I think this the deadline from May. I'm still waiting for the flurry of "Cease and desist" wits to come flying our way. I'm  still waiting to be awed by the finality of Argentina's legal action against all of those who are "Plundering" Argentina's hydrocarbons.

I hope it happens soon, I can't wait. I'm sitting here beside myself as it is........]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA["In March, Argentina vowed to take oil firms active in the Falklands, and other companies providing support and services to them, to the local courts for what it sees as illicit drilling in disputed territory."

Is this not the first indication of where argieland plans to take its "legal action"?   "the local courts" are presumably argie courts.  And what good do they think that will do?  Scenario:  argie government files case. Although there is no evidence that any "respondent" has received any court papers. Company writes to court.  "The territory is not disputed by Britain. You have no jurisdiction."  Alternative:  "As you allege that the territory concerned is "disputed", the "dispute" must first be resolved before you consider whether you have any right to jurisdiction."

Now, if an argie court holds a hearing and finds in favour of the argie government, the judgement has no effect because jurisdiction has not been agreed.  Much like argieland refuses to accept the jurisdiction of the ICJ.  This should be hilarious!!]]></description>

They are also not recognised if the potential sentence would be punitative (such as the death sentence or out of proportion to the "offence")

In this case the warrant will not be recognised as entering into a commercial contract with the agreement of the government of both the country and its protecting power is and never has been a crime unless of course there are international sanctions imposed by the UN which there are not.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Yet another warning, and what's the deadline this time? 2289?

So they are going to report the drilling to the Stock exchanges of USA and UK?

This isn't a threat, it's a comedy show. 

This is a desperate ploy to make everyone on the oil rigs, FI and UK armed forces on the FI laugh  themselves to death so Argentina  can walk in unopposed while everyone writhes helplessly mortally wounded with humour.

So the British stock exchange is going to take any notice of an Argentine complaint based on a load of bollox that has got no legal justification?

Even lefty Obama is making sure that the World Bank does not loan money to  Argentina as it refuses to pay off debts, so any lectures involving anything to do with money and legality are going to be met with total derision by the rest of the world. I understand that YPF were trying to raise money/support in the USA recently, and got laughed at.

@20
This depends on whether the country these so called fugitives are caught in accepts Argentinas court ruling to be legal. And if any are kidnapped in SA and taken to Argentina you should take note that in Afghanistan and Iraq we brits are really good at rescuing hostages, as this is what international law would label them as.
Do you really think an RG court wants even a handful of H-Arsd SAS troopers breaking through and shooting the place to F***?

Because there is nothing you could do to stop them, ie remember Pebble Island 19/05/82, the finest commando raid in history?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[26 But as far as I'm aware there have been no new laws passed. 

Specifically the Argentine government says that the oil companies are operating in Argentine waters without a permit. They are ignoring the Falklands and its permits because they claim the Falklands don't exist as an external territory. Whereas, whether or not you support the Argentine claim on the islands, you would have to accept that as things stand the Falklands are a British Overseas Territory. The Argentinian legal case is therefore based on wishful thinking rather than the law as a court would understand it. A truly independent judiciary would find the Arg government action very difficult to support, I would expect.

That's why overseas investors would and should worry about Argentina. If CFK wants  it seems she can just move the goalposts, change the law or whatever to suit herself and whatever hare-brained scheme she comes up with next.]]></description>

This will not stop Argentina justice to prosecute all them and if they don’t comply with the requirement of Arg. Justice like to attend the court they will be declare in “rebelliousness” so the court can issue a international arrest warrant. In the case that executive UK govt. desire to protect them may be UK justice desire the contrary, but as in UK there is not real separation of power I guess that they will prevail.

But the offenders could not put a foot in any other country without risking to be caught by Interpol.
 
About if is a crime in the country host of the warrant.

1- Case “Richard O'Dwyer” British citizen was found not guilty over infringement of copyright material in UK (was not a crime in UK). But a US court desired the contrary and he is extradited to face charges in US.
“O’Dwyer’s TVShack website, while not in violation of any UK laws where he lived and operated it, infringed on American copyright legislation “

2- “In this case the warrant will not be recognised as entering into a commercial contract with the agreement of the government of both the country” 
Doesn’t matter is what Arg. Justice ruled out and if they say is a crime so in the area of influence of Arg. justice (all countries signed EA) will be forced to comply with Argentina. 

@ LEPRecon
As you always wrong, I can sue you in Argentina and even you are not here if the court take ma case I can make extradite you from Iran of course Iran can refuse like in the case of the terrorist attack in Arg. But you cannot put a foot outside of the country that protects you.  

You must comply with the court if not you become a refugee in some little island.

      <description><![CDATA[Argentinas threats to oil companies have utterly failed. The purpose of the threats was to try and place a strnagle hold on the Islands from devloping a hydro-carbon industry by discouraging investors. However, it has not worked and the Islands have attratced the investment they require to kick start the industry. Argentine has been made a fool of int he international market as investors have shown that they put more weight in the words of support from the UK government than in hollow threats from the Argentine government. They are now being forced to take the legal action (I have no idea of the cost, the court which has the jursitictation to hear the case, or how any ruling will be applied or bindiong in international law) in order to try and show they are not just a toothless old dog than the international investoment market no longer wishes to do buisness with. 

