Scotland is a colony of England and should be liberated through international legal mechanisms.

Human rights lobbyists and representatives of non-governmental organisations from around the world attended Liberation Scotland and Salvo’s first major public intervention in their campaign to convince the world that Scotland was colonised by its southern neighbour.

Around 30 to 40 people gathered in a room at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland on Thursday to hear from Scottish independence campaigners who want the UN to list Scotland as a non-self-governing territory.

They are attempting to build support for their campaign for Scotland to be recognised by the UN’s special committee on decolonisation and for a “friendly” state, which they envisage as being from the global south, to refer Scotland’s case to the International Court of Justice for investigation and a ruling on its constitutional status.
