Abstract

The report of the recent Commission of Inquiry into possible corruption in the British Virgin Islands exemplifies a number of themes present in previous reports relating to other Overseas Territories. This article considers the question of corruption in the Overseas Territories in the context of the constitutional relationship between the Territories and the United Kingdom, considering the extent to which the UK is responsible for addressing the question and whether it might bear some responsibility for the existence of such corruption in the first place.
