AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Sea Lion Dispute: Argentina has asked the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea to suspend drilling and new infrastructure at the Sea Lion oil project, arguing that development risks irreversible harm to disputed resources. The UK rejects the request and says Islanders have the right to develop their natural resources. ITLOS plans to announce its decision on provisional measures on November 28; the wider dispute is for arbitration. Pressure on Oil Executives: Rockhopper CEO Sam Moody told the tribunal Argentina threatened him and the company’s CFO with prosecution, imprisonment and fines over the project. Island Affairs: Princess Anne visited the Falklands this week and opened the new National Sports Complex.
