We'll all know that EU citizens are free to move, to reside, to work in any part of any member state that they choose to.

Many have argued that the above alone puts the spanner in the BBF works by making a BBF challengeable in the EU courts....

... but a reminder that there is an even more devastating barrier to a BBF based settlement and that is...

Protocol No. 4 of the UDHR... "to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms securing certain rights and freedoms other than those already included in the Convention and in the first Protocol thereto"....

It's not relevant, by the way, that this an additional protocol, it has the same weight as any of the original protocols/articles.

Keep in mind we're talking about an inalienable human right, one we are each of us born with, and these rights are intrinsically non-negotiable. There's no escaping it, there are no "deeeerogations" on this one.

This is what Article 2 of this Protocol 4 says...

Freedom Of Movement

1. Everyone lawfully within the territory of a State shall, within that territory, have the right to liberty of movement and freedom to choose his residence.

Would be interested to hear the views of others as to whether this alone is enough to put the nail in to the BBF coffin?

I already covered that, albeit in a different way here…

The “IPC” is illegal and the ECHR corrupt…

Can't see any ref in your links to Article 2 of the 4th Protocol.

The issue here is:

How does the anti-BBF movement become a widely popular movement? Not merely the flag of some sidelined political figures or even the catapult for the launch of new political careers. Rather a selfless platform to promote an idea that will be embraced wholeheartedly by the CYPRIOT people first, and political parties next.

And if RoC 2.0 is the way to go, will 1963, 2011 and EU adjusted, be presented as the minimum the overwhelming majority of Cypriots can accept as the negotiating basis to tackle the tCypriot community challenge?

As far as the Turkeyish problem the UN has spoken enough. Merely awaiting implementation.
