Employment Control (Repeal) Ordinance, 2010 (No. 7 of 2010).

Adoption: 2010-09-21 | GBR-2010-L-92722

The Ordinance is made by the Island Council of Ascension and applies to those Islands only. It repeals the Employment Control Ordinance, Cap. A11 which was enacted in 1992 to provide that no person should engage in any employment on Ascension except under the authority of a work permit. The implementation of this Ordinance is dependant on detailed regulations dealing with forms, fees and other procedures and, as no such rules have ever been made, the Ordinance has never been applied in practice. Furthermore, employment is also controlled under two other laws. The requirement not to work without the permission of the Administrator has been implemented by means of conditions imposed on Entry Permits under the Entry Control Ordinance, 2007. The Workmen's Protection Ordinance also contains various provisions dealing with passages, reasonable food and housing, medical care, and repatriation of persons recruited from off-Island.

Adoption: 2007 | GBR-2007-C-109367

Whereas the people of the territory of the Virgin Islands have over centuries evolved with a distinct cultural identity which is the essence of a Virgin Islander;

Acknowledging that the society of the Virgin Islands is based upon certain moral, spiritual and democratic values including a belief in God, the dignity of the human person, the freedom of the individual and respect for fundamental rights and freedoms and the rule of law;

Mindful that the people of the Virgin Islands have expressed a desire for their Constitution to reflect who they are as a people and a country and their quest for social justice, economic empowerment and political advancement;

Recognising that the people of the Virgin Islands have a free and independent spirit, and have developed themselves and their country based on qualities of honesty, integrity, mutual respect, self-reliance and the ownership of the land engendering a strong sense of belonging to and kinship with those Islands;

Recalling that because of historical, economic and other reasons many of the people of the Virgin Islands reside elsewhere but have and continue to have an ancestral connection and bond with those Islands;
Accepting that the Virgin Islands should be governed based on adherence to well-established democratic principles and institutions;

Affirming that the people of the Virgin Islands have generally expressed their desire to become a self-governing people and to exercise the highest degree of control over the affairs of their country at this stage of its development; and

Noting that the United Kingdom, the administering power for the time being, has articulated a desire to enter into a modern partnership with the Virgin Islands based on the principles of mutual respect and self determination;

Now, therefore, the following provisions have effect as the Constitution of the Virgin Islands.
