What you cannot do is pretend that the UN itself favours territorial integrity over self-determination, when the exact opposite is the case. The right to self-determination is enshrined in the UN Charter, but there is no right of annexation to add to the territorial integrity of a state, which is what spain relies on. As you are well aware, Gibraltar, as a colony is not a part of ANY other state, therefore cannot affect the territorial integrity of a state of which it does not form part. The UN itself descibes the right to self-determination as a ""fundamental human right"", and both the UN and ICJ have repeatedly stated ""in the process of decolonisation there is no alternative to the principle of self-determination"". It is like comparing chalk with cheese.It is not me who favours the right to self-determination, the UN does. "
