Dispute increases over Falklands oil drilling

2/17/2010

The executive order signed by President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner stated that prior permission from the Argentine government would be required for all ships transiting Argentine ports or crossing Argentine jurisdictional waters en route to the Falklands, which remain the subject of a 177 year-old sovereignty dispute between Buenos Aires and the UK. An interdepartmental commission including representatives from several ministries would be created to enforce the decree, according to Aníbal Fernandez, Argentina's cabinet chief. Argentina has also warned oil companies operating in the Falklands that they could be subject to lawsuits in Argentine courts.
