Sir,
I have the honour to refer to Mr. Boothby's letter dated 14 January 1966, declaring, in accordance with the provisions of Article 25 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, signed at Rome of 4 November 1950, the recognition by the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in respect of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland only and not, pending further notification, in respect of any other territory for the inter- national relations of which the Government of the United Kingdom are responsible, of the competence of the European Commission of Human Rights to receive petitions from persons, non-governmental organisations or groups of individuals.
On instructions from Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, I now have the honour to inform you that, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (4) of Article 63 of the said Convention, the Government of the United Kingdom hereby declare on behalf of Anguilla, that they accept in respect of Anguilla, for the period beginning on 14 January 1981 and ending on 13 January 1986, the com- petence of the European Commission of Human Rights to receive petitions submitted to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe on or after 14 January 1981 by any person, non-governmental organisation or group of individuals claiming in relation to any act or decision occurring, or any facts or events arising on or after that date, to be the victim of a violation of the rights set forth in the Convention as extended to Anguilla.
I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you, Sir, the assurance of my highest consideration
