their adherence or separation

elections (and referendums, such as the 2004 vote on the European constitution), where they exercise the so-called right of domestic self-determination. There is no ‘people’ of Ceuta or Melilla with a right to external self-determination, able to make a declaration about their adherence or separation from a State, nor is the matter internationalised as it is in the case of Gibraltar. Therefore, neither Gibraltar nor Ceuta or Melilla have the right to external self-determination (the right to decide their future by balloting their population, which includes the option of independence), whereas the three cities have and exercise their right of internal self-determination (right to democratic government) under the umbrella and oversight of the Council of Europe and the EU. สล็อต
