When Great Britain and Spain concluded the Treaty of Utrecht, the Spanish government believed that the Treaty recognized British possession, but not sovereignty, of Gibraltar.

The Spanish contend that the Treaty grants Great Britain a propriety, but without territorial jurisdiction. (Who's Rock is it Anyway? The Legal Status of Gibraltar, The Fordham Institute of International Law, Vol 18 , (I), Article 8, Lincoln S.J.,1994, p307, quoting Levie, supra note 18, at 32).

The question is why is this piece appearing in Mercopenguin, a propaganda organ supposedly devoted to America, South America and the South Atlantic?
