OCP Policy Center, Rabat

OCP Policy Center is pleased to receive Professor Charles Gomez, Associate Professor of the University of Cadiz Faculty of International Law and International Relations on Tuesday 27th September at 4pm in the OCP Policy Center office in Rabat. He will give a talk on the legal implications of the BREXIT.

From a legal/academic point of view, the proposed departure of the UK from the EU is very much terra incognita, but an early analysis can be made taking into account the juridical system which applies in the United Kingdom, where each of the constituent countries (England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland (and Gibraltar)) have different legal systems, and also factoring in precedents in the European Union itself. This situation is very volatile and is throwing up matters of legal interest on a daily basis so that I will ensure that the talk is a reflection of the up to the minute situation.
