  • Descrição: Working on important documents, the Author offers an overall political and historical reconstruction of the Gibraltar question since the Treaty of Utrecht (1713). At that time, the Rock was reluctantly ceded by Spain to Great Britain. Spain always attempted to reconquest Gibraltar militarily by some useless sieges, and claim of the Rock by peaceful means was a constant policy. Meanwhile, Great Britain has enlarged her possession in the Isthmus and Gibraltarians' identity has changed over time, with Spanish exodus from the territory. Thus, most inhabitants have always repulsed Spanish tries. After the Second World War, Gibraltar remained a country of strategic importance for United Kingdom and NATO, but Spain reasserted its territorial claim. The decolonisation had important consequences for the dispute. The United Nations General Assembly voted on many resolutions after the first in 1960, the 1514 (XV), and in 1963 charged the Committee of Twenty Four to handle the problem. After that United Kingdom granted autonomy and, in a referendum held in 1967, almost unanimously Gibraltarians voted to remain a British dependency, Spain closed the borders and lines of communication. The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe was involved in 1968, when Mr. Edwards and nineteen colleagues signed a motion adverse to Spain. After which, the Assembly charged three of its members to visit Gibraltar, and the Author, was one of them, vice-chairman, appointed as politician and expert in international law. His report is very helpful to understand such a complex international issue.
