Position Statements

The UK Overseas Territories (also known as British Overseas Territories) are highly diverse; spread across the globe and with widely differing economies, natural environments, and regional settings. Where there are issues of common interest, UKOTA provides a forum for exchange of ideas and discussion of these issues. This page contains a number of ‘position statements’ that express UKOTA’s view. They can be quoted and attributed to UKOTA. Any part in quotation marks may be attributed either to a UKOTA spokesperson or to the current chair of the Association, who is named at https://ukota.org/who-we-are/.
