Government of the United Kingdom is responsible and which is subject to a process
of decolonization in accordance with the relevant decisions and resolutions of the
General Assembly.
2. The Gibraltarian authorities are local in character, and exercise competences exclusively
over internal affairs that originate in and are based on the powers allocated to and
conferred on them by the United Kingdom, in accordance with its domestic legislation
and in its capacity as the sovereign State upon which depends the said Non-Self-Governing
Territory.
3. Consequently, any involvement by the Gibraltarian authorities in the implementation
of this Convention shall be understood to take place exclusively within the framework
of the internal affairs of Gibraltar and shall not be considered to affect in any
way the content of the two preceding paragraphs.

the context of Mixed Agreements, which was agreed by Spain and the United Kingdom
on 19 December 2007 (together with "Agreed Arrangements relating to Gibraltar authorities
in the context of European Union and European Community Instruments and Related Treaties"
of 19 April 2000) applies to the present Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary
Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal (Basel, 22 March 1989) and to the
Amendment to the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous
Wastes and their Disposal (Geneva, 22 September 1995).
5. The implementation of the present Convention and the Amendment thereto in Gibraltar
cannot be interpreted as recognition of any rights or situations involving matters
