Although the UK Government has supported the development of human rights laws and policies in its CDOTs in recent years, including the drafting of constitutions that protect human rights, it has not sought to codify its own responsibility for human rights in these territories. INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW CDOTs are not able to sign international human rights treaties. The UK has taken a piecemeal approach to extending human rights instruments to them including the ECHR. In some cases, this has been in response to resistance from local governments in CDOTs while in others the reasons are less clear and lead to black holes in the protection of human rights. UK POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES The UK is responsible for the security and governance of most of its OTs and their people as non-self-governing territories under international law flowing from the UN Charter. Without clear avenues for legal challenge, the CDOTs may be unable to defend their own interests and protect their rights where UK interests conflict with theirs. EFFECTIVE ENJOYMENT OF RIGHTS The UK Government has made political commitments to ensure the same standards of human rights apply in CDOTs as do in the UK, but it is not clear how those commitments would be put into practice. This is not just a technical legal question but also requires an assessment of the resources needed to ensure effective enjoyment of rights in areas such as healthcare. RECOMMENDATIONS EXTENSION OF INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTRUMENTS The UK Government could extend all its international human rights commitments to all “territories under the territorial sovereignty of the United Kingdom.”1 SUPPORT FOR INTERNATIONAL REPORTING The UK Government should provide support to CDOTs, in particular independent human rights institutions, for engagement with periodic reporting and UN Special Procedures to 1 See discussion in Hendry and Dickson p. 282 3 ensure that voices from all British Territories are properly considered in terms of compliance with international human rights standards. CREATING LEGAL CERTAINTY There is a need to clarify and codify constitutional relationships and the routes to challenge acts and decisions made by the UK authorities that will have impacts on the rights of people in the CDOTs. ENSURING THE SAME STANDARDS APPLY There should be a wide-ranging assessment of the current standards of the enjoyment of human rights in CDOTs as they compare with those in the UK in order to understand what areas may need further development and support. Avenues to access funding to support improvement of human rights in CDOTs from the UK under the International Development Act need clarification. 4 - Introduction This paper is the product of a project funded by the Legal Education Foundation (LEF) to support the Island Rights Initiative in mapping the UK’s responsibilities for human rights in the British Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories (CDOTS). The British Crown Dependencies (CDs) are all located in the British Isles and include the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. The 14 British Overseas Territories (OTs), of which 11 are populated, are scattered around the world in Europe, the Caribbean, South Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. Their populations are British citizens and the UK is responsible for their international relations, including international human rights obligations. BACKGROUND Each CDOT is unique. Some, like St Helena or Pitcairn are heavily dependent on the UK for their survival because of their size, remoteness and limited resources. Others, like Bermuda, are economically self-sufficient. Some are remnants of the UK’s colonial past while others share a history of belonging to the Crown. This project aims to map the constitutional arrangements between the UK and its CDOTs in terms of international human rights obligations and responsibilities. It is part of the Island Rights Initiative’s ongoing policy engagement on these issues including Parliamentary evidence and policy advice. The relationships between the UK and its CDOTs have developed on an ad hoc basis over centuries which means that there is a lack of consistency in terms of human rights protections for their populations most of whom are British citizens. Although the UK Government has supported the development of human rights laws and policies in its CDOTs in recent years, including the drafting of constitutions that protect human rights, it has not sought to codify its own responsibility for human rights in these territories. Recent developments such as the exclusion of CDOT residents (with the exception of Gibraltar) from the Brexit referendum, domestic litigation around same-sex marriage in OTs and the assertion by the UK Parliament of direct legislative powers in OTs (though not in CDs) through the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, have brought this issue into sharp relief.

  • 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.

