This resolution, expressing the sense of the House of Representatives, formally recognizes the right of Gibraltar to self-determination regarding its status as a British Overseas Territory. It acknowledges that the citizens of Gibraltar have democratically expressed their desire to remain a British Overseas Territory through popular referenda in 1967 and 2002, with overwhelming support. The resolution further highlights Gibraltar's significant historical and ongoing contributions to United States security interests in the Mediterranean region, citing its use in various military interventions since 1801, including World War II. It emphasizes the continued strategic importance of maintaining secure access to Gibraltar's military facilities for U.S. operations. Ultimately, the resolution asserts that the views and rights of Gibraltarians must always be considered imperative in any discussions concerning their territory's status.
