Gibraltar Proclamation
The Green Party of England and Wales declares, unequivocally, its support for the self-determination of the people of Gibraltar, and their right to decide and settle their own style of democratic government within the framework of the European Convention on Human Rights.
The Green Party believes, as a principle, in the right of self-determination; in the right of all people to participate in, and where practicable to discharge, the decisions that affect them in their own lives.
The Green Party guarantees to uphold the political and democratic rights of the people of Gibraltar, and to uphold Article One of United Nations International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
The Green Party further declares its commitment to advance the social, environmental and economic rights of the people of Gibraltar, and to uphold Article One of the United Nations Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
The rights are taken as being inalienable, and as providing the foundation for a strong civil society, democratic advancement and the pursuit of human happiness.
Proclaimed by David Taylor, lead candidate for the Green Party in Gibraltar, at the launch of the Green Party's European Election Manifesto, on Monday May 17th 2004.
