evidence: Referring to UN resolutions that Spain relied upon to forward its argument that sovereignty of Gibraltar should be given to Madrid, Picarod called them ‘legally worthless.’ "Every year we hear the Spanish representative […] talk about resolutions of the General Assembly, adopted more than half a century ago, which they say support their sovereignty claim over our homeland," he told the Fourth Committee, also known as the Committee on Decolonisation. [...] He concluded by telling the committee that ‘Gibraltar cannot legally be decolonised [and integrated] into Spain.’ "In fact, such an action would not amount to decolonisation – it would result in the recolonisation of Gibraltar, but by a different colonial power!" [...] Gibraltar has been listed as a ‘non-self-governing’ territory since 1946, despite the fact that its 1969 constitution granted it its own Parliament, House of Assembly, Executive Council and a Bill of Rights.
