About

A British Overseas Territory (BOT) is a sovereign territory that is under the jurisdiction and sovereignty of the United Kingdom, but is not part of the UK itself. The concept of British Overseas Territories has evolved over time and it is used to describe the territories that are not part of the United Kingdom, but are still under its jurisdiction. There are 14 BOTs currently, including Bermuda, the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, and the British Antarctic Territory.

The BOTs have a complex relationship with the United Kingdom, as they are not considered to be part of the UK but are still under British sovereignty. The residents of these territories are considered British Overseas Territories citizens, but they do not have the same rights and privileges as British citizens. For example, they do not have the right to live or work in the UK, and they are not eligible to vote in UK general elections.

The BOTs have a large degree of autonomy in their internal affairs, and they have their own government and legal systems. However, the United Kingdom is responsible for their defence and foreign relations, and they are represented by the UK in international organizations. The relationship between the BOTs and the UK is constantly evolving, and the UK government is committed to support the Overseas Territories to develop and thrive.
