  • 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.

  • July 2005 BRANDING? JUST SAY NO! M IKE 'S
    Published by Mec Vannin - the Manx Nationalist Party Earroo / Issue 35 - Jerrey Souree / July 2005 BRANDING? JUST SAY NO! M IKE 'S In 2003 a group of people who presumably see themselves as “movers and shakers” and who move in the circle of ambitious politicians, managed to convince them that the Island needed a “make over” to create a new and exciting image for the 21st century. In due course, Tynwald voted half a million pounds of E NRON public money to the Branding Committee. The current branding exercise is symptomatic of successive Manx Governments' paranoid approach to what they believe is the outside world's perception (when we register at all) of the Isle of Man. A CCOUNTING Certainly, in the present situation, it is easy to see the attraction for the Manx Government of a new image but, as that would involve The Chief Minister's announcement that the entire board of the MEA had resigned when it multiple resignations, it is not likely to happen. became clear to them that they no longer had the confidence of the Council of Ministers is something of a joke. On the one hand, we have the ludicrously overblown claims by the likes of Alan Bell that, “we are a player on the international stage,” Has it not occurred to Mr. Donald Gelling and his colleagues that the Manx public may no or Donald Gelling with his, “we are in the top drawer of financial longer have confidence in them? Has the Council of Ministers not yet realised the seriousness service centres,” or the delusions of the Film Commission that half of the new economic situation, or are they once again in denial?

    4. BILL FOR SECOND READING 4.1. Council of Ministers (Amendment) Bill 2016 – Second Reading approved Mr Cannan to move: That the Council of Ministers (Amendment) Bill 2016 be read a second time. The Speaker: Item 4, Second Reading, Council of Ministers (Amendment) Bill. I call on the mover, Hon. Member for Michael, Mr Cannan. Mr Cannan: Mr Speaker, I have promised Hon. Members that I intended to deliver a simple change to legislation that would see the election of the Chief Minister become purely a matter for the House of Keys. What I hope that you will find in front of you today is a series of amendments that moves the balance of power in this highly important election entirely to the publicly-elected Chamber, removing any input from the Legislative Council and, thereby, not only restoring primacy to the House of Keys, but in having elected the Chief Minister, allows that person to take up position unencumbered by any undue allegiance to the Legislative Council or individual Members of the Legislative Council. Mr Speaker, this is good for democracy and accountability, and also provides a small but significant step forward in reforming Tynwald. Of course, Mr Speaker, in electing the Chief Minister, it is therefore only right that the House of Keys retains the privilege of removing him or her from office. Therefore, I propose that the Council of Ministers Act is amended to provide for that to happen by a vote of 16 or more Members of the House of Keys. Members, of course, will recognise that the current system allows for a vote of no confidence by a straight majority in Tynwald and, in changing the vote back to the House of Keys, I have sought to recognise the change and decrease in voting numbers to 24 Members.

  • Information Pack Introduction
    The Diocese of Sodor and Man Together making Christ visible The Archdeacon of Man and Vicar of St George & All Saints, Douglas Job information pack Introduction We are seeking to appoint an Archdeacon of Man and Vicar of the Parish of St George & All Saints, Douglas, with effect from December 2021. The Crown has the right of appointment to the Archdeaconry and the Bishop the right of patronage to the Parish. It is, therefore, intended that the Crown and Bishop will make a joint appointment. We are looking for a priest, probably with fifteen years of parochial experience, who can imagine and enable God's mission, with energy and a desire to serve God and people, and who is called to use administrative and pastoral gifts in the care and support of our clergy and parishes. The Archdeacon has responsibilities across the whole of the island-diocese, working with colleagues in diocesan roles, with those involved in public ministry, with parishes, with our ecumenical partners and with many non-church agencies in helping to create conditions for mission and growth. The ministry of the Archdeacon is to assist in the efficient and pastorally-sensitive running of the Diocese. The Archdeacon is to encourage the pursuit of excellence to create the best conditions for growth in every dimension of the Christian life and of the mission Christ has committed to His Church. St. George's Church is the civic church of Douglas, effectively only second in significance to the Cathedral, and exercises an important ministry in the wider life of the capital city of the Isle of Man.

  • Manx Notes 442 (2020)
    Manx Notes 442 (2020) “THE CORONATION— A PROTEST” (1953) (1) To the Editor, We, as loyal subjects of the Queen, desire to express our regret that no steps appear to have been taken adequately to express the loyalty of the Manx people to Her Majesty in connection with the Coronation. We have noticed that in the Coronation Souvenir Programme there is on the title page the arms of the various countries constituting the British Empire. The arms of the Isle of Man are not included. Neither do we find any mention of the Isle of Man in any part of the programme. In the second place we regret that no steps were taken to arrange for the presentation to Her Majesty of two falcons by the people of the Isle of Man in accordance with the traditional right which had its origin in the grant of the Isle of Man by Henry iv to Sir John Stanley in 1406. In the third place we regret that there is to be no reference, so far as we are aware, in the Coronation ceremony to Her Majesty’s title as Lord of Mann. Her Majesty's title as successor of the Lords of Mann is an older title than her title as successor of the Kings of England. We are confident that there is no part of the British Empire where the people are more loyal to Her Majesty than the Isle of Man and we should like to express the hope that in the broadcast programmes or in some other way arrangements will be made for the inclusion of the Isle of Man as a separate part of the British Empire and for the announcement of the fact that to the Manx people the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth is her Coronation as the successor of the Kings of Mann and the Isles.

  • Mount Murray Report
    16. THE COMPLIANCE ISSUE i) Introduction 16.1 In the last sub-section of our account of government actions following Professor Crow’s Report, we reported on deficiencies of action in the current failure to recognise or to accept the need for ensurance of compliance with laid down procedures. In this section we take this important matter further. 16.2 In 1991 the procedures for the receipt and processing, consideration and determination of planning applications by the Department of Local Government and the Environment were rudimentary and rarely documented. 16.3 The irregularities which occurred in respect of the Mount Murray development appear to have arisen for reasons which include the shortcomings of procedures, the failures of staff of the planning office, the failures of Planning Committee, and the absence of credible mechanisms to devise proper procedures to deter such failures and/or to identify and correct those which occurred. 16.4 Accordingly, we have given careful consideration to the issues involving the proper regulation of planning applications and their determination by the Planning Committee and to the enforcement of compliance with such regulatory procedures as are introduced. 16.5 We make specific recommendations in section 19 in respect of many of the matters of concern which we raise in this particular section. ii) Corporate Approach 16.6 In a pro forma letter dated 5th August 2002, Mr Corkill, Chief Minister, presented a “new initiative” on behalf of the Council of Ministers which he called “Corporate Government and Business Planning”. The new initiative is said to seek to secure greater corporate working and greater use of business planning within government, to be about changing the role of the Council of Ministers, and to be about changing the role of the Chief Officers Group.1 The Chief Officers’ Group is described in sub- section 7 (xxi) above.
