加泰將西班牙告上歐洲法庭？不如去英國法庭吿Boris Johnson 有效一點

最近友人依然偶有討論加泰局勢，其實情況有些惡性循環是有些悲劇。於是朋友就提出，是否可鬧到歐洲人權法庭。

但我表示，到歐洲人權法庭是有案由，裴道民繼續有權參選，雖然他無法就任議員，甚至要放棄參選下屆政府主席，但都很難說有人權之虞，因此都不太容易。

反而玩起膠來，還有一條國際條約可以玩，就是結束西班牙王位繼承戰爭的「烏得勒支和約」當中第13條，有一個英國拉落水。

ARTICLE XIII

Whereas the Queen of Great Britain has continually pressed and insisted with the great earnestness, that all the inhabitants of the principality of Catalonia, of whatever state or condition they may be, should not only obtain a full and perpetual oblivion of all that was done in the late war, and enjoy the entire possession of all their estates and honours, but should also have their ancient privileges preserved safe and untouched; the Catholic King, in compliance with the said Queen of Great Britain, hereby grants and confirms to all the inhabitants of Catalonia whatsoever, not only the amnesty desired, together with the full possession of all their estates and honors, but also gives and grants to them all the privileges which the inhabitants of both Castilles, who of all the Spaniards are the most dear to the Catholic King, have and enjoy, or may hereafter have and enjoy.

這條規定，英國君主要持續為加泰隆尼亞公國，伸張本來的原有權益不受影響。當時加泰支持波旁王室的對手，哈布斯堡王室，自然會害怕會被報復。所有才有此條款。

當然波旁王室最後走數，立新法例用加斯蒂利亞語審訊，幾乎就是廢除了加泰原有權益，英國自然事背棄其責任。

所以加泰如果真要把事情提上英國的議程，不妨把在生的首相、外相通通高上法庭。當然法庭自然有理由不受理，而且大家也知道香港問題上英國人都走了數，不過不乏是一種惹起關注的「膠方法」。
