Argentina threatens UK with arbitration over Falkland Islands oil project FAST-MOVING

Argentine President Javier Milei has issued a two-week ultimatum to the United Kingdom, demanding it halt the Sea Lion oil project near the Falkland Islands. Argentina argues that the offshore extraction, located approximately 220 kilometers north of the archipelago, constitutes an illegal exploitation of its resources and violates United Nations resolutions regarding the sovereignty dispute.

If the deadline is not met, Argentina intends to initiate international arbitration under Annex VII of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and seek provisional measures from the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea in Hamburg. The administration maintains that unilateral resource exploitation causes irreversible harm to Argentina's sovereign rights.

Additionally, the Argentine government is pursuing legal and diplomatic action against Thales UK Limited. The company is accused of conducting unauthorized flights between the Falkland Islands and Punta Arenas, Chile, using a British-registered aircraft without Argentine authorization.
