Since the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, in 1783, Charles III and all the subsequent governments and rulers of Spain, including General Franco, knew that the British sovereignty of Gibraltar could not be legally disputed.
"The Treaty of Versailles is one of the most important events in the history of Gibraltar.

After 1760 two treaties came on the scene which seem to have solidified the Baymen's resolve to retain the Settlement of Belize.
The Treaty of Versailles, 1783, along with a Convention of 1786, gave the Baymen the right to cut and carry away logwood with certain boundaries; to cut mahogany; and to reoccupy St. George's Caye.
Based on a report by a Spanish Commissioner who visited the Yucatan that the Baymen were extending their logwood cutting borders dangerously close to a nearby Spanish town, Spain issued orders for the immediate and effective expulsion of the settlers occupying the Settlement.

This part of the Treaty is superceded by UN and EU legislation and Directives on Free Movement, but is still used by Spain as an excuse (among many other equally invalid excuses) to hold up traffic and trade at the frontier.
But whereas treaties of friendship and a liberty and intercourse of commerce are between the British and certain territories situated on the coast of Africa, it is always to be understood, that the British subjects cannot refuse the Moors and their ships entry into the port of Gibraltar purely upon the account of merchandising.
We are seeking a UN ruling on this matter, as most of this Treaty is superceded by subsequent treaties and international law.
