO DER 2017-86138, Ministry of Economic Affairs & Digital Transformation, Spain Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London, UK [email protected] (corresponding author) Abstract: This paper focuses on an analysis of the sovereignty of two territorial entities that have unique relations with the United Kingdom: the Crown Dependencies and the British Overseas Territories (BOTs). Each of these entities includes very different territories, with different legal statuses and varying forms of self-administration and constitutional linkages with the UK. However, they also share similarities and challenges that enable an analysis of these territories as a complete set. The incomplete sovereignty of the Crown Dependencies and BOTs has entailed that all these territories (except Gibraltar) have not been allowed to participate in the 2016 Brexit referendum or in the withdrawal negotiations with the EU. Moreover, it is reasonable to assume that Brexit is not an exceptional situation. In the future there will be more and more relevant international issues for these territories which will remain outside of their direct control, but will have a direct impact on them. Thus, if no adjustments are made to their statuses, these territories will have to keep trusting that the UK will be able to represent their interests at the same level as its own interests.

  • An African Slave in Guernsey by Brycchan Carey
    1 Olaudah Equiano: An African Slave in Guernsey by Brycchan Carey It is sometimes said that there were no slaves in Guernsey and, clearly, the island was not a major centre of slave-trading. However, its geographical position ensured that throughout the era of slavery, approximately from the end of the fifteenth to the middle of the eighteenth centuries, it was visited by ships from major slave-trading ports such as Bristol, Nantes, St. Malo, and Amsterdam, as well as by ships from the many smaller slave-trading towns and villages found in every country in Western Europe. Most of these ships would have carried few or no slaves. The notorious ‘triangular trade’ was so named to describe the process by which European manufactured goods were shipped to Africa, African slaves were shipped to the New World, and the produce of the slave-worked plantations was shipped back to Europe. Most of the ships involved in the slave trade that docked at Guernsey would thus have been carrying hammers, knives, and muskets, or sugar, cotton, and tobacco, rather than a human cargo. Nevertheless, these ships were as much a part of the slave trade as they were when carrying slaves in the middle passage. In addition, although the notion of a ‘triangular trade’ reflects a general pattern of behaviour, in practice there was often considerable deviation from the pattern. Some slaves were indeed brought to Europe, and were sold openly in Bristol, London, and Liverpool, as well as in Nantes, Marseilles, and St. Malo. In the eighteenth century in particular, aristocratic women were presented with child slaves to treat as if they were exotic pets.

  • Sark's Corporate Secrecy and Lax Controls Draw World's Scrutiny By
    Dark Clouds Close In on Utopian British Isle --- Sark's Corporate Secrecy and Lax Controls Draw World's Scrutiny By Neil King Jr. The Wall Street Journal Eastern ed., July 21, 1998: A11. SARK, Channel Islands -- Yes, says the lord of the island, relaxing one morning as a maid flicks a feather duster across the books in his den: Sark is something of a utopia. Crime? "Just the occasional punch'em-up at the pub," he says. Taxes are almost nil. There is an abundance of fresh air and acres of fine farmland, but no civil servants among the 550 Sarkese. Michael Beaumont, the seigneur of Sark since 1974, likes that most of all. "We are blissfully free of bureaucrats," he says. Yet all is not mellow on the Isle of Sark, where Europe's last feudal constitution holds sway on a high patch of granite and gorse between Jersey and Guernsey in the English Channel, far closer to the French mainland, 22 miles to the east, than to the coast of England, 75 miles to the north. Malevolent winds are blowing Sark's way, making one of the world's smallest and most curious offshore havens a lot edgier than normal. Organizations from the United Nations to the World Bank have lined up recently to blast the secrecy and lax controls of the world's offshore centers, and even Sark, swathed in an antique world of its own, is feeling the pressure. Among the locals who putter in their gardens or sip lager at the pub, at least 100 serve as stand-in directors for thousands of shell companies, many of which have gone bust or run afoul of the law elsewhere in the world.

  • Jerusalem and the Riparian Simile Shaul E
    Political Geography 21 (2002) 745–764 www.politicalgeography.com Jerusalem and the riparian simile Shaul E. Cohen a,∗, David A. Frank b a Department of Geography, The University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97303, USA b Robert D. Clark Honors College, The University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403, USA Abstract Many see the city of Jerusalem as an intractable religious political issue, beyond the pale of negotiation and problem solving. This view reflects a set of problematic assumptions, includ- ing beliefs that Jerusalem produces a contest between maximalist claims that only power can resolve. In this article, we conduct a conceptual exercise designed to rethink Jerusalem as an issue of political geography open to needs-based bargaining. Drawing from evidence in the Transboundary Freshwater Dispute Database, we suggest that riparian negotiations offer an analogue that might be used to restructure the discourse used in the negotiations about Jerusa- lem. We propose the use of a riparian simile in which negotiators begin with the assumption that “the conflict over Jerusalem is like international water disputes.” Riparian negotiations encourage movement from sovereign rights to functional needs, the use of time as a flexible variable, a focus on beneficial uses, and the creation of language recognizing local contin- gencies. 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. Keywords: Analogic thinking; Conflict; Jerusalem; Metaphor; Riparian simile; Territory And there are days here when everything is sails and more sails, even though there’s no sea in Jerusalem, not even a river. Everything is sails: the flags, the prayer shawls, the black coats, the monks’ robes, the kaftans and kaffiyehs, young women’s dresses and headdresses, Torah mantles and prayer rugs, feelings that swell in the wind and hopes that set them sailing in other directions.
