Like all Gibraltar political parties, it opposed transfer of sovereignty over Gibraltar from the United Kingdom to Spain . As the name of the group implied, it was in favour of greater civilrights for Gibraltarian people Gibraltarians , removing many of the political disabilities inherent in any territory with colony colonial status. The AACR was the first political party created in Gibraltar. It dates back to the Second World War , when most of the Military history of Gibraltar during World War II Gibraltar population had been evacuated and only a small number of Gibraltarians remained on Rock of Gibraltar The Rock . At the same time, the colony was crowded with British soldiers, sailors and airmen. In September 1942, a group of fellow Gibraltarians, clerks and workers, led by Albert Risso came together to form an association advocating the civilrights of the local inhabitants of Gibraltar. They asked a young lawyer who was then serving in the Gibraltar Defence Force , Joshua Hassan , to join them. Initially named The Gibraltarian Association , upon Hassan s advice, the group took a much more ambitious name The Association for the Advancement of CivilRights in Gibraltar .
