What countries accept the "Certificate of Identity (Brown)" travel document as an alternative to a UK Passport

I'm trying to find out which European and International Countries accept the Brown Certificate of Identity travel document as a sufficient ALTERNATIVE to the British Passport, as I'm trying to arrange a holiday for my mates and I need to find a country which will accept a COD!

Any tips/ advice would be greatly appreciated!

All countries that accept British passports in general allow it. Whether or not you need a visa to go there (considering you do not have British citizenship) is another story.
