    PRESS RELEASE No: 153/2019 Date: 5th March 2019 CyberCenturion Finals Three Gibraltar teams competing in the CyberCenturion finals leave for London on Wednesday 6th March. The finals are being hosted at Queen Elizabeth Park in London on Thursday 7th March. This is the first time that an under 14 team has qualified for the finals of the competition. The teams are being accompanied by teachers from Bayside Comprehensive School, trainers from GVC Holdings and the University of Gibraltar’s Director of ICT. The two over 14 teams secured their place in the top 10 of their qualifying rounds, with the Under 14 team qualifying in the Top 5 of their category. The teams overcame three qualifying rounds, all held in the University of Gibraltar, to qualify from over 300 teams that entered. Qualifying rounds were based on insecure Linux and Windows operating systems. Overall, eight operating systems were secured during these rounds. The teams have been preparing for the finals by undergoing specialist training that has been provided by the security team at GVC Holdings. The hoodies for all team members have been sponsored by EY accountants, with Gibtelecom supplying two broadband lines for students to use during training their sessions. There is no doubt that this support from the private sector plays a huge part in the teams' successes so far. The Minister for Education, John Cortes, said: “Once again I congratulate our Cyber Centurion teams for qualifying and wish them the best of luck in the finals this week. As usual, they have already done us proud.

  • 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.

  • Gibraltar's Constitutional Future
    RESEARCH PAPER 02/37 Gibraltar’s Constitutional 22 MAY 2002 Future “Our aims remain to agree proposals covering all outstanding issues, including those of co-operation and sovereignty. The guiding principle of those proposals is to build a secure, stable and prosperous future for Gibraltar and a modern sustainable status consistent with British and Spanish membership of the European Union and NATO. The proposals will rest on four important pillars: safeguarding Gibraltar's way of life; measures of practical co-operation underpinned by economic assistance to secure normalisation of relations with Spain and the EU; extended self-government; and sovereignty”. Peter Hain, HC Deb, 31 January 2002, c.137WH. In July 2001 the British and Spanish Governments embarked on a new round of negotiations under the auspices of the Brussels Process to resolve the sovereignty dispute over Gibraltar. They aim to reach agreement on all unresolved issues by the summer of 2002. The results will be put to a referendum in Gibraltar. The Government of Gibraltar has objected to the process and has rejected any arrangement involving shared sovereignty between Britain and Spain. Gibraltar is pressing for the right of self-determination with regard to its constitutional future. The Brussels Process covers a wide range of topics for discussion. This paper looks primarily at the sovereignty debate. It also considers how the Gibraltar issue has been dealt with at the United Nations.

  • Brexit Referendum in Gibraltar. Result and Effect Northern Ireland7 with the Average Turnout of 70,9%
    Białostockie Studia Prawnicze 2019 vol. 24 nr 1 DOI: 10.15290/bsp.2019.24.01.07 Bartłomiej H. Toszek University of Szczecin [email protected] ORCID ID: http://orcid.org/ 0000-0003-2989-7168 Brexit Referendum in Gibraltar. Result and Eff ect Abstract: Almost complete unanimity of the small Gibraltar community during 2016 referendum on Brexit remained nearly unnoticed because of including this British Overseas Territory into “combined electoral region” with South West England where most of people were in favour of the United Kingdom withdrawing from the European Union. No political diff erences with the UK (i.e. England and Wales) but concern about future possibilities of economic development outside the Single Market stimulated an intense discussion among the Gibraltarians. Th e vision of being non-subject of the EU’s four freedoms (i.e. damage or lost present prosperity basis) would force Gibraltar to re-orientate its economic relations especially by creating and developing new trade links which could gradually replace the existing ones. Despite that Gibraltarians have consequently rejected Spanish proposals of remaining inside the Single Market for the price of sharing sovereignty between the UK and Spain. It is therefore beyond doubt that the people of Gibraltar can be characterised as more British than European. Keywords: Brexit, European Union, Gibraltar, United Kingdom Th e specifi city of Gibraltar’s referendum on Brexit expressed itself not only because it was the fi rst time for any British Overseas Territory (BOT) to participate in the United Kingdom-wide referendum but also because the Gibraltarians were straight included in the decision-making process related to one of the most important question in the UK’s modern history.

  • The Hon F Picardo, Chief Minister
    HER MAJESTY’S GOVERNMENT OF GIBRALTAR THE CHIEF MINISTER TEXT OF AN ADDRESS BY HON FABIAN PICARDO MP UNITED NATIONS COMMITTEE OF 24 ON DECOLONISATION WEDNESDAY 12TH JUNE 2013 ADDRESS TO THE UNITED NATIONS COMMITTEE OF 24 GIBRALTAR CHIEF MINISTER : HON FABIAN PICARDO MP Mr Chairman This is my second appearance before your Committee as Chief Minister of Gibraltar and I am accompanied by the Deputy Chief Minister Dr Garcia. Mr Chairman three hundred years ago next month, the Kingdom of Spain ceded Gibraltar to the United Kingdom under the terms of the Treaty of Utrecht of 1713 - I quote - “to be held and enjoyed absolutely with all manner of right for ever, without any exception or impediment whatsoever”. That is an absolute cessation of a territory if ever there was one. As many of you will know, the Treaty also prevented the presence of Jews and Moors in Gibraltar and banned trade with the adjoining areas of Spain. Yet, no sooner was the ink dry on the parchment of Utrecht, than Spain was breaching the treaty by trying to recover Gibraltar by force and siege. There are a number of commemorative events being planned in Gibraltar throughout the year, but we will not be celebrating a treaty which is anti-Semitic, racist and which purports to curtail our rights as a people. Indeed, it is now fifty years since successive Chief Ministers of Gibraltar have been coming to this Committee asking you to defend our rights as a people in modern international law; under the terms of the UN Charter and the relevant decolonisation resolutions that create your Committee's jurisdiction and engenders the "sacred trust" which requires you to act in defence of our wishes as a people.

  • Conference Report
    Sustaining Partnerships: a conference on conservation and sustainability in UK Overseas Territories, Crown Dependencies and other small island communities Gibraltar 11th to 15th July 2015 Sustaining Partnerships international environmental conference in Gibraltar On 11th July 2015, conservation workers, scientific researchers, representatives of civil society environmental groups and governments environment departments from across the UK Overseas Territories met in Gibraltar for a 5-day gathering. The purpose was to exchange best practice, discuss successes, explore innovations and forge partnerships with the overall aim to ensure that the wildlife, and the ecosystems of the UK Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies is secured for future generations by the people. Over 90% of the global biodiversity for which the UK has responsibility under international agreements depends on these territories and their ecosystems are vital too for services to humans. The conference was organised by the UK Overseas Territories Conservation Forum (UKOTCF) and the Government of Gibraltar, with support from the Gibraltar Ornithological and Natural History Society. Seventeen UK territories were represented, several up to ministerial level, as well as nine other countries, with over 100 participants. Blue iguanas, mountain chickens (a threatened frog species), spiky yellow woodlice, sea turtles, gigantic whales and millions of albatross all have homes in the UKOTs. Many are not found anywhere else on Earth. Each UKOT has a set of unique challenges but they all share some similarities – for example, small human populations, often remote locations, many are low-lying islands, and small land areas. This means that many of them face the same pressures for example, the enormous pressures caused by climate change and sea- level rise, unsustainable development, and alien species introduced by humans.
