Abstract
CHANNEL ISLANDS TOWARDS THE VISION OF INDEPENDENCE As a result of the events that occurred in Catalonia in 2017, the independence aspirations of nations, territories and the authorities of certain regions have become a more frequently analysed topic. The formation of new states is not a short and easy process. In addition, it is necessary to obtain the approval of the international community in order for the new state to function smoothly in its relations with other subjects of international law. In recent years, also in the context of the Channel Islands, discussions have arisen about their possible independence. Within this small archipelago there are dependent territories: The Bailiwick of Jersey and the Bailiwick of Guernsey, within which there are two other jurisdictions of Alderney and Sark. Britain’s exit from the European Union (EU), which occurred as a result of the June 23, 2016 referendum, also affected the situation in its dependent territories.
