Relationships between the Channel Islands and other Locations
The Channel Islands are situated in the Gulf of St Malo and include Jersey, Guernsey, Sark, Herm and Alderney. The Island of Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands and is 14 miles (22.5) km from the coast of France and 100 miles (161km) from the south coast of mainland Britain. Despite their geographic proximity to France, the Channel Islands have long established links to Britain and, together with Isle of Man, are referred to as Crown Dependencies. Although the Islands are self-governing by virtue of Royal Charters, both Jersey and Guernsey each have a Crown appointed Bailiff who represents the official link between the Islands and Britain.
The Bailiwick of Jersey includes the uninhabited off lying Islands of Les Ecrehous and the Minquiers. The Bailiwick of Guernsey includes Herm, Jethou, Alderney and has a degree of control over Sark.
The two Bailiwicks have slightly different forms of Government and legislation systems. In recent years there has been more cooperation between the Islands and at the same time both Islands are liaising with the Isle of Man, particularly in relation to pressures from the United Kingdom and European Union. The Islands also form part of the Anglo Irish Council which has been established in more recent years.
