Recommendation 13
13
Paragraph: 49
Develop MoJ mechanism to faithfully represent Crown Dependency interests in negotiation conflicts
Conclusion
Representation of the interests of the Crown Dependencies in international relations is not optional, according to whether or not their interests are in line with those of the UK: it is the UK Government’s duty. In cases of conflict, the Ministry of Justice must endeavour to find a mechanism for representation which will faithfully present and serve the interests of both parties. Having the Crown Dependencies represented during negotiations by specifically designated officials would go some way towards addressing this issue.
