Argentina to Seek ITLOS Injunction Against UK Falklands Oil Drilling

Argentina will request provisional measures from the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) against the UK's Sea Lion oil project in the Falklands/Malvinas, following a two-week notice period that expired. The move escalates a long-standing sovereignty dispute into a legal challenge, though ITLOS jurisdiction is contested by the UK. The outcome could affect offshore energy development in the South Atlantic.
