Read all commentsAnd Argentina still lays claim to the Falkland Islands?
Jun 15th, 2018 - 08:32 am +2Because Britain has held the Falklands continuously since 1833, British title is indefeasible. Moreover, such a conclusion is quite valid when it is remembered that title in international law is a relative concept and, therefore, a superior title is all that is required. (Disputed Sovereignty in the Falkland Islands: The Argentina – Great Britain Conflict of 1982, Florida State University Law Review, p674, Watkins N.J. 1983, quoting. Y. Blum, Historic Titles in International Law p 223 (1965).
