The government of Javier Milei has urged the United Kingdom to halt the Sea Lion oil project within two weeks and warned that it will resort to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea if it does not comply
Summarizing the inflexible and patriotic spirit that guides this sovereign endeavor, the head of state proclaimed with absolute clarity: "If in 2 weeks the United Kingdom does not stop the illegitimate exploitation, we will go to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. THE FALKLANDS ARE ARGENTINE and they are defended with actions, not words".
In the context of the largest counteroffensive for sovereignty national in recent history, President Javier Milei has decided to directly confront the unilateral and illegitimate maneuvers of the United Kingdom in the South Atlantic. Demonstrating that the inalienable rights of the homeland are no longer negotiated or begged for with empty speeches, the Government of Freedom has taken concrete action to safeguard the non-renewable energy resources of the Argentine Continental Shelf.
The central milestone of this historic international stance is the executive order issued by President Javier Milei, who immediately instructed the Foreign Ministry and the State's legal teams to initiate a formal international arbitration against the United Kingdom.
The legal action is aimed directly at the illegal exploitation of hydrocarbons in the Sea Lion project, located in the North Falkland Basin. With the firmness of one defending their own soil, the Casa Rosada set a strict and non-extendable 2-week deadline for London to immediately halt all its extractive and operational activities on the national maritime platform.
The warning from the libertarian administration regarding British non-compliance is drastic and forceful: if within 2 weeks the occupying government does not completely stop the illegitimate exploitation, Argentina will immediately turn to global justice to request provisional measures for operational freezing before the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.
Alongside the hydrocarbon ultimatum, the Government of Freedom dealt a simultaneous blow in the criminal and administrative realm against British companies that challenge national jurisdiction. President Javier Milei ordered the immediate application of sanctions and the filing of criminal complaints against the company THALES UK LIMITED, after it was detected and verified that the firm conducted air operations without Argentine authorization in the national sovereign space.
In this way, with the weight of the law, international judicial actions, and the firm determination to uphold the territory, the libertarian Argentina demonstrates to the United Kingdom that colonialist plundering in the South Atlantic has come to an irreversible end.
