Self-Determination For A Distinct Colony Of The Crown Norfolk Island

EDM number 983 in 2017-19, proposed by Angus MacNeil on 26/02/2018.
Categorised under the topics of Australasia, International politics and government and Overseas territories.

That this House supports the right of self-determination of Norfolk Island, which was until recently a limited self-governing territory attached initially to the UK and then to Australia, but was always a distinct colony of the British crown; calls for the self-determination of Norfolk Island in line with the UN charter on decolonization to which Australia is a signatory and which the UK has enacted for the people of the British Overseas Territories; and deplores the attempts by Australia to re-colonise the people of Norfolk Island and obstruct them from achieving the internationally accepted process of self-determination.

This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
