What happened

Well supportedReported by 7 independent outlets

Argentina filed a formal criminal complaint against several international energy companies, including Navitas, regarding oil and gas exploration conducted under British licenses near the Falkland Islands. Separately, Argentina asked the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea to order the United Kingdom to halt the Sea Lion oil project in the North Malvinas Basin. The country also reinforced its challenge to British energy operations in the Falklands.
