The Falkland Islands belong to the British Overseas Territories, which remained after the collapse of the colonial system. This archipelago, which consists of more than 700 islands, has a strategic importance because it is a transit point on the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. The Falklands is home to the British Air Force and Navy. Since the 19th century, the islands have become the subject of a constant territorial dispute between the United Kingdom and Argentina, which defended its right to them both at the negotiating table and on the battlefield. The aim of the article is to study the dynamics and content of Argentine-British relations associated with the "Falklands issue" and ways to normalize them. Both sides have repeatedly resorted to the system of international law to influence each other, but their territorial dispute has not yet been settled. The maintaining strong economic, political and cultural ties with the inhabitants of the archipelago, as well as the strengthening of their British identity, currently remains a key factor in the superiority of the United Kingdom over Argentina in the "Falklands issue". |