  • Statement by Chief Minister Re Meeting with HM Treasury
    STATEMENTS ON A MATTER OF OFFICIAL RESPONSIBILITY The Bailiff: Very well, we now come to statements. The first statement of which I have notice is a statement to be made by the Chief Minister regarding a meeting with Her Majesty’s Treasury on 27th November. 6. Statement by Chief Minister regarding a meeting with H.M. Treasury on 27th November 2008. 6.1 Senator F.H. Walker (The Chief Minister): Members will be aware that in his pre-budget report delivered last week the U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer announced a review of the long term opportunities and challenges facing the Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories as financial centres which have been brought into focus by recent financial and economic events. We in Jersey have, of course, been here before with the Edwards Review in 1998. However, to some extent this time it is different. We are now experienced in the review process. We have already been fully reviewed by the I.M.F. in 2003 and at that time were found to be almost fully compliant with the then international standards of regulation. More recently we have engaged with a review of the Treasury Select Committee in their work on offshore centres. Even more recently we have just concluded a further review by I.M.F. teams looking into our compliance firstly with international standards of anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism; and secondly with prudential regulation under an I.M.F. review which includes matters of financial stability. We await their reports in due course.

  • Money Laundering, Public Beneficial Ownership Registers and the British Overseas Territories: the Impact of the Sanctions and Money Laundering Act 2018 (Uk)
    The Denning Law Journal 2018 Vol 30 pp 185-202 STATUTE NOTE MONEY LAUNDERING, PUBLIC BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REGISTERS AND THE BRITISH OVERSEAS TERRITORIES: THE IMPACT OF THE SANCTIONS AND MONEY LAUNDERING ACT 2018 (UK) John Hatchard* 1 INTRODUCTION The revelations from the Panama Papers 1 have highlighted the potential use of off-shore shell and shelf companies based in the British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies to facilitate money laundering, tax evasion, the financing of terrorism and other serious and organised crime. The use of such companies has enabled the natural person(s) who ultimately owned or controlled the company to remain concealed behind a nominee director(s) and nominee shareholder(s).2 This has led to international interest and pressure to increase the transparency in the beneficial ownership of such companies. This note explores the important recent developments towards enhancing beneficial ownership transparency, especially as regards the United Kingdom (UK) and its Overseas Territories (OTs) and Crown Dependencies (CDs). It is divided into five sections. This section provides an introduction and background to the issue. Section 2 reviews some of the ongoing international efforts aimed at improving transparency in beneficial ownership and that is spearheaded by the Financial Action Task Force and the G20. Section 3 considers beneficial ownership transparency * Professor, School of Law, University of Buckingham.

  • The Report of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission
    THE REPORT OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY’S COMMISSION ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS TO THE WIDER CHURCH OF ENGLAND 30 September 2019 Letter from the Chair of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Commission on the relationship of the Channel Islands to the wider Church of England, the Right Revd & Rt Hon the Lord Chartres, GCVO PC Dear Archbishop, At the beginning of the work of the Commission you insisted that we should not seek to pass judgement on the unhappy sequence of events which precipitated the breakdown of relations between the Diocese of Winchester and the Deaneries of Guernsey and Jersey. Rather we were to focus on the possibility and shape of a future relationship conducive to the mutual flourishing of the Church in the Islands and the wider Church of England. We were charged to consult with the ecclesiastical and secular authorities in the Islands, with the Bishop of Winchester, his staff and other interested parties. This we have endeavoured to do. In the Report which follows we have proposed a way forward which, I believe, honours the polity of the Church of England and in particular the enhanced level of accountability of its bishops in the light of recent legislation but which also recognises and respects the traditions, both legal and ecclesiastical, which obtain in the Channel Islands. Our recommendations for action are attached. I have been very fortunate to be joined in this Commission by Baroness Judith Wilcox and Sir Christopher Clarke. After a distinguished business and political career, Baroness Wilcox has been able to offer a shrewd analysis of the context for our work while Sir Christopher Clarke with his extensive experience as a former Judge of the Courts of Appeal in Guernsey and Jersey, and Lord Justice of Appeal, has contributed an invaluable legal perspective.

The Constitutional Reform Act 2005 swept away more than a thousand years of constitutional tradition by significantly reforming the ancient office of Lord Chancellor, which straddled all three branches of government. A stated goal of this legislation was to create more favorable external perceptions of the British constitutional and justice system. But even though the enacted legislation does substantively promote this goal, both by enhancing the separation of powers and implementing new statutory safeguards for * Susanna Frederick Fischer is an Assistant Professor at the Columbus School of Law, The Catholic University of America, in Washington D.C.
