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. Keywords: Brexit, British Overseas Territories (BOTs), constitutional status, Crown Dependencies, sovereignty https://doi.org/10.24043/isj.114 • Received June 2019, accepted March 2020 © 2020—Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. -
The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey's
The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey’s National and International Identity Interim Findings Report 1 Foreword Avant-propos What makes Jersey special and why does that matter? Those simple questions, each leading on to a vast web of intriguing, inspiring and challenging answers, underpin the creation of this report on Jersey’s identity and how it should be understood in today’s world, both in the Island and internationally. The Island Identity Policy Development Board is proposing for consideration a comprehensive programme of ways in which the Island’s distinctive qualities can be recognised afresh, protected and celebrated. It is the board’s belief that success in this aim must start with a much wider, more confident understanding that Jersey’s unique mixture of cultural and constitutional characteristics qualifies it as an Island nation in its own right. An enhanced sense of national identity will have many social and cultural benefits and reinforce Jersey’s remarkable community spirit, while a simultaneously enhanced international identity will protect its economic interests and lead to new opportunities. What does it mean to be Jersey in the 21st century? The complexity involved in providing any kind of answer to this question tells of an Island full of intricacy, nuance and multiplicity. Jersey is bursting with stories to tell. But none of these stories alone can tell us what it means to be Jersey. In light of all this complexity why take the time, at this moment, to investigate the different threads of what it means to be Jersey? I would, at the highest level, like to offer four main reasons: First, there is a profound and almost universally shared sense that what we have in Jersey is special. -

Jersey's Last Wilderness Illustrated 7:12:08
JERSEYʼS LAST WILDERNESS - PROTECTED BY THE RAMSAR CONVENTION, OR NOT? The Convention on Wetlands, signed in Ramsar, Iran, in 1971, is an intergovernmental treaty which provides the framework for national action and international co-operation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. There are presently158 Contracting Parties to the Convention, with 1,822 wetland sites, totalling 168 million hectares. The year 2000 marked a milestone in the Island's environmental history. The States of Jersey gave approval for 32.1 square kilometres of intertidal habitat to be designated a United Nations Ramsar Wetland of International Importance. The area stretches from the seaward edge of the tanker berth at St. Helier Harbour to the tip of Gorey Pier and equals 25% of Jersey's landmass (See map). Three offshore sites have also been designated: Les Écréhous & Les Dirouilles, Les Minquiers, Les Pierres de Lecq (the Paternosters). So What Do We Protect? Jersey's south east coast was once part of the island's prehistoric land-bridge to the Continent, submerged at the end of the last Ice Age. It now comprises some of the most ruggedly beautiful and ecologically important intertidal habitats in Europe. It is a marine wilderness often beyond the familiar sounds of dry land where a constellation of weather-worn reefs are submerged and exposed twice each day by one of the largest tidal ranges in the world. The number of marine species found in such a comparatively small area is remarkable, well beyond Ramsar criteria. The criteria for Ramsar designation are based on an area's value as a unique or representative habitat with an important range or number of plants, animals, wildfowl or fish. -
