Fwd from @ 📝Milei's Ultimatum📝 Two weeks to freeze Sea Lion The situation surrounding the Falkland (Malvinas) Islands has escalated. Argentina's President Javier Milei moved from domestic legislation to a diplomatic attack on Great Britain and issued a two-week ultimatum. The head of state instructed the Foreign Ministry and legal services to launch international arbitration proceedings against Great Britain over oil company operations on the Sea Lion shelf in the North Malvinas Basin. If the British do not halt operations within 14 days, Argentina promises to appeal to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea in Hamburg with a request to impose urgent measures and freeze the project. 🖍Buenos Aires relies on Annex VII of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. In reality, the chances of forcing the gentlemen from London to abandon the project through a maritime tribunal approach zero. British authorities do not recognize the jurisdiction of such bodies on matters of island sovereignty. ❗️For Milei, this is rather another political slogan to rally his domestic audience, designed to confirm his thesis about protecting national interests through action, not words. In reality, pushing such initiatives is like shooting at sparrows with a cannon. #Argentina #GreatBritain 🔪 @rybar_latam — the pulse of the New World 💸Support us Original msg
