Crown Dependency

International representation

• The UK has no democratic accountability in and for the Crown Dependencies, which are governed by their own democratically elected assemblies;
• The UK will not act internationally on behalf of the Crown Dependencies without prior consultation;
• Each Crown Dependency has an international identity that is different from that of the UK;
• The UK supports the principle of each Crown Dependency further developing its international identity;
• The UK recognises that the interests of each Crown Dependency may differ from those of the UK, and the UK will seek to represent any differing interests when acting in an international capacity; and
• The UK and each Crown Dependency will work together to resolve or clarify any differences that may arise between their respective interests.