The only country currently loosing foreign investment is Argentina, the Falklands are thriving and attracting huge intrest in THEIR resources, while Argentine is being forced to sell out to China.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[@27  I note your points BUT may I suggest that the UK is recognised by the UN as the Administering Authority for the Falkland Islands. The UN has no authority and no power to change that.  Therefore, it matters not a jot whether CFK "moves the goalposts". The only "goalposts" she can change are those recognised by argieland. Even if the whole General Assembly were to vote in favour of argieland's new "goalposts", it would have no legal effect.  The only body that "might" be able to legally make a change would be the ICJ.  That would require both the UK and argieland to put the matter before the ICJ and agree to accept its judgement. Argieland would never dare do this. It knows it would lose. But even then, what country has previously refused to recognise an ICJ judgement? Argieland, of course. So, even if the matter were taken to the ICJ and the judgement were to go against Britain, Britain could simply follow the argie example and refuse to accept the judgement.
@28  Funny little boy.  Apart from the ridiculousness of your first paragraph, you do realise that Interpol cannot arrest anyone anywhere, don't you? Just admit that you know nothing about the law.  And did you know that no-one can be extradited for a civil matter?  Sue all you like. Only one place you can "enforce" an argie civil judgement. Argieland.

If you knew anything about contracts, you would know that they typically contain a clause stating the jurisdiction under which disputes are to be settled. If Argentina is refusing to respect the judgements of jurisdictions to which it has legally committed itself, then you don't have to hunt very far to find where the hypocrite is.

The real question is,
Can she, or cant she,

Apparently, inside Argentina, she cant have you all put up against a wall, and tickled to death,
[You thought  I was going to say ??]

But out side of argentine influence, she has no more enforceable,  power than the pilchard islands,

She has no way to enforce,   nothing,
[except]
Collaboration secondary back up,
Now then,,
If she could persuade the rest of south America, to enforce argentine law, you might have a headache, and she will have nightmares,

Truth is mates, 
CFK can do nothing, out side of argentine territory,
And that is a fact , a very true fact,
Unless ?????????????
We leave this bit to the clever intelligent Argies, as they will no doubt tell us all otherwise lol.
Just a tickle.

Britain is not blind to the antics of the tantrum child but when you're dealing with a child you have to use kid gloves  and CFK is no adult.

Argentina is breaking its own constitution in meddling with the affairs of the islanders wether it be drilling for oil or flights to neighbouring countries. It specifically states that argentina should respect the way of life of the islanders. So, if they want to wear  hats fashioned from whiffy fish entrails or drive on the correct side of the road or drill for oil then Argentina should respect this.  The constitution states:

"respectful of the way of life of their inhabitants and according to the principles of international law"

The islanders break no international laws and they do not seek to meddle in the lives of argentinians. The same cannot be said for argentina. :-(]]></description>

"This will not stop Argentina justice to prosecute all them and if they don’t comply with the requirement of Arg. Justice like to attend the court they will be declare in “rebelliousness” so the court can issue a international arrest warrant. ... But the offenders could not put a foot in any other country without risking to be caught by Interpol."

Pure rubbish, same as the case you refer to has no bearing on the Falklands issue.

If you were right, Britain could pass a law making it illegal to refer to the Falkland Islands as "Malvinas" and issue a international arrest warrant for all Argentinos who use that expression. The offenders could not put a foot in any other country without risking to be caught by Interpol.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[@89 
 There is no such name as the Malvinas.

 Otherwise the democratically elected government of the Falklands would be called the M-I-G.

I could call the islands  Diddledeeland, Hawkens Maidenland, Scraggpaddockpointaria,  Albatrosstina   Tussacgrassaria, Wokkawokkanada, Wheniwasistan,   all of them like the Malvinas, complete and utter nonsense  because the people who live there recognise them as,  the Falkland Islands.

 There are no 'Malvinas' signs on the Islands, which is the biggest and most obvious giveaway.

To call the Islands the Malvinas, the Argentines will have to prove with history that cannot be disputed, and that according to international law without any shadow of a doubt, the Falklands belong to them. 

 They cannot.  

Every Malvinista that has tried to argue the Argentinian  case  on these posts including the spirited and well argued case of the guy that says that the UK only own Port Egmont, has failed to answer the counter arguments deployed by the pro-Falklands side. Even that guy came unstuck because if the UK only owned Port Egmont, therefore Spain only owned Port Louis, which killed off his argument  about Spain owning the rest of the islands. 

The other option is that the Argentines will have to invade the Islands against the Falkland Islander's will to impose this comic, ridiculous sounding name. 

I mean, Malvinas, it sounds like a diseased vineyard.]]></description>

Good sign! It's a pity it's not 300 feet high with flashing lights!

All in all, this is a non-story, as the Argentine government remains completely impotent.  All it has been able to do for the last 30 years is stamp its foot and cry.  That doesn't impress anyone, and the companies will keep drilling, and then they'll reap the profits.  And because of Argentine arrogance and pettiness by uni-laterally pulling out of agreements with the Falkland Islanders they will get nothing at all.

Added to this is the fact that the Argentine government has spent the last 12 months humiliating itself on the world stage, and this impotent threat is just one more way of embarrassing itself.]]></description>
