Peter Isola

Peter Isola

Peter Isola succeeded Maurice Xiberras as leader of the Democratic Party of British Gibraltar (DPBG), a political party in Gibraltar.

In 1963 and 1964 he went to the United Nations together with Sir Joshua Hassan to defend Gibraltar from Spain’s attempt to obtain sovereignty over Gibraltar using decolonisation as an instrument to achieve its ends. Both leaders returned to a large public welcome.

In 1964 Peter defended Close Association with UK, which had been unanimously endorsed by the whole legislature as the constitutional formula for decolonisation which was expected to be achieved by no later than 1969.

He retired from politics when the DPBG disintegrated after failing to achieve any seats in an election and concentrated on his substantial legal practice.

He was a member of the constitutional advisory committee, until his death in January 2006.
