2 April 2022 marked the 40 anniversary of Argentina\u2019s invasion of the Falkland Islands. In 1982, the Argentinian Military Junta attempted to seize the Islands, along with South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.

However, four decades later the issue remains a point of contention between the United Kingdom and Argentina. So, is there any way to resolve it?<\/p>\n

For almost 200 years, Britain and Argentina have been at odds over The Falkland Islands. Indeed, in 1965, the United Nations General Assembly called for negotiations between the two countries over the issue, which is viewed as an issue of decolonisation. However, after 15 years of talks, in 1982, the Military Government in Argentina tried to retake the Islands, known to the Argentinians as the Malvinas, by force. Although this fails, the issue remains a source of tension. While Argentine sees it as a matter of territorial integrity, Britain views it as an issue of self-determination. As long as the Falkland Islanders see themselves as British, or want to be ruled by Britain, then they have the right to have their wishes respected. But is there an alternative to the binary sovereignty problem. Could shared sovereignty – a condominium – offer an alternative route. <\/p>\n
